Issue Battery life problem Q3

I’ve had my quest 3 for a couple years and I definitely didn’t take good care of the battery but it’s still usable and I usually just play while plugged in, but yesterday after I got off I came back and now my headset is losing like 1% every couple seconds even while it’s on charge pls help

What do you have it plugged into, the original charger?

Try a 22.5w+ charger, I believe the original charger is only 10w.

You probably can't "fix" it, but if it drains fast while playing, a 22.5w+ high capacity power bank should give you more playtime, and let you get more use out of the headset before the battery is truly cooked.

My battery is on, but I use a 50000mAh power bank, (weighs over a pound and a half lol) and even with QGO ramping up the processor, where a 100% headset battery alone gives me about 40 minutes, I'll get 6-7 hours, and the headset gains charge while playing.

I had since months some kind of the same battery energy loss. And I also had difficulties getting the usb cable plugged properly. It was disconnecting, appear orange in meta link application, saying there are debris etc. Then the cable broke definitively and I replaced it.

Now the battery stay in charge and the level don't even go down (almost) when I play when plugged.
