    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.
      Fiy it's a lion polymer battery.

    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 5 місяців тому

      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.

    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.

I used the stock charger until I got the head-strap (It has two switchout batteries so you can charge both the battery and the headset at the same time) but now I guess I should switch back to using the stock one?

  • @StormTrooperEVOX

    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. 😅

    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! 🤣

  • @royevans4581
    @royevans4581 3 місяці тому

    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.

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

    @ksptm4 5 місяців тому +1

    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.

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.

    Charging my quest two still scares me. I have trained my daughter to make sure it's on a hard surface and not to charge while we aren't home. I am legitimately no worried it will burst into flames one day.

    Does keeping the headset in charge during a gaming session cause any damage to the charging port? I know the quest 3 struggles with power and since buying a headstrap with a battery is kinda expensive for my current situation, I thought that maybe the best solution was keeping the headset on charge while using it

      Nope. Quest 3 limits the wattage while its in use to prevent overheating or damage.

      @@jazzycap I've tried to look online on Amazon for the quest 3 version of that, but sadly it's not out yet, so I had to put another one on wishlist, the thing is no external battery for that, I should buy the kiwi battery apart and since for now I'm just planning how to handle the quest 3 battery life, before actually getting to try it, I don't wanna spend too much rn, I just wanna get the headset and the straps fir head and controller for a more enjoyable experience

    I usually charge my quest 3 until the LED light turns Green (which means it’s 100%) and use it until 20% to keep the battery healthy.

    the battery in the strap works just not how you would think it gives you a longer battery life ex: when you run out of storage on a computer you just buy external storage and boom you have storage the battery pack has the same idea it doesnt charge it, it gives it a second battery and has a battery level its self.

    As a long time glasses wear and brand new headset owner I treat this thing with the utmost care. Yea I wipe my glasses with my shirt, but my glasses didn’t cost $500.. I bought a case for it and when I’m not playing or charging it.. instantly in the case. Bought a 3rd party strap with a battery so I don’t have to worry about charging the actual headset as much. Funny how they had this super comfy one (without a battery) for just $17… Like it’s a delicate piece of tech with lenses and screens. Yes im gonna treat it as such

    doesn't matter if you leave it plugged in after it's fully charged. The headset doesn't draw anything from the charger once the led turns green to indicate it's full.

  • @DelDredd
    @DelDredd 5 місяців тому +2

    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.

    Use Polywatch plastic polish paste if you get your lenses scratched.
    Takes off very little material, but can't use it infinite times!
    ONLY USE WHEN THE SCRATCHES ARE REALLY BAD!
    ONLY HAND POLISH, DO NOT
    USE DEVICES LIKE A DREMEL!
    POLISH WITH POLISHING MICROFIBRE FABRIC! (Get the paste that comes with cloth)

      @aidenwright6750 5 місяців тому +1

      It will probably be fine, just don't over do it. But if you are really worried, just put a timer on yourself on how long to play it. Gives you and the headset time to cool off and makes your experience better. Sore muscles suck, I would know with how much I played on the quest 2

  • @Factsfun-kg4xc

    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.
