Apple’s Vision Pro battery pack is hiding the final boss of Lightning cables::The Vision Pro’s battery connector is removable once you press the eject button, and it uses a 12-pin connector that looks like a wider version of a Lightning cable.

yay, I'm glad I can buy a spare proprietary connector from Apple Inc™
If it was hardwired you would need to buy a whole new kit…
And does anyone even know the tech specs to know if an existing cable is capable of providing the power the device needs?
USB C cables can provide more than enough if made properly. No way this device exceeds those specs.
Nah, Apple will gladly take your money for a replacement.
And I have no idea of the specs, but I've seen some truly power hungry laptops that charge with USB-C.
No… but you agree as well… what? A battery with an attached cable kit would cost vastly more than just a replaceable cable mate. Atleast Apple didn’t go that route, of course they want your money, they could have taken more by not having a replaceable cable at all…..
The pack charges with USB-c this cable goes from headset to battery pack and could provide more power or even data than what usb-c does. So atleast it’s replaceable instead of being hardwired and needing to buy a whole new kit to replace a damaged connecto/cable.
