The batteries supply the needed energy, and complete the circuit, allowing the torch to work. (You can see the effect of having a complete circuit, for it to work when you put the batteries in the wrong way. This disconnects the circuit.)

Instead of using a flame, they use a heating element to light the cigarette. They are much safer to use, but often are heavier because of the battery weight.

My husband has a rapidly growing selection of lighters - mostly colibri - and despite filling with the recommended gas, they just will not light. We thought it may be battery problems, but obviously not.

Any suggestions as to what is going wrong, and how to fix the problem.

Does the army still use zippo?

They're not issued anymore. Most soldiers taking lighters to the field with them will bring disposable butane lighters. Quite a few do carry Zippos they purchase from the PX or BX. Still others, especially overseas, may purchase lighters of local manufacture. While stationed in Germany, I carried a truly windproof lighter that I traded with a German police officer for. It was battery operated and required no liquid or gas fuel.
