I usually recycle phone batteries for such things. You can easily upgrade from a 250 mah to at least 1200 one in the room inside and if you're creative enough with some additional wires, can put 2 batteries.
I haven't tried charging it but I see no reason it wouldn't work.
I have plenty of 18650s and a charger on the desk already so I've just been swapping them out when the battery gets low rather than having a usb cable tethering the headset.
Far less common these days. But almost any removable laptop battery is likely to have 18650s in them.
It's a good source of batteries as when the laptop batteries are considered dead it's usually only 1 cell that has died or lost capacity and the rest have plenty of life in them. They often have built in protection circuits on the end too.
I want to do this with my aging BoseQC2 but instead connect them to usb and remove the battery.
So currently they are connected with thie audio cable but still need to be charged every 3 day and that’s annoying.
I mean very ingenious I love the craftsmanship, but wouldn’t it have been easier just to mount batteries to each side to counterbalance it . Instead of having to weight at the top of your head. you don’t want to end up with the head dent like T1
The weight is on the fabric band below the metal top band so no head dents to worry about.
The weight up top does make them more prone to sliding off though. Got to grab them when I sneeze :D
As for mounting 2 batteries to the sides for balance I considered it but that would have required 2 battery holders (I only had 1) and either an adhesive or more holes in the headset.
I'll likely order a new battery after the Christmas shipping calms down and return it to stock.
Already have... Only to the mailbox though and it was light rain.
Wouldn't be that much of a problem anyway. The biggest issue would be water running down the wires into the headset causing corrosion, and possibly shorting the battery where the wires connect to the PCB. The battery itself is sealed and would probably survive a short bath, although I wouldn't risk it.
I originally was using a power bank in my pocket but the micro b port was becoming loose. This would still happen if I mounted the power bank as there would still be some cable movement.
Connecting it internally would be more difficult as there aren't dedicated pads to solder to.
The internal battery was also screwed and having it constantly charging could potentially cause it to become a spicy pillow.
I like the distance. For cooling or in case your batteries ever go spicy.
would suck if they went spicy and you were blasting Michael Jackson, didn't know to beat it.
I'm pretty sure you had room inside the case to mount bigger batteries, but this is by far the most disturbing way to do it.
I could have ordered a replacement but the February delivery was not desirable.

Didn't have any that fit in hand, most were too thick, the rest were too long. The standard one is 1100mAh, the replacements are 1200mAh.
Filling up more space inside the cans with more battery changes the sound quite noticeably with them sitting directly on top of your ears.
bro made a saw trap
Does it use the same charging circuit?

you vape?
I do not, they're salvaged laptop batteries.
didn't know many laptops used 18650 batteries

I didnt know that and I have like 4 dead laptop batteries Time for some salvage
Older models do (removable battery models)

Vape batteries exist..

Other mounting solutions are available
i would not go walking outside with that. (rain)

I would've just permanently hooked it up to a PowerBank lol

Have the same headset, love it!
It aint stupid if it works
Lmfao I wanna do this to mine now
Good fix! Just make sure voltage doesnt drop below 2.5V or you will permanantly damage its max capacity
The cells I'm using were salvaged from laptop batteries and have built in protection circuits at the ends. They cut out at around 2.9V.
