Meta Quest 3 Charging Dock is only compatible with Meta Quest 3.
The Meta Quest 3 Charging Dock is a convenient and complete charging solution for your Meta Quest 3 and controllers. The Charging Dock includes two rechargeable batteries for your Touch Plus controllers, so your devices can be charged up and ready for you whenever you want to jump into your headset. The Meta Quest 3 Charging Dock is available in the Meta Store and select retailers.
The Meta Quest 3 Charging Dock comes with:
- Two rechargeable batteries for your Touch Plus controllers
- Charging dock
- Charging cable
Note: A power adapter is not included. The Meta Quest 3 Charging Dock is compatible with Meta branded (18W and 45W) and 18W+ USB PD (Power Delivery) compliant adapters. The charging dock does not work with proprietary adapters or non USB PD compliant products.
Install the rechargeable batteries in your Touch Plus controllers
- Start by removing the battery cover on your right Touch Plus controller. The right controller has the
Meta button.
- Press the battery cover release button and carefully remove the battery cover.
- Remove the existing battery from your controller.
- Identify the right rechargeable battery. The right rechargeable battery has a "R" on the outward-facing side.
- Install the right rechargeable battery by sliding it into place in the controller with the "-" towards the top, making sure there is no gap between the battery and controller, then replace the battery cover.
- Repeat this process to install the rechargeable battery for the left Touch Plus controller.
Note: Rechargeable batteries will need to be charged before use.
Set up your charging dock
- Plug one end of the included charging cable into the dock.
- Plug the other end of the charging cable into the 18W power adapter that came with your Meta Quest 3 headset (45W adapter recommended for fastest charging).
- Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
How to charge your headset and controllers
To charge your devices using the Charging Dock:
- Set your controllers on the charging dock on their sides with the grip button facing upward.
- Set your headset on the charging dock with the front of the headset facing toward you.
- Ensure controller straps and headset straps aren’t preventing controllers and headset from charging. You’ll know your devices are charging when the Charging Dock LEDs turn orange.
- The LEDs will turn green when your devices are fully charged.

Troubleshooting
If you are having issues charging your headset and controllers with the Charging Dock:
- If the dock LED is flashing amber and green under the controller, it’s indicating an error state. For example, an AA battery is put in the controller, or the controller is not sitting correctly on the dock.
- If the battery is not supplying power to the controller, open the battery door to make sure it is installed correctly, pushed all the way in and aligned properly without any gap or rotation.
- If removing and re-inserting the battery still does not supply power to the controller, inspect the pogo pins on the battery and the 3 contact pads inside the controller to make sure the pins are not stuck or pads dirty. If the disconnection persists please contact customer support for assistance.
- Please carry your headset and controllers with rechargeable batteries securely inside a case. Tumbling and hitting controllers may cause batteries to disengage inside controllers.
- Please ensure you are using a Meta branded power adapter(18W and 45W) or a 18W+ USB PD (Power Delivery) compliant adapter. The charging dock does not work with proprietary adapters or non USB PD compliant products.
- If you're using unsupported third-party headset or controller accessories, such as replacement facial interfaces, head straps, controller sleeves, covers, or stickers, you may experience issues with using the Charging Dock. If this happens, we recommend removing the unsupported accessory to see if that resolves the issue.
- Ensure your headset's facial interface is properly installed. There shouldn’t be a gap at the bottom of the headset. If the nose bridge isn't fully inserted into the headset, it will interfere with charging.
