Mounting a Battery Bank to Your VR Headset: Best Methods
Key Insights
Extend your playtime indefinitely. Learn the most secure and comfortable ways to mount an external battery bank to your VR headset.
A high-capacity battery bank is the best way to extend your standalone VR sessions, but mounting it correctly is key to comfort and safety. One popular method is using 'Velcro straps' or '3D-printed brackets' to attach the battery to the back of the head strap, which also serves as a perfect counterweight. Alternatively, you can use a 'chest harness' or a 'waist pack' and run a long, high-quality USB-C cable (with a 90-degree connector) up to your headset. For a cleaner look, many 'Elite' style head straps now come with integrated battery slots. Whichever method you choose, ensure the battery is securely fastened and that the cable has enough slack to not strain the headset's port during intense movement.
