Is it possible to extend the battery life of the Pico G3?
Optimizing the Pico G3‘s battery life is essential to maximize usage time between charges, especially during events, training, or intensive use. Here are the solutions and best practices to extend the battery.
1. Use an external battery
The Pico G3 can be connected to an external power bank:
- Connect a USB-C compatible power bank to the headset while in use.
- Ensure the power bank provides sufficient output to power a VR device (at least 5V/2A recommended).
- Prefer short cables and lightweight batteries to avoid affecting wearing comfort.
This solution significantly extends sessions without interrupting usage to recharge.
2. Reduce power consumption
To save battery on the Pico G3, adjust the following settings:
- Lower the screen brightness in the settings.
- Turn off Wi-Fi if using only local content.
- Close unused apps running in the background.
- Reduce frame rate in video recording settings if applicable.
3. Enable battery saver mode
To further extend the Pico G3’s battery life, enable battery saver mode:
- Go to Settings > LAB > Power management.
- Enable the Battery saver option.
- This setting slightly reduces display quality to extend usage time.
- Restart the headset for changes to take effect.
This feature is especially useful for idle periods or light use.
4. Best maintenance practices
To preserve battery health long-term:
- Do not leave the headset plugged in permanently after it’s fully charged.
- Avoid letting the battery drop below 20% regularly before recharging.
- Store the headset in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
You can extend the Pico G3’s battery life using a power bank, optimizing power settings, and applying battery care best practices. These solutions help ensure efficient use in all scenarios.
