battery - Quest 2 replacement

[missourinow123]

what size battery does the meta quest 2 headset take and can one be put in?

This is the Quest 2 battery.

I see some are being sold on ebay.

You'll need to disassemble pretty much the entire headset to get to it, its under all the major stuff (mainboard, fan, etc). https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Oculus+Quest+2+Disassembly/139759

Friendly reminder that removing or replacing any components will void your warranty. Like @kojack mentioned, there are definitely options for DIY battery replacement if you're not worried about the warranty though! I always recommend reaching out to @MetaQuestSupport first, so they can look into your options just in case. There are also good strap options that have an external battery, if you're looking for a little extra play time.

no, the battery is internal and cant be replaced.

Watched this a few weeks ago.  Looks like a very tricky (and tedious) job.

Wooooow I watched the video and it definitely looks like a lot of work. I'm not tech savvy enough for all that haha, I'll just stick with my battery strap! 😅

Agreed.  It's the kind of thing you would do only out of curiosity.  And you have patience.
