While charging controllers for the Quest 3 is a very similar process compared to previous versions, there are some minor differences.

If you decide to go the rechargeable battery route, it's worth considering getting two sets of batteries (eight in total). That way you can use one set while the other one charges, then switch and recharge in order to keep playing.

If you own something like the Meta Quest 3 or any of the previous Quest models, or any other VR headset for that matter, really, you're inevitably going to run out of juice at some point. The controllers in particular will as they're not normally rechargeable.

The view sweeps over a part of the adventure playpark up to the Taser Alm cable car and on to the bottom of the Meran valley and the peaks on the other side.

When it comes to at-home VR, we're somewhat spoiled for choice these days — both in terms of headsets and the games themselves. This steady rise in consumer-level virtual reality has, of course, led to numerous improvements across both the hardware and software, including the development of simpler ways for you to keep everything charged.

Once your Quest controllers run down — and they will at some point — you can simply swap the current sets of AA batteries with new ones and get back to your games. It's also possible to set your controllers up for recharging (rather than battery replacement), but that will require an additional purchase or two since the Quest doesn't typically include this feature out-of-box.

All of the Quest controllers released thus far use standard AA batteries by default, so all you need to do is swap them out. However, both the Quest 2 and 3 also have official charging docks you can purchase separately.

When you see an orange LED light on the front of the dock, you know your controllers and headset are charging. The LED will change to green when all three devices have been fully charged.
