You’re wrong, go watch some review videos.
I meant directly to the headset, of course you can dangerously daisy chain another battery pack with usb-c to the battery pack ( thats a possible fire hazard btw, so please dont try it out thx )
Why is it dangerous? If the battery can deliver 30W then it’s in spec.
Its dangerous like all the other reasons why not to daisy chain a extension cords.
Please explain why. Do you really think an extension cord works the same way as a USB cable?
Daisy chaining extension chords is dangerous because there is a current limit on them and no fuse. Also, the voltage drops the longer the cable is and thus there might not be enough left at the end to power whatever you’re trying to connect.
All of this doesn’t apply to electronically controlled and fused power supplies.
What? That's not a fire hazard at all. Your second battery would provide at most 100 watts which is perfectly safe and not going to cause any fires.
If you submerge the battery in water or stab it with a knife... sure it might catch fire. But that's pretty much the only risk so long as you stick to reputable brands that comply with safety standards.
