The only thing I can think of that would destroy three ignitors would be excessive voltage.

A bad alternator/regulator can produce some very high voltage spikes that might not be visible on a voltmeter but would show up on an oscilloscope.

A battery charger or trickle charger shouldn't account for voltage spike ignitor damage since the ignition would be turned off while charging the battery.

Jump starting from a battery charger with a 'booster' mode might cause spikes.

That's all I can think of at the moment...

You don't live under high voltage power lines, do you?

Jim
