Abstract

A swappable battery and a swappable battery system for a near-eye device are described. In one aspect, the swappable battery may be detachably integrated into an outer surface of a near-eye device such that the swappable battery may be easily removable and replaceable by the user. In another aspect, the lid of the swappable battery may form an outer surface of the near-eye device when the swappable battery is attached. In some examples, the swappable battery may be detachably attached within a temple arm of a pair of smartglasses such that the outer surface of the swappable battery and the outer surface of the temple arm are substantially contiguous and flush.
