Listings show two common power sources: battery-powered cordless electric starters that use a 24V lithium‑ion battery, and handheld lighters that use butane fuel.
Electric starters commonly list two modes: Heat + Blower (heats and helps spark a flame) and Blower Only (adds airflow to strengthen or stoke an existing flame).
Many multipurpose lighters use long rigid metal wands, flexible wands, or extended wands to keep hands back from the flame; cordless electric starters also use a cool‑touch aluminum barrel for safer handling.
Listed fuel capacities range from 0.16 ounces up to 2 ounces.
