I will ask again. Where did Oculus say not to use the Go headset while charging?

Me too!! AUKEY products are great, works like a charm, no heat at all. Hours and hours of fun.

I might be rolling the dice but I’ve been playing with my Go using a Aukey 30000 MHP battery. It has a fast charge usb and it never gets hot and the battery stays at 92% minimum even running games like Republik VR. I played nonstop today for three hours and my eyes are hurting LOL. Not because of any heat but because you shouldn’t be in VR for all that time anyway. Battery when done was still in the 90s in Go.
Another plus is once the battery charges the device completely it shuts off ultimately saving the battery in your Go, especially if you charge overnight like me. I hate leaving it like that overcharging because it has no natural shutoff once the battery is full.
I’m not recommending anybody else doing what I’m doing but it hasn’t caused any issues in a decent climate. I would not recommend going outside in the hot sun during the summer days and trying this because the heat will have nowhere to go then you may be in trouble. I am not condoning doing this, just adding my two cents to the topic.

There's a thread in Off Topic asking how long people have spent in VR in one session. Don't know how many were using Oculus Go, but there were replies saying anything from 45 minutes to 14 hours. :open_mouth: I gather there isn't a plug-in charger for the UK, so is it charged by USB? Can I charge it via my TV, the same way I charge my Kindle?

@L@LZoltowski Thanks for the link, but can you do what I asked, use the USB charger via my TV. It looks like I'll already have to buy a smartphone to go with the OG, so could do without any more expense. Cheers.

@geebee666 Thanks for that, sounds good. I would probably use the OG during the day, so could charge via the TV from early evening until I turn it off, that may work.

If it charges you kindle it should do the Go but it may take a lot longer as it will probably be limited to a max. of 0.5 amps and the recommended current for the Go is 2.0 amps.
On the plus side if you do buy a smart phone it will most likely have a USB charger with it .
