1. Industry Background

VR and AR wearable devices are transforming the way users interact with digital environments, bringing immersive experiences into gaming, training, education, and professional workflows. As these devices become increasingly powerful, lightweight, and mobile, the demand for advanced battery performance grows correspondingly. A well-designed lithium battery pack plays a critical role in ensuring comfort, reliability, and smooth operation.

Modern VR/AR devices integrate high-resolution displays, multi-axis sensors, haptic feedback modules, onboard processors, and wireless connectivity. These functions require stable power delivery with a compact footprint. The shift from tethered headsets to fully mobile, standalone systems has created a high demand for high-density, safe, and lightweight lithium-ion batteries.

2. Technical Requirements for VR/AR Batteries

VR/AR wearables require batteries with:

• High energy density for extended runtime
• Lightweight and thin form factor
• Stable output for processors and displays
• High peak current for instant performance
• Low heat generation for user comfort
• Strong safety protections (overcurrent, short-circuit, thermal protections)

Common battery formats include:

• High-density pouch cells
• Slim lithium-polymer packs
• Customized curved-shape packs to follow headset ergonomics

3. Pain Points for Manufacturers

• Balancing long runtime with lightweight design
• Heat buildup near user’s face and head
• Mechanical constraints inside ultra-thin headsets
• Ensuring safety for consumer electronics
• Integrating fast charging (USB-C PD)
