Re: Suddenly my Bobovr M3 can't keep up with the headset drain

I've been having this problem with my BoBoVR M3 and batteries as well.

Use to work flawlessly both when using the Quest 3 and even when the Quest 3 was off, using the BoBoVR to charge the Quest 3's internal battery.
I was also getting the "Slow charge" message in the Quest 3, the way around this seems to be starting up the Quest 3 without the BoBoVR battery, once in the OS, then plug your BoBoVR battery in and then for me, it starts to work normally for that session.

If I keep the battery on when I turn the headset off, the orange charge light of the Quest 3 stays on but no longer takes a charge from the BoBoVR battery, even if I take the battery off and put it back on, looks like everything is normal, but the external battery is no longer charging the Quest 3.
For me, this started on V.77 of the firmware and is still doing this on V.78 (non PTC). I hope they get this fixed, this has worked for me flawlessly for over 2 years (got my Quest 3 upon release), and now because of firmware updates, it no longer works? 

C'mon meta, fix this please.

    Have you found a solution to this? Mine also worked perfectly until this week when update v77 was applied. In a few weeks v78 will be released but there's no mention of power improvements in the release notes.
