===Charge Pack===
[[File:Lasgun and charge pack.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Lasgun and a spare charge pack{{Fn|9}}]]
'''Charge packs''', also called '''power packs''',{{Fn|8}} are the ammunition power source for many Imperial las weapons.{{Fn|9}} [[Hotshot Laser Power Pack|Hotshot laser power pack]]s are an alternate form of power pack used for hot-shot las weapons, being more robust and expensive to make.{{Fn|}}
A major advantage of las weapons is the rechargeable power cells of their charge packs. Las charge packs can be refilled by connecting them to most Imperial Standard power sockets. These can also be recharged through exposure to light, heat, and even naked flame, however, doing so shortens the pack's lifespan and risks upsetting the weapon's [[machine spirit]].{{Fn|9}}
