My extended battery is not being connected.

I've downloaded the VR game VR parkour with legs and ever since I've downloaded it the extended battery wouldn't be detected. When I turn on my headset with it attached it does say how mush it is charged but the headset never shows that it's connected and I'm having trouble figuring it out. 

 

Please help, Cappo

Hi there, 

 

We know how much fun can come from a longer gaming session and we would love to look into why your extended battery isn't connecting. 

 

In order to make sure we are able to give you the best support possible, please reach out to our dedicated support team, they will work with you to gather information and help you do some in depth troubleshooting. In order to get in touch, select our name to get to our profile page. Next, click "Send a Message".  Please remember, you must be signed into the community first to send us a private message.

 

We want to get this fixed as quickly as possible so in the meantime, please try the following general troubleshooting steps:

 

1. Check for Software Updates:

  • Ensure your Meta Quest 3 headset has the latest software version. Software updates can often resolve compatibility issues. 

2. Basic Troubleshooting:

  • Unplug and replug: Disconnect the Elite Strap from the headset and reattach it.
  • Reset the strap: If there's an error, try holding down the button on the back of the strap for more than 12 seconds while it's not attached to the headset. 

 If those steps are unable to get your issue resolved, we look forward to hearing from you soon!

The battery indicator on the top left quick menu only shows an external battery being connected if you have the meta Q3 Elite battery strap.  Otherwise, with an external battery connected you'll probably see the headset battery icon with a charging icon.

I have yet to see a charge icon but I'm to see if I just need to update the software.

I have tried these solutions it's being detected but the charging icon is not appearing next to the battery. 

@Caposun1 the Parkour meta-link app only has rift compatibility and currently seems to be discontinued.

So maybe this is what's causing your issue.
