Diving into the world of virtual reality with the Meta Quest™ 3 can be thrilling, but nothing pulls you out of an immersive experience faster than a low battery notification.
Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered.
At uBreakiFix® by Asurion, we understand the importance of maximizing your device’s battery life so you can play longer without having to worry about a charger. Here’s a detailed guide on how to extend your Meta Quest headset’s battery life.
Adjust the brightness settings
Struggling with the battery life on your Meta Quest 3 (formally known as the Oculus)? Start with lowering the screen brightness on your headset. It can significantly save battery life without greatly impacting your VR experience.
- Press the Home button on your right controller to bring up the universal menu.
- Select Settings > Device.
- Adjust the Brightness slider to a lower setting that remains comfortable.
Manage wireless connections wisely
Turning off unnecessary wireless connections can prevent your Meta Quest 3 from using up battery power on background activities. Here’s how you can manage those wireless connections:
- Press the Home button on your right controller to bring up the universal menu.
- Select Settings.
- Tap on Wi-Fi and turn it off when not needed. Similarly, disable Bluetooth if you are not using any Bluetooth devices.
Optimize play conditions
Optimizing your play environment, aka play conditions, not only enhances your VR experience but also conserves battery life by improving your device's efficiency. Factors like ambient lighting, play space size, and temperature can impact your gameplay and battery use. For optimal performance, play in a well-lit area, maintain a clear play space to minimize unnecessary tracking movements, and avoid extreme temperatures that can deplete battery life quickly.
Utilize Battery Saver mode
Engaging Battery Saver mode on your Meta Quest 3 can extend your battery life by reducing the processing power for less demanding applications.
- Press the Home button on your right controller to bring up the universal menu.
- Select Settings.
- Navigate to Device > Power. Then, turn the Power Saving Mode on.
Regular software updates
Keeping your Meta Quest 3 updated ensures that you benefit from the latest power management enhancements and bug fixes that can improve battery performance. Follow these steps to update your headset’s software:
- Press the Home button on your right controller to bring up the universal menu.
