Extends your power different from a power bank

Very expensive but It is amazing how everything that you spend on Meta works together differently than you think. This extension of your power does NOT charge up your internal battery pack unlike the old concept of plugging in a power bank to keep your internal battery topped off and continuously charging to give you extra power. This Elite Strap with battery provides your Quest 3 with a separate power source that uses the battery as though it is using it as a primary and switches to your internal battery when the power is completely used up. So you get between the internal and external battery somewhere around 4 to 5 hours of usage. Quite different from using an external power bank that simply keeps the internal charged up and basically destroying your internal battery over time much like keeping your laptop on plug all the time. How do I know that it isn't charging up your internal battery? when you hover your cursor above the battery indicator in your hud inside your headset it shows your two batteries and its power. If you turn off your external battery by pressing and holding down the power button located beside the usb-c connector at the back, you should see 100% remaining on the internal battery. Over time some internal battery is used and some external battery is used. Never do we see charging when the elite strap battery is plugged in. If you do plug a power bank into the usb-c plugin on the headset you see a "charging indicator" instead of the two power source of the elite strap battery. Is it worth the price of the elite strap with battery? well it is the only external battery that will probably double the usage time of your headset without charging your internal battery..... and even though you could charge your elite strap battery by plugging a power source into the usb-c plug at the back of the elite strap and I heard that you have to keep the usb-c battery plugged into the quest 3 while charging otherwise you only get 70% charging, you probably might need to spend twice the money to buy the charging dock that was made for this purpose because probably it charges the elite strap battery separately but charges fully through the quest 3 headset circuitry. So complicated and so so expensive. plus after 4 hours on the dock if you leave your quest 3 ON while charging, it never fully charges.... putting my headset on to see about 90% charged after 4 hours. So I turned off my headset and an hour later the light turns green on both my headset and my elite strap battery indicator. Yup you need this Elite Strap with Battery and the Charging Dock both.... sigh.... I don't think you can call this nickel and dimming you, more like robbing you with accessories.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Should come with it

Compared to standard strap it’s like night and day.
Way more comfortable, top strap is nice and soft and it’s black so won’t show dirt.
Sides are plastic and with dial adjustment it’s super easy to switch between people, stock strap have nice looking white material but it’s getting dirty easy - plastic is tones better.

Doubled play time is another bonus.
