Hi That's not a smart idea, but if the external battery doesn't go under 30% and is the same ampere and volts it should be fine but I still advise you to connect the internal battery for the safety of the headset.

@sungrimlee there is no reason why it wouldn't. All you need is the right voltage. I am sure that there are many out here that really would like to know why you would want to do that. Let us know what is on your mind.

Built-in batteries are short-lived and use-time.

More importantly, removing the built-in battery can reduce the weight.

It's because I only want to use external batteries like Apple's Vision Pro.

@sungrimlee the execution on this could be a bit different. YOu may have to reuse or modify the battery controller and the connector. I am certain that the VR logic board requires the feedback from the battery. I wonder.....does the headset come on when you have an empty battery but connect the AC adapter? If so, I'd go through that port to supply power from an external battery. That would not require any mod on the inside of the headset/battery.
