I’ve been looking into the differences in battery life between the old Oculus Rift controllers and the new Meta Quest 3 controllers. It seems like the Oculus Rift controllers can last around 20 hours, while the Meta Quest 3 controllers only last about 2 hours. I’m curious about what might be causing this big difference. Is it related to the types of batteries used, or could it be something else?

I’ve heard that some people keep their controllers charged throughout the day. I’m not too sure how that’s done, but it seems to help manage battery life better.
If your Quest 3 controllers are only lasting 2 hours, there’s a chance they might be defective or you’re using low-quality batteries. In general, they should last way longer than that if everything’s working properly.
Well, to clarify, the Quest 3 headset is said to last about 2-3 hours on a full charge, but the controllers can last a week or two with heavy use on a single set of AA batteries. It’s worth checking how you’re playing and how often you’re recharging.
