If you need to know how to charge your Oculus Quest 2, then you're in the right place. Charging it of course means you'll be able to keep using it, and not worry too much about the battery dying when you're mid-game.

Handily though, the Anker Charging Dock for the Quest 2 can also charge the controllers thanks to its own rechargeable cells that can be placed into the controllers to power them and then charge them up alongside the headset via one USB-C cable from the dock into the wall.

To charge the controllers, you'll need to invest in some rechargeable AA batteries and an associated charger to keep them topped up.

The Oculus Quest 2 should take around 2.5 hours to reach capacity, which will give you between 2 and 3 hours of playtime. It's usually more towards 2 hours for gaming and 3 hours if you're viewing any media.

If you have invested in some rechargaeable AA batteries for your Touch controllers, then the charge time depends on how quickly your battery charger charges them up. For battery life though, the controllers should last for a couple of months or so before the AAs need replacing.
