InfoPocket-Scott Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Does anyone know when we can purchase a spare battery for the HMD? The only place I ever saw it listed was a HTC website in Australia. https://www.vive.com/au/accessory/vive-focus3-battery/ Nothing on the HTC Japan, USA or EU site for the battery. Living in Tokyo I would definitely like to get a spare battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 @InfoPocket-Scott Working to find an answer for you. Shipping container logistics are bananananananas right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 @InfoPocket-Scott - As I suspected, it's all shipping container logistics. The batteries have all already been shipped - it's just taking different time for different regions to get them due to the logistics crunch (truck driver & port worker shortages, lack of containers, etc...). It's taking a while to get boats unloaded into trucks in almost every country. We don't have any timelines we can share since we're at the mercy of the international shipping industry. We expect units to arrive in our North America depot either this week or or next and I would imagine a similar story with other regions. We're not going to say anything officially though until the cargo hits our depot since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfoPocket-Scott Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 @HackPerception Thank you for looking into this for me. Where are the containers embarking from if I may inquire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBrain Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I'm also waiting for them to be available here (Europe). The Australian listing puzzled me because to my understanding Australia is actually the strictest about high capacity battery shipments ironically enough haha. Good to know you've done your part in terms of shipping, kinda sad to hear it's entirely out of HTC's hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfoPocket-Scott Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 I ordered the spare Focus 3 battery today from HTC Japan. Should arrive sometime next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfoPocket-Scott Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 The spare focus 3 battery arrived last night. I love HTC Japan for their promptness in getting me the battery so quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBrain Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm still waiting for the batteries to go on sale in the EU.... It seem they're available on the US site now but that doesn't ship the EU countries so I'm stuck waiting.... Any ETA or explanation for the EU's lack of batteries being for sale at all?

C.T. Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 EU site should have it very soon in 1 or 2 more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBrain Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Ordered a battery and EU-plug 30watt charger yesterday, arrived in the mail today, glad to see EU selling the battery now! 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
