REVIEWS - PrismXR Carina W1 Power Belt — Fixing VR battery life permanently

The Meta Quest 2 has a problem – the VR headset was ahead of its time in terms of being entirely untethered by a PC, but the battery life was frankly garbage. The Meta Quest 3 improved on the Quest 2 in every way, providing higher resolution gaming at faster refresh rates, a better processor, more memory, and the same great wireless freedom. Unfortunately it also had the same awful battery life. Asgard’s Wrath II, with all of its incredible visuals, pushes the hardware to heights we’ve not seen in a VR game before. Unfortunately, right about the time you are getting into the story, you’ll get the dreaded warning about battery life, with the Quest 3 lasting just about an hour of gameplay without a secondary battery solution. There are a handful of headsets with battery packs either on the side or the rear of the HMD, but do we really want MORE weight on our head and neck? If, like me, your answer is a resounding NO, then the PrismXR Carina might be exactly what you need.
