Battery won’t connect

The first few days they thing worked great, after an update the battery pack would only stay connected to the headset for about 5 secs honestly a waste of money

Too buggy to recommend

Discharges when off, doesn't always charge the Quest when on, doesn't show up in the UI sometimes, battery life isn't great. Hopefully a firmware update fixes it. It was obviously released without proper testing.

Love/Hate Relationship
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: Meredith

I have a love/hate relationship with my Elite Strap with Battery. So far this strap hasn't broken and it does appear to be somewhat thicker than the Quest 2 strap, so for that reason I think it was actually a good move to create a new strap rather than have the Quest 2 strap fit on the Quest 3 (I will eat my words, however, if this strap breaks). On my old Quest 2 I originally had an Elite Strap without battery since I was using a VR Power bank and found the strap to be extremely comfortable. Then everyone's straps started breaking so I sold my Elite Strap for what I could before going route of the Frankenquest 2. Then I sold my old setup to a friend and bought the Quest 3, this time with the Elite Strap with Battery. I am one of those people who actually likes the soft strap this time around (I know, I know, but I have a really small head)...HOWEVER, once I swapped it out for the Elite Strap with Battery (the Quest battery on its own will barely get you through a short movie, so you MUST have an additional battery option), I couldn't get the Elite Strap off. It was very easy to put on and adjust, but there should be an equally easy way of popping it off so you could in theory go back/forth between it and Meta's own soft strap when e.g. watching movies. The Elite Strap WILL suck up all of the battery power from the headset if it remains plugged in after you have charged the headset and battery strap. So although the battery strap must be plugged into the headset while charging, you must unplug it just after if you aren't planning on playing right away in order for the headset AND battery strap to keep their charge. I also recommend fully powering down the headset when not in use (at least at night). I also found that although the Elite battery strap alone is quite comfortable, I still needed additional battery for longer play sessions...if only the battery was hot swapable like some 3rd party options...but since its not and because I don't like wearing batteries on my head, I bought the second gen VR Power (I had the first gen, but modified it to fit my old Frankenquest and sold to my friend) and attached it to the back of a vest meant to hold OG battery banks when playing VR. It then plugs into the back of the Elite battery strap and that solution gives me more than enough playing time :)

Comfort strap with battery should come with the Q3
on November 6, 2023
Posted by: Josh

The Quest 3's original strap is super uncomfortable. The Quest 3's battery only last an hour to 1.25hrs. This accessory strap is a must have as it's much more comfortable and extends the battery life to 2 hours. It should have come with the Quest 3 by default especially for the large price the Quest 3 costs. This accessory and battery strap costs too much as well. I still run a 3rd battery in my pocket and plug it into the unit in addition to this strap+battery that way I can play for more than 2 hours in an evening.

Best accessory
on November 6, 2023

For me, this is the most needed accessory for any Quest. It at least doubles the headset usage time and provides a counter-balance for the quest so it feels more comfortable.
