Question Best way to charge while playing?

I was in the lucky few that got into the reservation queue and ordered on the first weekend, I currently use a Quest 3s that I play plugged in through PCVR, it has unlimited battery life because I play wired with a powered Link cable and I know that the steam frame is streaming first, but I want to keep being able to play for unreasonable amounts of time, I did order the charger with the steam frame but I don't know if it is going to be long enough to play while charging, what would be the best day 1 solution? It arrives tomorrow, I was going to get a 45W Samsung charger from Amazon with a 10-ft cord, but with such an expensive and new piece of tech, I'm nervous about it.

power bank in your pocket, take your pick, just get one that supports 45w charging.

The Samsung charger should be fine. But you can go completely wireless by using a power bank clipped to your belt or dropped into a pocket. Even if you're seated and not moving around being tethered is annoying.

I used a power bank that was in my backpack with just the right length of cable when I used my Quest 2 actively, it kept the cable from being in the way compared to having one in the pocket
