2.5hr 100% charge only gets me 2-3hr playtime (Quest 2)

I recently obtained an Oculus Quest 2 (says Oculus, not the meta logo) from a family member that thought it didn't work anymore cause batteries weren't charging anymore in the controllers. I took it off their hands and put in fresh batteries. Controller batteries at 100%, VR Headset at 100% after charging for 2.5hrs and it gives me 2-3hr playtime when I've researched and said it should last for 10hrs playtime in certain circumstances. I don't have a set game right now but it's just been Meta Horizon stuff and VRChat. 

My question/problem being; how can I get more playtime without adjusting settings? I'm using my phones wall charger with a usb a to usb c cable as the anker dock and usb to usb c pc charging seems to go very fast in like 30-45mins but when I turn on the headset, it doesn't stay on for even a second after booting up. I could keep it plugged in sure, however it'll still discharge faster when I'm using it which sure is probably normal. I'm new to VR, I should've led with that.

TL;DR - much shorter playtime than advertised, how to enhance playtime? Newbie to VR, quick learner.

Hi @PiscesGamer97 🙂

I don't know where in the "world-wonder web" you found that the Quest 2 has a battery life of 10 hours.
2-3 hours is absolutely normal.

You can extend the time with headbands with external battery.
Unfortunately, the Meta Elite headband with battery is out of stock.

MR and VR accessories for Meta Quest 

Just search for third-party Quest 2 accessories on Amazon
