They run for some time to purge any gas that may have been in the chamber before they even begin to try to light. There is a switch inside that senses air flow if it is not great enough the gas valve will not open and it will sit there and run until you turn the thermostat off. I would suggest that you plug it in to the house power and try it if the battery is not charged enough the fan may not turn fast enough to trip the switch.
