Carina W1 Wearable Power Pak

This is a great battery life extender for my Quest 3S. It is easy to put on around my waist and doesn't bother me while I'm in VR/AR. You get a lot more time in VR using this device, and I'm very happy with my purchase. It works amazingly, and I love how long my VR sessions can be now using this device. There's not much else to say about it. It charges pretty quickly with a 65w laptop USB-C charger, and it feels high quality and well made. The belt clips around you and is adjustable. I'm not a small guy at 6'0, 254lbs, but this thing fits around my waist no problem. I have a slimmer waist though as I have a football players build with broad shoulders and a slim waistline. Even if you're very rotund, you can put it across your chest and still use it.I give the unit 5 stars all around, and I am glad I bought this thing.

This device is great. If you charge it overnight, it performs well throughout the day, lasting about 4 to 5 hours. It can be strapped to your waist or worn as a crossbody, providing versatility. The charging time is quick, and the battery life is impressive. The adjustable strap adds to its convenience. Additionally, the small display is just right. However, if you're already using full-body tracking in VR, it can be challenging to use both this crossbody charger and the tracking equipment simultaneously. It feels like you're gearing up for battle, and it can be a bit uncomfortable with so much to strap on.

This seems so much better than buying a headpiece with a battery on the back (to me, anyway). It's extremely convenient, holds a long charge, it's very easy to put on and take off. The clasp fits together with little indentations and bumps (so that it wouldn't slide apart) and very strong magnets. So it almost closes itself.I thought out of the box it seemed pretty heavy, but honestly, when I'm wearing it I don't notice it at all.I do Supernatural Fitness, tennis, boxing, fishing, lots of different things on my meta quest, and most of them are active. It is SO nice not to worry that my headset isn't fully charged before I start an hour workout, or just want to relax and go fishing for an hour.If you want something attractive and functional and you don't want the battery on your head, you might want to give this a try. Sure, you can just buy a battery pack, but then you have to either have a pocket, or get some sort of sling or belt to put it in. I chose this easy way!

Works good, extend playing time
