Maximize the battery life of your Meta Quest headset

Try these tips to maximize battery life and keep your devices charged so that Meta Quest is ready when you are.

Keep software updated

Always make sure that your device is using the latest version of software. When there is a new software release, your Meta Quest headset will update automatically when connected to Wi-Fi and turned on. You can also manually check for updates in Settings.

Maximize battery life

Like all lithium ion batteries, Meta batteries age and lose capacity over time and with usage. For good battery lifetime capacity, we recommend using your device until the battery level is below 50% before recharging. If you need to store your device for a long time without use, we recommend leaving the battery charged to about 50% and keeping the device at room temperature. Avoid storing your device in hot or cold environments.

Use the provided charger

When charging your Meta Quest headset, use the charger that was included in the box. While you may be able to charge your headset’s battery with chargers from other devices, your headset and its included charger were designed and tested to work optimally together and to maximize the performance of your headset.

If you’re having trouble getting your charger to fit correctly in a wall outlet, you may need to adjust the position of the grounding pin.

Keep the magnetic pins clean

The magnetic pins on the charging dock must be dry to avoid damage to the headset, controllers and charging dock. Use a dry cloth to wipe away any moisture on the magnetic pins.
