I am sure Anker will come out their own Vision Pro battery pack for $100!

Are you sure you want that?
That is the whole point. VP is head wearable, not just in your arms or pocket. For thing that stays in your face, you need to make sure the power supply is 200% safe Apple approved and certified, but can you be sure if people will not buy any Chinese cheap batteries to plug into it?
A face explosion is not pretty.
edit: to be fair the model is using make up, that was not real burnt.

DING, we have a winner.
FYI charging rate seems to be very fast. One of the reviewers (I think it’s Brian) mention 1.5 hours from zero to 100%. Can someone confirm?
You are right. I’m not referring to the Lightning interface (slow) but to the design of the connector.
That’s been happening to me a lot. The receiver becomes unstable sometimes, and I suspect it’s the bad contact of the connector. And I’m very careful with it.
I would look for a third party cable and battery if Apple made a USB-C power cable. USB-C will fall out at the drop of a hat. Remember the biggest weakness of USB-C is that it’s a crap connector that‘s poorly designed so that the cable falls out easily over time. You want a locking cable on both ends, so that neither side falls out. Imagine almost finishing your work you’ve been working on for eight hours and just before you hit save, you turn to the side and your arm knocks the cable out of the headset and it dies. Whoops, no more work.
This defence of the locking mechanism is nonsensical. There are so many ways they could make a locking mechanism - or even just not have one, it’s not like USB-C connectors are insecure.
What they did was done to ensure generic non-Apple batteries could not be used and people would have to fork out $200 for a replacement battery AND whatever it costs for a replacement certified cable.
They may be lucky that passthrough batteries could be considered exempt. But if consumers are lucky the EU will some day not agree.

If it is true that the battery supplies several different voltages to the VPs components then that isn't going to happen unless some Apple specialist vendor develops one. But there may be signaling issues that make that impossible.
If it only has one port, how would you plug it into the wall or charge the battery while using it?
The only reason why someone who hates Apple hangs out on MacRumors is because they are a troll.
It's locked in place so the cable doesn't disconnect while it is in your pocket. Even if it were USB-C it would require a fatter plug so you could lock that in place.
