Pulsar thermal imaging units operate via batteries. These batteries are either internal or external. External batteries are mounted outside the unit and plug in by a cord into a port on the unit. An internal battery is inserted inside the unit and connects power that way. Each unit includes a battery; however, Pulsar offers extra interchangeable batteries for purchase for an additional cost offering you extended run times.
