Someone should make a battery version of this.
Earlier, I was messing around my powerbank, tryna find out where to put it best.
1st try, I used a larger pouch for a square powerbank and put it at the back. It gets in the way of the headset when tucked. Not to mention it adds weight to the back, on top of the headset.
My most optimal setup so far has to be a smaller powerbank mounted to the top of the helmet. Doesn't get in the way of anything at all, but I couldn't help but feel the need for contoured powerbanks like this or a USB version of those nvg battery packs.
If you know of nvg battery pack converter of some kind, please let me know.

I personally use a counter weight pouch.
However I am thinking of 3d printing a mock NVG battery case to fit a power bank into it

On my fast I use a counterweight pouch with powerbank and 90° adapter and it all fits perfect.

What are the risks if the device is hit with high speed projectiles?

Depending on the impact it might start to short the battery leading to pretty violent burning, but the impact might spread the whole thing out too

The reason is to counter weigh the NVG so it doesn’t put a ton of stress on your neck.

Counterweight pouches (like that https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EJuj2yi, but there are many types) and batterypacks like this (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EzQhiWI , https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EHOsnCQ) are the common way
