THAT would be due to double failure to insert the igniters correctly or a combination of that and shorts.

Six C cells through the decently-sized wire on the PSII controller works fine.

That said, of the two PSII controllers I have, the one I use regularly has a 3s 1250 mAh LiPoly inside, connected through the provided port in the battery bay. That works even better (even though the internal port takes the little orange JST plug, which is not what I would choose for high current use). The duty cycle is so low, one gets away with it just fine.
