But wouldn't charging while playing make it overheat and damage the internal battery ?

What's a good battery pack to achieve this?I've found with my Go it's best to use the external battery pack with a fully charged Go. That way it is only using enough power to run it, rather than run it and catch up on charging it. If I use this pack with a discharged Go (esp. anything below ~70%) it can overheat. I imagine this will be the same as with the Quest.
I'm using a 20000mAH iMuto battery pack and it works very well. Still fits ok in my front shirt pocket.

Oculus says you can plug into an outlet while playing. That means a battery pack is good without it having to drain 1st.

That's old fashion advice based on NiCad and nimh batteries that were subject to memory issues. I know this since I've been flying Radio Controlled planes and heli's for +20 years.

I wouldn't recommend fully charging an Oculus Quest and then plugging in an external battery pack. The way to preserve your battery is to allow the battery to drain to 50% and then add the battery pack. Once it reaches 100% you then unplug the battery pack and allow it to drain to 50% again. Then every so often (maybe once a month) let it drain to 10% before adding the external battery pack. I asked a mate about this who's hobby is flying remote control planes.
You just need to make sure the battery pack will slowly charge while you are using the Oculus Quest, that's if Oculus has said it's OK to use an external battery.
Not sure who's right about this though because I don't know much about batteries myself. You might want to contact Oculus Support if they are saying it's OK to use a battery pack.

@TomCgcmfcSays in this and a few YouTube videos not to have your mobile phone batteries kept at 100% charge.
