@MoonyToons Unfortunately I don’t think you would be able to charge it and come back in the middle of a run. According to the rules in every category the run has to be completed in a single segment.

Battery life is probably the biggest downside to speedrunning this game. Generally I’ll start a run with a full battery and by the end of the run (especially when recording) I’m usually around 10% battery life. But I usually do a fair bit of resetting the game. So give or take you’ll probably get a little less than 3 hours of use which isn’t a lot of time.

I would recommend doing your practice on a separate charge and then when you’re ready to put actual attempts in, I’d go ahead and charge it up again. Generally the Quest 2 doesn’t take very long to charge.

The only other solution and one that I’ve been thinking more and more about would be getting battery pack from the Meta Quest 2 Accessories store. It advertises that it will double your battery life, so 3 hours would turn into 6 hours of life. Something to think about. Unfortunately there’s no easy solution to this as of right now though

@MoonyToons i recommend buying a 5000+ mAh power bank which should add some battery life. I have some Velcro tape on my power bank and it sits nicely on the Velcro headstrap. There is also a headstrap you can order on Amazon that has a built in power bank.
