The G-WIZ altimeters used 4 and 8 amp MOSFET pyro output transistors. Any well made high currrent MOSFET booster circuit will work, however you have to have a battery that will supply sufficient current.
In TRF 1.0 we had a good discussion concerning high current batteries.
https://www.rocketryforumarchive.com/showthread.php?t=31425 Battery capacity in AH does not necessarily convert to peak current capacity. The internal battery construction (electrode area), not the chemistry, principally determines the battery's internal resistance, and therefore the peak current you can draw. Spiral wound cylindrical batteries have larger electrode areas than pancake cells so the generate peak current. Pancake 7 cell 8.4 and 8-cell 9.6 volt rechargable 9 volt transistor style batteries do not supply as much peak current as 6-cell 7.2 volt rechargables which actually contain 6 cylindrical AAAA cells in series.
Today, 2 or 3 cell LiPo battery packs offer the best peak current to weight ratio.
