quick video on the meta quest 3 charge rates

only a maximum (peak) of 18w is supported with headset off completely and in sleep.

with the majority of the charge being around 11w-13w

this isn't my powerbrick or cable to blame or even the included charger, leaving only the headset itself

max I would expect is around 25w given the chip does support this, obviously not all the time but I have never seen that charging rate through any battery % or have actually observed even a sustained 18w charge.

the headset drains FAST and then takes ages to charge!
