Regarding charging.

I bought a strap with batteries, but it only lasts 4 hours.

So I'm thinking of buying the official Meta Quest Link cable, but is it possible to not only link it, but also plug it into an outlet and play while charging?

I used Google Translate, so I'm sorry if my English is bad.

@TIHATAN2  depending on the spec of the PC/laptop that you are connecting to, it may have enough power delivery to keep your headset charged. 

You could also use a data cable where you can plug in a power adaptor to provide extra power.

Easiest solution for me is to use an external 10000mahr +21w battery pack with a short 1m battery cable.  Connect this to the Q3’s/Q3 battery strap charge port for about an extra +3hrs runtime.  You can also keep hot swapping if you have an extra external battery pack(s).
