Saqico Battery Pack for Oculus Quest 2, 5000mAh Head Strap Battery Pack Compatible with Oculus/Meta Quest 2 Lightweight and Portable VR Extend Power Accessories for Extra 2-4H Playtime

The media could not be loaded. An RGB battery bank?! What kind of life are you going to get out of a colorful device that drains its own battery trying to be cute? First off, you can turn the RGB off, if you don’t want it. It’s not like you can see it anyway, it’s just there so people point and go, oooo, ahhhhh. Anyway, enough of the colors, let’s get down to business. You’re here to find out if these work. Maybe you found a great activity in VR and you just can’t get enough. However, the battery life for Quest 2 isn’t the best and you’re skeptical. I get it, so was I. I thought these would be heavy, hurt my neck and for what? Nothing? Well, here’s my TED talk to help you arrive at a decision.When I first tried this bank, I didn’t notice much of a change. Maybe an hour extra game time at most. I was let down and couldn’t find anything in the reviews to help me understand how to get more out of them. So I began to dig into Reddit and YouTube, where I watched multiple videos on how to get the most out of your quest battery and changed a multitude of settings. From vibration to boundaries and sounds to permissions. So if you’re experiencing issues like me, make sure you look into what could be the root of the problem.Time to dive in: I loaded into Zenith at 14:00 and didn’t notice that the bank was no longer working until 16:30. I continued to play until 18:00 before I needed to go on a walk and recharge myself. The battery at that time was at 28%. I was extremely happy with the results. I absolutely love immersing myself and just being able to go at it. After my walk, I wanted to make sure that this was consistent. After all, some games take more of a toll than others.At 23:00, after eating, hydrating and napping, my battery and banks were fully charged. I loaded into Demeo because I noticed the substantial impact it had on battery life, I could literally watch the bar drop as I made my moves. (Tip: You can hide the basement in Demeo which helps save on battery life.) Anyway, I started at 23:00 and I was pumped. Normally I can only make it through a single area, if that before I’m getting a battery notification. Not this morning! I was so into maneuvering my group through the dungeon that I didn’t even realize it was 03:00! I checked on the battery and it was at 27%. A solid 4 hours of gameplay, which is phenomenal. I could’ve probably gone for a while longer and that’s only with one battery bank. I have yet to go bank to bank to battery to see just how long I can go before hitting 10% but that’s coming soon!DISCLAIMER: I highly recommend not playing the amount of time I have in one sitting. I’m only testing and this is in no way normal for me. I am making sure that if I have people over for a game night, we won’t have to worry about the headset dying on us a couple hours in and then having to wait for it to charge. Also, if I want to immerse, I can without the fear of getting kicked off once it starts getting good. I highly encourage the use of a camelback for an easy way to stay hydrated while playing. I don’t care what kind of headset you have, it’s hard to drink with it on and even more of a pain to grab a bottle or cup with controllers attached to your hands. Invest in a good headset, they make all the difference but do remember, prolonged gameplay will cause eye strain which leads to some gnarly headaches. So stay hydrated and enjoy your Quest experience how you want to with the knowledge that you have tons of time in whatever world you wish, thanks to the Saqico Battery Pack.

Working great! Plugs right in and expanded playing time considerably. It’s nice and small doesn’t weigh much don’t really notice it’s there. So far it’s held up great and really improved battery life. For the price I paid I’m very happy!

I’m going to be honest with you, I would give this a 5 star if they would have lasted just a little bit longer.I have loved these battery packs and for the price, definitely worth it rather than being hooked to a cord. They stay in well at the beginning, along with have EXCELLENT battery life. They kept my headset charged for like 3 hours before having to switch them out. CRAZY.Slowly over time, the battery packs started to loosen inside the headset whenever I plugged them in. They literally are a simple plug in on the side of the headset where you charge it. But, after they started to loosen, they would fall out at times and whatnot, but the charger itself would stay in.There was also the fact that they don’t charge anymore when I put them on the charger. One of them, the little charging thing on the inside went INTO the battery pack and wasn’t seated in the pack anymore. So I had to throw that one out.I still have one of them, but I have to do the one maneuver where I have to wrap the cord I charge it with around the battery pack like, 5 times to keep it charging. And it takes FOREVER to charge now.I would say, all together this item is good at first, but over time, like most things, it wears out.

So far it works great. It lasts just about as long as the standard battery life of the headset, but I found it doesn't take quite as long to charge. It fits great and doesn't feel like it's going to fall off, and while you can definitely feel the weight of it, it's not so annoying so long as the headset is firm in place on your head.

This has been a game changer! This little guy has added about 4 hours of play time to my son's VR secondary to the amazing battery life! It is a perfect fit and is so easy to install and remove. I have been very impressed with the quality especially for the price!

Wow this is a great charger! It really charges my phone when I need it. So sleek.

If I had known I was buying a potential fire hazard, I would have saved my money and my skin—literally. This Saqico battery pack for the Oculus Quest 2 isn’t just bad, it’s downright dangerous.First off, let’s talk about the heat. Within minutes of use, this thing gets alarmingly hot—and I don’t mean just “a little warm.” I mean hot enough to burn my skin. If a battery pack is literally painful to touch, something is very, very wrong. I don’t care how much power it claims to have; no accessory should feel like it’s about to melt through the back of my head.And considering how hot it gets, I can’t shake the worry that it might just explode one day. If it’s reaching these temperatures after minimal use, what happens if I actually try to run a long gaming session? I’m not about to find out, because I’d rather not risk a VR headset turning into a live grenade.To be fair, it’s not super heavy, which is probably the only reason I even gave it a chance in the first place. But what’s the point of a lightweight battery pack if it’s a ticking time bomb strapped to my head?Bottom line: this thing is a massive safety concern. A battery that gets this hot is poorly designed at best, outright dangerous at worst. I refuse to risk my safety over a cheap power pack when there are far better options out there. Avoid this like your life depends on it—because it just might.Final Verdict: If you enjoy the thrill of possibly catching fire while playing VR, go ahead. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and throw this potential explosion-in-waiting straight in the trash.

Works great. Now the kid doesn't whine about the dead battery or charge time.
