Mr_sukebe Posted August 29, 2024 Posted August 29, 2024 I've had a QP for nearly a couple of years now. I've recently updated my PC base unit and the new motherboard has a USB-C connection. As you do, I tried hanging the QP off the USB-C for Link purposes. Sure enough, no drops, but after 3 hours, the battery was basically flat. As it happens, I had an Anker 60w powered USB3 hub to hand. Plugged that in and went for another muck about. 3-4 hours later and still has a 70% charge. Also no issues with the data connection. Guess that answers my question about the best method for me to link my QP. Thought that I'd mention it just in case anyone else was wondering about how best to keep a Quest charged. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

I hadn't thought about enabling it in BIOS. Doh! For all that I like the idea of have the power draw being catered for by an alternative unit to my PC motherboard. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

My QP, after 2h of flying still shows 88-92% so no any issue.

Not tried it, as the hub does a great job. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
