    as for battery level drop, again there will be monitoring in place (or should be) to ensure the cells don't go lower than a certain level where damage may occur. The user doesn't have to worry about this. Going to 0% is still well above the point where a battery might run into trouble. The only thing to be careful of is not leaving the set at 0% for months as this may see some drop over time into the danger zone. Best to always leave somewhere from a third to 2 thirds charged if not using for a long period of time

      I think you don't know what you're talking about yourself.... It's not a ev. It pushes itself right to the edge between minimal damage and substantial damage. Just like phones do. You shouldn't keep it between 20-80% and you can increase its lifespan from 2-3 years to at least double. If not used it should be kept at ~30% because then its above the recommended max discharge for optimal cycle life and just little enough to keep the reactivity relatively low in the chemistry.

    I initially bought the Elite strap for Q2 thinking I might be getting something a little bit better over the amazon models that were only about 15 dollars cheaper on average. When the first one broke, I had reason to believe my wife set something on it, though it really didn't look like it would have been enough weight to do it- but I chalked it up an accident. I was out of town, so I bought another elite strap (as it was my only option), and within a very little use, it also broke. This time, it was in a hardshell case and side piece was broke in pretty much the exact same spot. I ducted taped it this time, and it's remained like that since. Needless to say, I won't be buying any more Quest accessories, and it makes it even a bigger joke that they're trying to charge even more for their accessories with the Q3.

    as for multi cell batteries... one would need to be running a fairly cheap setup to be charging cells in series and hoping they'll stay balanced. Most things use a battery management charger with hooks into each midpoint between cells to balance them and ensure they all get to the right level.

    • @adamrak7560
      @adamrak7560 Před 5 měsíci

      the cheaper balancer (BMS) has a limited current capacity, if the difference between the cells is more than that, then it can report fully charged state, even if some cells are not charged, but that is always a bug. What should happen is slow charging, limited by the BMS current capacity, until every cell is full. For battery health and to charge all simultaneously usually the last 10%-20% always uses slow charging with less current than what the BMS can do.
      Alternatively, they can install proper BMS which has the same balancing capacity as charging capacity, instead of cheapening out (this is the recommended design after all!).

Thats a very simplified way of explaining it.

  • @Tienuyan
    @Tienuyan Před 5 měsíci +14

    About the battery thing, is quiet weird. Because the EXTRA BATTERY head straps are basically portable chargers to charge the Quest WHILE PLAYING. Is the same as playing with the charger on a wall port with the cable. I bought a Quest 3 and I am always using the extra battery instead of the Quest it self. Same as using an iPhone always plugged on my portable charger, or my Insta360 always plugged while shooting timelapses, or my LAPTOP always charging, or my DJI drone always on charging while I am wireless transferring data. Maybe those melting ports ARE FROM SHITTY third party products, but I will keep playing and leaving my Quest ALWAYS plugged while playing or not playing. I will be back if it melts.

    The elite strap doesn’t charge the headset. In fact, the elite strap is the only proper battery strap made. Since it works with the headset firmware. You can see 2 batteries in the hud. It will use the strap battery first, then it will use the headset battery when it’s out. In fact. Battery straps should never charge the headset while playing. I think eventually, 3rd party battery straps will use a similar tech that the elite strap uses.
    Also I use a 120w PD charger that defaults to 18w and never gets hot.
    And if you use a thunderbolt 4 port while pcvr it will charge and play at the same time no issues.

    My alltime favorite "elite strap with battery" are the ones sold on unboundxr. The one for the quest three for instance has a wide strap on top of your head with a slightly wider pad in the middle, to use for headphones/headsets. imo it does a way better job than the actual elite strap by meta, because neither the one of my quest two nor quest three have broken thusfar, whereas the ones from Meta did. 😅

    Okay, this is a great video and you should follow these tips, they will greatly increase the life time/playability of the quest 3. Other things I would recommend would be to not drop this, it's likely it will damage it. Also with hand straps, they are great and I would recommend you get one, they are awesome and add to the immersion when you get used to them, but I would stay away from anything that encases it, this causes sweat to build up and stay making the controllers dirty, and with me made the trigger stick

  • @tattoodude8946
    @tattoodude8946 Před 5 měsíci +1

    I foolishly bought the elite strap when I bought my Quest 3 a week ago. It's ok and functional. I do find it comfortable but definitely could be better for the money. I did buy a third-party link cable and external battery (the PrismXR Carina W1 belt is AWESOME! - can't recommend it enough) so I dodged those bullets anyway. All in all, I'm not disappointed with the Elite Strap, but I do wish I had looked around a bit more. I have a thin face and will probably get something with front/forehead support as the headset tends to slide down my face, losing the sweet spot unless I really crank down the tightness, which does make it less than comfortable unless I have it absolutely perfect. Anyway, that's my story - not sure why I felt compelled to tell it though! 🤣

    I have a third party headstrap with a battery, can't remember the name of it, but it's black and has stupidly bright LEDs on it.
    Only cost like £50 or so, lasts a few hours which is fine, lasts about as long as I expected. It has some padding and is fairly comfortable.
    Also grabbed some controller covers that strap around your hand, a headset cover and a better face cover, colour scheme for the headset is black, with the face cover being red, looks great.

  • @royevans4581
    @royevans4581 Před 3 měsíci

    That melting port issue is most likely caused by rough handling of the cable into the port making the contacts loose. This reduces the cross section of the connector meaning current will try to flow through less material causing heat to build up in the connector due to higher resistance. Similar thing happened with the 4090 GPU's, because the connectors on those were being pulled to one side due to the way the cables went into the cards. Make sure your usb connector is nice and firm in the socket, if not, it needs to be replaced.

    0:17 okay that's some misinfo there. I only use my Quest 2 cable and brick because I'm paranoid, but using a higher wattage charging brick will not damage a device like that. It only takes the current it needs. Improper voltage matching can cause it, but that's unlikely. It's proper debris or damage to the port.

    I work within battery technology and you're "half right" in regards to Lithium Batteries, (Li-On, Li-Po, NimH) batteries once fully charged will not continue to charge and would not continually diminish the batteries capacity. It is only the depletion of a battery over many cycles that would cause this. The Quest 1, 2 and 3 all had "Smart Charge" which prevent over charging or constant yo-yo charging from AC-in/DC-out currents. The single most important thing is to ensure is the charging block is correct. The amps are far more important here than the wattage and it's typically over-ampage that would damage your unit, whereas over-wattage will just cripple your battery. As you rightfully said, use stock cables/charge block unless you know what you're doing.

    my face gasket mechanism on the left side was broken out of the box but i SOMEHOW managed to fix it by trying to push on the inside and outside around the button incase something clipped in while i was going that and also jiggled it around and pushed in the button over and over again and eventually something clicked in and it worked just fine.. bit funky but at least it aint broken.

    Guys for my quest 2 I have the elite strap with battery should I plug in the battery when my quest is on 100 or when it's low if I plug it in when it's low it someo still drains the battery but I'm guessing if I plug it in when on 100 it would last longer?

  • @DelDredd

    Using a higher wattage charger should not cause any issues unless the device ie Quest 3 in this case has poorly designed circuitry. The Quest 3 is obviously not limiting its charging current as it should do. You can not force more current into a device than it can handle if it has been designed correctly and is using correctly specified components.
    Or maybe the connectors they are using are cheap shit with poor fit or higher than usual resistance thereby generating heat with the current flow, must be severe to melt plastic.
    Once charged ie green light the headset should not be drawing current so should not heat up the connector, if it is, that is another bad design.
    As an aside i think the Quest will be using a single cell lithium battery hence charging at 5V, so no balance issues and they do not get memory unlike the old Nicads.

    Help me please. when I press cast on my Meta quest app it doesn’t seem to indicate a casting option even though I have the same WiFi and even if I restart it does not work, when I try to cast to my phone using the Oculus Quest 2 it only gives me a message saying to go to the app and cast there even though(as I previously described)it won’t work, in previous versions/updates whenever I press cast on my oculus quest 2 in sends a notification to my iPhone and it easily lets me cast on my phone but now on update Version 60 it doesn’t give me any notifications and just says to go to the app and cast it there even though I can’t.

    Guys! I need help with my quest 2 left controller, It is flashing SOS In Morse code, which Is strange as I never damaged the controller or anything, just casually playing. I replaced and repaired the controller but It wouldn't work (Factory reset too, But because of the F.R I'm now stuck there) The only thing I noticed it doesn't show the firmware version on the oculus phone app, the other controller does show it. I hope someone can response to the comment and help me out here.

    i have been charging my quest 3 with My 160wattage charger since i got it at release. no problem what so ever.. it has nothing to do with the charger. you need to understand that a charger do not push electricity. the device Pulls the Amount of electricity that is needs. so if you have a melted charger its a fault on the headset and then its 100% covered by warranty! al tho i dont see this happen because the headset is limited at 9V 2A Witch translate to 9x2 = 18Watt.

    I bought an elite headstrap with a battery for around $50 usd on amazon (transnovo is the seller name) and it absolutely changed how I play on the quest 3. Before I got the new headstrap, due to my rampant sinus issues, my entire head would hurt within 20 minutes and it was so bad I just didn't and couldn't feel like I was immersed or having fun. Now I can play for about 2 hours pain free. However, I have pretty bad vision and wearing glasses in the headset is also painful, so prescription lenses are also a wonderful idea because not only do they help you see the amazing clarity the Q3 has to offer, they are easier to replace if you scratch them, and they protect the original lenses.

    Does keeping the headset in charge during a gaming session cause any damage to the charging port?
