[Leica] DMR/M8 Question

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

George,


Well, the short answer is yes they are the same. ?I got an answer from a guy 
on the Leica Forum, who uses the cord on both chargers. ?I also talked to 
Dave Elwell at Leica NJ this morning, and his first answer was No, as the 
connectors are not the same, he told me the DMR had a 3 pin socket, where 
the M8 had a 2 pin socket. ?I told him that on both of my chargers have a 2 
pin socket and that the M8 DC cord plugs into both. ?He told me that the 
cord should then work for both, they are from the same supplier.


Cheers,
Gene
