Aftermarket battery recommendations

As us poor aussies cant get the elite strap with battery from Oculus  I am looking at getting an aftermarket battery for the standard elite strap.
Yes I know its available through Amazon AU but as I've already ordered the standard strap that isn't a cost effective solution.
Which aftermarket batteries are you guys using on the Quest and which do you guys recommend or not recommend accordingly.
Please provide links in your recomendations if possible.

im in the same boat aussie i used this guide here https://bit.ly/3jHpLTu on reddit , i havent grabbed  a battery yet but i have found the triangle bag on amazon aus , i will find a link for it .

Edit : the bag is $8.60 https://amzn.to/36MvaVN

Edit Edit : I also grabbed some velcro ties $4.60 https://amzn.to/3iKN39w

Edit Edit Edit i also grabbed a cushion/pad $18 https://amzn.to/3iIcMiY

With a little bit of macgyvering it should work

Thanks two dogs although most of the links in that reddit guide don't load anymore.

The battery I was looking at is here even though its only 5A/hr at AUD$46

I like how its not a big flat box like most of them and includes its own silicon strap.

As far as the case is concerned I was looking at this one here at AUD$30 but not sure how the Quest 2 will fit even though they say it will.

Will that pad for Quest 1 even fit the Quest 2 Elite Headstrap? The design at the back of the Quest 1 and Quest 2 Elite strap looks different.

I take it you mean the battery?
 Not sure but it will fit round the side slightly and may fit the black part at the back but could be uncomfortable, may even fit at the back of the upper strap.
I sent a message to Kiwi Design to see if they plan to redesign it, and if so make it QuestLink pass through able.

@Eatsrootsleaves No I meant the ‘Esimen Head Pad’. I think the Kiwi battery pack will most likely fit okay.

Oh I see....yeah would say you are right about that.
The Esimen Case above probably wont fit The elite strap either.

I contacted Kiwi Design about the Q5 battery and they replied saying they will redesign the battery for the Quest2....will take 3-4 months to produce. I strongly suggested they include Questlink pass through in their redesign...hope they do.
Might just wait for 3-4 months then  😛

>>>>>>     I might Get This one as well great shape , the only other thought was the weight of it as a counterweight to the front.<<<<<<

I bought this one https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07V36XMVJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For the battery .................. The Quest draws about 2.8A of power, so if you get a 2.1A charger it will diffuse slowly but If you get a 3A charger it'll charge while i'm using the Link.
>Totally wireless 2 batteries roughly 2-3 hours each battery so 4-6 Hours.
>Ive also bought a USB-C pcie Port card as i dont have any USB-C ports on my mobo , The card has 1 USB-c Port and i think 2 USB 3 Ports .

Edit : Its prime day on the 12th & 13th oct , so i will leave the battery till then see if i can score a decent priced one .

Yeah thats why i said it may need some Macgivering to fit . But this is for the normal strap NOT the elite headstrap as i have 2 quests coming .
