An extra battery pack connected by a cable powers the Vision Pro. We’ll have to wait for a deconstruction video to learn the capacity of Apple’s batteries because the company usually doesn’t disclose this information. Unlike many other Apple goods, like the iPhone, the headset actually comes with a charger in the box, and the battery is said to last up to two hours. The business states that the Vision Pro can weigh up to 650g depending on your configuration and that the battery pack weighs 353g.
