Belkin Expected to Sell Battery Pack Clip Accessory for Apple Vision Pro

According to the headline, the clip will be sold by Belkin.
Some of their stuff is pricy, but I don't know whether "thinking like Belkin" is as sick a burn as "thinking like Apple".
Belkin sells USB cables as low as $8.99, and multi-device wireless chargers that are $100+. But you could hold out for the laser-engraved titanium clip from Apple, if you want.
You might be younger than I am. Batteries for laptops in the 90s would last about 2 hours. Every year the manufacturers would tout their improved batteries, and every year the batteries would be good for 2 hours in the real world.
I had a portable video camera in 1982. The camera weighed 10 pounds. The separate VCR with a handle weighed 22 pounds. And the lead-acid battery was good for 45 minutes, tops.
"Batteries included" has a broader sense of "comes with everything you might need for practical use". My comment was a joke riffing on that. It was not about battery capacity or weight.
And yes, I remember 90s laptop batteries. Though I also remember batteries on Walkmen and Palm Pilots lasting for weeks and months. But that’s a different topic.

Fake eyes feature should not even exist. That thing is just scary, and i'm sure a lot of little kids will have nightmares after seeing their parents with that that "thing"
The kids won’t batter an eye lid. In 50 years time they’ll laugh at us as they sit around on cruise ships like the scene from Wall-E.
I'm wondering if/how they envision swapping batteries. If you disconnect it from the headset will it immediately power down, or is there a small internal battery to allow a swap without power down?
Also, would be neat if you could daisy chain a battery on to charge the main battery via the USB-C port. Could be a first party solution or could simply be a power tool battery with a USB adapter/belt clip.

I don’t think a belt clip is really necessary. I plan on using my FlipBelt running belt for securing the Vision Pro battery pack. The battery pack should easily fit. With four pouches, the FlipBelt would even hold a spare battery pack and iPhone. FlipBelts cost around $35 on Amazon. There are other running belt brands like Fitgriff that cost less.
