My question is on the subject, i bought the headset recently and approx. i play it for 2 hours and i have to charge it. Is it ok for me to drain the battery 2 times and charge it 3 times a day? Will it affect my battery life?
Thanks in advance.

Batteries have a certain number of charge cycles available to them before their capacity starts to wane, but it's pretty decent so it wouldn't be worth you limiting your play time for some possible future benefit. Consumer electronics doesn't have all that great a working life before it becomes redundant anyway.
Just make sure you get outside and enjoy some real life while the headset is charging 😉

Hey there @spidermonster123! Thanks for your question!
Like all lithium ion batteries, Meta batteries age and lose capacity over time and with usage. For good battery lifetime capacity, we recommend using your device until the battery level is below 50% before recharging. If you need to store your device for a long time without use, we recommend leaving the battery charged to about 50% and keeping the device at room temperature. Avoid storing your device in hot or cold environments.
When charging your Meta Quest headset, use the charger that was included in the box. While you may be able to charge your headset’s battery with chargers from other devices, your headset and its included charger were designed and tested to work optimally together and to maximize the performance of your headset.
If you’re having trouble getting your charger to fit correctly in a wall outlet, you may need to adjust the position of the grounding pin. Keep the magnetic pins clean, the magnetic pins on the charging dock must be dry to avoid damage to the headset, controllers and charging dock. Use a dry cloth to wipe away any moisture on the magnetic pins.
Overall the battery life will be reduced as you continue to use it due to normal wear and tear but do not let this fear stop you from enjoying your headset, this is a normal process and will happen to everyone. We hope this cleared up some confusion for you, please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns! We hope you're having a great day!
