In a diesel engine, a glow plug (also spelled glowplug) is a heating device used to aid starting of the engine in cold weather.This device is a pencil-shaped piece of metal with an electric heating element at the tip.
The actual voltage, matching the car battery's voltage, will be approximately 12.5 volts when dormant (less in cold conditions), approximately 14.5 volts when the engine and the alternator/generator are operating (more when cold), and may briefly drop as low as 5–6 volts during engine start due to the high temporary battery current usage.
