There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

Hi!
The HoloLens will work on battery or not?
If yes, what will be the autonomy? And the capacity (Ah) and the tension of the battery (Volts)?
Thank you for your help!

Microsoft hasn't said specifically to my knowledge and I can't find my paperwork with them, but they are lithium ion rechargeable batteries. They have a warning on their shipping boxes about them. There are I think 6 battery packs inside source is here. I don't know much more than that.
Ok thanks for the answer.
If I find a way, I will try to ask them if they can give me an estimate.
I just find this.
Hardware details:

2-3 hours of autonomy.
But no informations about the characteristics of the battery.
Yes, I've been wanting to get mAh for the batteries as well so I can estimate how long it'll last with an external battery. You can probably estimate the battery capacity by seeing how long it takes to charge and/or the input current from the charger. Li-ion's charge current is usually between 50 to 100% of the battery capacity, depending on the design and engineered lifetime of the battery (faster charging degrades the battery faster). The charger is 2.5A output, so this gives an estimated 2,500mAh to 5,000mAh. My guess is closer to 5,000mAh considering how much hardware is being ran off of them.
Interesting. Thank you. I'm trying to contact Microsoft about this question. If I get an answer you will know.
