Is it possible to extend Vive Focus Vision battery life?

Yes, there are several ways to increase the autonomy of the Vive Focus Vision and extend your VR sessions without interruption.

1. Use an official spare battery

The Vive Focus Vision has a removable and replaceable battery. A spare battery lets you continue using the headset while the main one recharges.

  • Thanks to its swappable design, simply remove the empty battery and insert a new one to keep your VR session going.
  • This is ideal for intensive business use or long gaming and training sessions.

2. Take advantage of hot-swapping

The headset includes a small internal battery that provides up to 20 minutes of power after removing the main battery.

  • Advantage: This allows you to swap batteries without turning off the headset, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted experience.

3. Optimize settings to save power

Certain adjustments can reduce power consumption and increase headset usage time:

  • Lower screen brightness via settings.
  • Close unused apps running in the background.
  • Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth if not needed.

These optimizations help conserve battery and extend your VR sessions without changing the battery.

4. Use the Vive Wired Streaming Kit

If using the headset in a fixed setup, the Vive Wired Streaming Kit lets you connect it to a PC and use its power supply.

  • This avoids using the headset’s battery and allows extended VR sessions.
  • Note: This kit does not charge the battery — it only powers the headset without drawing from its internal charge.

To extend the Vive Focus Vision battery life, you can use a spare battery with hot-swap support, adjust settings to reduce power usage, or use the Wired Streaming Kit to power the headset externally.
