Hey everyone!
I just recently got a Meta Quest 2 and have been playing SteamVR games via Airlink. It seems to work great despite the occasional lag spikes every now & then however it drains the battery like hell! After about an hour of playing the headset's battery drops to about 40-50% so I bought the Kiwi Design head strap with battery.
Now, it was my understanding that the built-in battery was supposed to keep the headset charged during gaming and give you "up to 2.5 hours of extra battery life" as advertised.
So why does the stupid thing just all of a sudden stop charging??
I'll plug in the cable from the head strap, the 4 little LEDs on the back light up - good. I turn on the head set, the dashboard comes up. The little battery indicator on the dashboard shows a lightning bolt, indicating that it's charging - cool...I open Airlink, launch SteamVR, everything seems fine, but then when I remove the headset the 4 LED lights are off and it seems like the head strap is no longer charging the headset. If I unplug it and plug it back in it seems to work, but then after a while it stops keeping it charged again.
Last night I was playing Sniper Elite VR and in the SteamVR dashboard it showed that my headset's battery was at around 75% before I quit playing but then when I closed Airlink and went back into the Meta dashboard thing, it showed that I only had 55% battery left and it wasn't charging. What gives?!
Does anyone else have this problem?? I thought it was supposed to keep the headset charged. Is it just an issue with SteamVR or Airlink? I don't get it. What also adds insult to injury is the only response by Kiwi Design is to "MaKe SuRe ThE cAbLe Is FuLlY pLuGgEd iN"
IT IS!!
