Extremely doubtful. If this was a feature, I’d imagine Apple would be touting it. At the same time, I don’t think it’s going to take more than a minute or two to swap the battery and pick up where you left off.

Would love a hot swappable battery.

Can't believe the Apple lithium battery pack costs $200 ?

I still bought one....

I’m guessing you can plug in the battery to charge since there’s a separate USB C port while you’re using. Waiting for confirmation before buying a second one. If so, I’ll just use a power bank like that for flights.

Power bank is a much better option than buying multiple Vision Pro batteries. The intention is that the AVP acts exactly like a MacBook, iPad, or iPhone except the battery and USB C charging port happens to live at the end of a cable instead of inside the device. I don't think Apple's intention is for you to fully shut the device down and unhook the battery very often. Supplement it with a 30w USB C PD power bank instead.

I did a bit of calculating based on the 353g official weight of the battery pack and it's likely to be a 20,000mah pack consuming about 10,000mah per hour. I plan on picking up a couple 20,000mah 30w USB C PD power banks ($30-50 each) and running those to extend away from AC power time.
