To sum up, the neck-mounted power bank of the present application combines a battery and a controller at the same time. When the neck-mounted power bank is connected to the electronic device through a wire, the battery can supply power to the electronic device. When the controller of the neck-mounted power bank is detached from its tray, the controller can wirelessly control the electronic device. Therefore, users only need to carry a single accessory to obtain the functions of charging and wireless controller at the same time. When the neck-mounted power bank is applied to the head-mounted display device, the battery of the neck-mounted power bank can supply power to the head-mounted display device. Therefore, the head-mounted display device may be equipped with only a low-capacity battery or no battery, in order to reduce the weight of the head-mounted display device. Meanwhile, the controller of the neck-mounted power bank can wirelessly control the head-mounted display device, thereby reducing the number of accessories required by the head-mounted display device.
