The battery only lasts for 60-50 minutes then it says the low battery message on Air Link. Is this normal??
Edit: I also play on 72hz mode, and it still drains

I noticed Link/Air Link will give a low battery warning at 25% where as the standalone headset will give a warning from 12 to 17%. Depending on you headset and what apps/games you are playing that could mean as much as 20-25 minutes. However support recommends for best battery life to avoid going below 20%.
About one minute per one percent of charge is about what I usually get.

With Air Link the best solution is to use an external battery pack imho. Lots of different options on how to do this. Just do a little google research.
