30-6 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 On the original charging lead that came with my thermal spotter there is something built into the lead. What is it for ? Can I use a normal straight lead ? Or is it best to only use original ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
