Those are probably chargers that have an asterisk next to the 100 watts. They all have multiple ports so it's probably a combined total of 100 watts between all the ports.
@@MrLordbeavis Thats part of the problem. If you have to get into the manual to see their Asterisk of that it is combined load, and not single-port load, then it is false advertising. This is a big problem in the industry where not only do we have lots of BLATANTLY false claims on a lot of crap shovelware, but also a lot of misleading "Technically True, but with caveats" advertising. It should be labeled as 100W Total or something similar to that to be clear about capabilities. Not try to mislead us by giving us a max 50-70w out of a single port, but scale it down to 20-30 per port if they are all filled to make a total of 100W. Honestly, I know its how the 'game' is played, but more sellers need to have their accounts and/or brands/companies be fined or banned from sales platforms for false advertising claims. Especially on what should be easy to know and verify technical specifications.
@@jaybratt Leather strop is all you need to maintain for most blades whether it's shaving razor, knife or sword. I doubt you will need sharpening stone unless you have been swinging at something hard and the edge is stuffed.
Maybe you would not have to test all those chargers if you'd take a look at the datasheets of the chargers first... The BD3 needs a brick that's capable of delivering 20V/5A and is compatible with PD3.0. Everything else will result in lower power throughput.
I really wish they would offer that charger with just one battery slot. I have two batteries, so if it charges them within an hour i already have infinite runtime by swapping out the two so i don't really see the point in having 3-4 batteries. Also i don't really need the display. The battery itself shows me enough information to see how full it is and if it's fully charged. I would rather have it take up less space on my desk and be cheaper.
I still got the Charging Dock anyways, I need it because when I get my hands on the Katwalk C2 Core I'll be doing a "How long can you last in Virtual Reality" Challenge I've been wanting to do for a while, and I'm going to start with a weekend. then when I have vacation time try and go for a week.
I am too, I get them trying to save weight but NO JOKE, I'm on a trip right now and I brought 3 old bobos to help me keep everything charged. I guess I'll keep the old ones just for that.
maybe the issue with the station not getting the full 100W is because the cable you connected from the power brick to the station isn't able to support 100W. So it makes sense that the tobin (?) power brick with the connected cable is delivering the best result.
Thanks for the review Jay! I ordered a spare B100 battery for my S3 Pro on March 30th and still waiting for it to ship 😕 I didn't bother with the BD3 charging dock as I would prefer a BD1 (single) or BD2 (double) charger. Plus it would mean buying a 100w power brick. Interesting that you struggled to get the full 100W charging capability when 3 batteries are docked too.
Maybe I’m a “spoiled” American but I gotta comment on the length of time it takes to get these products. It seems BOBOVR advertises the next “great accessory” then it takes weeks to come IF they are in stock. Then once it does come u find out you have to purchase an additional item and that may also take awhile and of course is an additional expense. I love BOBOVR, but it’s frustrating to always have to play this waiting game
It's crazy to think at first how grown men would get stoked about more hours of batteries for a whole day. I said "at first". I'm new to it and the more I use it the more I can understand where I myself might end up. Shopping for dock now. Thx. My quest elite battery strap is actually underwhelming, and wasn't exactly inexpensive. These things really suck power with everything set to full bore - graphics, etc.
That Binbok with two elongated batteries that u can swap on the headset was my first headstrap and it was totally efficient. I just find elite straps uncomfortable after time; but it does provide a good amount of playing time and the headset came with 2 batteries and a charger
This head strap and dock are not "over-engineered. I was one of the people begging them for parallel charging at full rate. The display is not what makes it expensive. The old, M2 doch was only one charger that split it’s current to two batteries. This one is 3 chargers combined.
Hi JayBratt, I noticed that for some time now, while playing, Quest 3 charges only to 74-75% and stops at this value, this is the case with the external battery, Bobovr, Elite and the original charger. I see that Meta has posted information on the elite strap website that it only tops up to 70% when using quest 3. Is it possible to turn it off somehow in the quest 3 options, I'm almost sure that it was charging to full before? 🤔
It does suck! That's why they built the fan into the strap I think. So one battery powered both without the need to run another but I used the old batteries as spare power banks too so now I'm keeping a few of those ☹️
The Anker charging brick you link specifically says the laptop port only goes to 45W. A quick search online shows they have a few with a 100W port. Hopefully you get a chance to test on e of those. I am thinking of ordering model A2672 (Anker 317 Charger (100W)) hopefully it can do the job.
I am currently testing out the 317 using the boboVR 100 watt cable the duck came with I can only get 37 peak i’m currently on a trip but when I get home tomorrow, I’m gonna try the one cable that came with the charger and give you another update ( that’s with 2 fully dead battery in the dock) (adding a 3rd 80% full brings it to 39w)
@@stephenperry1276 you definitely notice the original, i bought a 3 without knowing the stock strap was bad and instantly on getting it i went on youtube looking for a better one
Mixed reviews, some people think it costs too much but a lot of people don't like that it doesn't include a 100w power brick and it is tricky to find a power brick that gives it the max power it can handle. I do think it should've included the right brick and cost more to include it. Also it doesn't include a battery which people didn't like.
Are you saying that the new 10k batteries can’t charge other devices anymore? So you can no longer use them like power banks? That is weird because my KKCOBVR 10k battery for the Pro 3 headband is able to charge other devices. If BoboVR removed that feature on the new batteries that would suck.
i'll stick with the top charging for now with just 1 battery. Not worth the extra money for the dock or extra battery Using a smart plug to see the wattage used, and when its back at 0W i get a notification on my phone so i know its ready :P
Help please! I live in Rwanda and shipping lithium batteries is a no. So I have someone coming to visit in a about a week. I wont have time to wait for the new headset. I will be getting the M3 headset but i am confused on the batteries. I might be frazzled because of the short time, but do I need the B2 batteries or do they only work for the quest 2? Also found this on reddit: Just a heads up about the BOBOVR B2 batteries with Quest 3. The Quest 3 needs 20 watts to stay topped up and charge more than it is using-the B2 batteries on the M2 and 3 strap output 15 watts. Should I use something else?
Got my new b100 batteries but for some reason they are not holding the quest 3 charged let alone actually charging them. I don't think I'm doing anything extensive for them not to charge the headset. Anyone else having this issue?
Bobovr customer support is awesome, one of my batteries wasn’t working and they promptly shipped out another after providing a video showing it not functioning
You can use a multi meter to measure wattage but you need to use a megger to measure the rating of a specific part of the circuit (megger actually sends voltages through the wires)
so i have 4 of the old ones and 2 of them dont work at all one when i take it off the charger the lights go out and dont turn on and dont charge and the other one just doesnt charge the headset when i throw it on and i havent had them that long any idea why they did that so i dont do that again for the next ones i get
Just got my S3! So far, I love it, it did get delayed by 2 weeks, I don't know what that was about. I usually don't play for the whole battery to run out. Do you think I should get another battery, so I always have the option to play without breaks?
Some people that enjoy the more Gucci things in life, “over engineered” isn’t a problem. If people can’t afford it, not my problem. I enjoy some of the nicer things my money can buy.
So how many of these batteries should I have on hand if I in vr for 8+ hours? guessing two should do me with the dock? and just hot swap between the two
Taking into account the quest 3's battery fully charged. Two B100 batteries should be enough. With a fully charged headset and 1 B100 is enough for about 5 hours. Once you drain the first B100, place it on charge using the quest 3's charging brick and cable and it should be fully charged by the time the second B100 runs out.
My BoboVR M3 strap is making a buzzing noise in the built in speakers when it's plugged in to the Quest (and the battery is on). Is it normal, or I have a faulty strap? 🤔 I didn't hear any buzzing noise when I was using the M2 strap with the Quest 2.
@@jaybratt Ahh, I see, thanks. Do you have an Amazon link for the B100U Upgrade Kit? I couldn't find it via searching. Is it not available on Amazon yet? It looks like BOBOVR don't ship to my country (South Africa) for orders placed via their own website.

Hey Jay! Always a solid video! I have the S3 pro and do think it’s a little on the heavy side. I think the dream setup will be the M3 mini with the new battery upgrade installed. Could you cover that next? I’d do it myself, but I can’t speak to any bobo rep for a version. I spent my own money on the S3 :)
Got the S3 Pro and the b100 charging dock today. Gotta say, having owned the M3 Pro and having three batteries.. this one battery that I got with the S3 Pro seems to last as long as two M3 batteries. I have a 45W dual charger (goes up to 27-28W (starts to slow down when the battery is at 80%+) when it's the only one plugged in), and honestly that's pretty quick. But I'll definitely be investing in the Tobenone charger. I wanna be back up and running.
Always worrying about Porch Pirates in the States I didn't like the packaging that the Bobo stuff showed up in. Just something that is more tempting and visible. I'd prefer just a basic looking boring box/envelope.
Great video, I wanted to know how long it takes to charge one battery using the dock vs just a cable? I’m new to VR and working daily in immersed. I’m getting about 2.5 hours each battery, I’m trying to work out if I want to buy a dock or a 3rd battery. Side note if bobovr are making adaptor kits, I would love to see an adaptor that goes from the battery to USB A and C sockets so they become more than just quest batteries.
I'm cool with my 16 ft usb c 100 watt cable with 30 watt anker brick. I let it get down to 75-50 percent and plug it in. It holds the charge at whatever it was when I plugged it in. The cable is so light and long that it doesn't get in your way. I spent about $30 in all for brick and cable.
Already got a bobo vr headstrap, the one prior to this. Anyone who has the original strap, you are definitely missing out. Its worth every cent. Way easier to put on and take off and share and easily adjust to other headsets very quickly, very comfortable, never moves, highly recommend bobovr products.
The charging dock looks great but I won't buy one until they bundle it with a battery, which apparently are still in very high demand so who knows how long it will take before they start bundling things.
Great video! I have to disagree with you on one point. If your Bobovr battery and headset die, putting a fully charged battery on it, will not allow you to play. I just experienced that. I couldn’t play. The question needs to be at a certain point of charge to work. I don’t know what that is though. Thanks Jay!
Fantastic review as always! I’m waiting for my dock and two extra batteries. I wondered if we could use the CyberCore to charge this? I know it’s 120w but maybe I’ll try it and see. 😊
I agree with the overdesign comment for the new headstrap. Heck, I even found the M2 Pro strap overdesigned. I ended up keeping it but used the battery dock on my M2 Mini strap, which I find more comfortable. However, gotta love the BoboVR batteries.
Probably what was happening with the bricks is that the 100 watts was the total you'd get if you use all the ports. its a missleading stratagy that companies use. youll see it a lot with cigarette adapters in cars too
I love ur tests ...almost 3 years ago I buy my bobo m2 pro 2 after i saw your review with a lot of quest 2 strap with for each one pros and cons... But for this one i ame confuse: did you mange to get infinit play time with ONLY 2 battery ?one charging and the other on the strap and the dock Does the charging one fully charged when the other is "dead"? Does the the quest battery rest stable with it? Same question for Ar mode vr mode and air link mode
The dock is on the way. I purchased the cheaper Anker 100w charger. Model 317 I believe. it has just one USB port on it. Hopefully it does what it is supposed to. I only have two batteries though, so it shouldn't be a big concern. By the way the fan on the S3 Pro is fantastic. Get warmed up, then turn it on.... it works really well. I can see how you might not notice if you turn it on before you start sweating.
@@raynlaze1339 I don't have three batteries to see if it gets the full 90 watts or close. It seemed to do 27 to 28 watts with one and close to 60 with 2. I don't remember how much it was giving with two because I'm usually just charging one. I think it will be good enough eitherway. I will say I feel like my OnePlus 9 charger, though only 65 watts, seems more stable. Stays solid at 28 instead of bouncing between 27 and 28.
@@SaltedSlug85 That seems pretty good! I also only have 2. I tried using my oneplus 11 charger, since it says 100W on it.. but it only seems to give me 18W for some reason.
I ordered the S3 twice and cancelled it twice on Amazon, it’s just far too heavy and looks cumbersome. It’s not over engineered, it’s less customizable like their quest 2 accessories, aka some don’t need or want the fan. I ended up loving the Kiwi elite strap with their velcro 10,000mah battery pack for hot swapping the packs on the top strap instead. Neck fan is all I need vs air circulating inside my headset.

I have the S3 pro and do think it’s a little on the heavy side.
I think the dream setup will be the M3 mini with the new battery upgrade installed. Could you cover that next? I’d do it myself, but I can’t speak to any bobo rep for a version. I spent my own money on the S3 :)
That case from the teaser better fit all this crap they’re making me buy loooool 😂
It...
...does
There's the KLIK 100W USB-C GaN Wall Charger Model KWC100CA or the ASUS ROG AC100-00 that gives 100w using only the usb-c (at least on paper)
Got the S3 Pro and the b100 charging dock today. Gotta say, having owned the M3 Pro and having three batteries.. this one battery that I got with the S3 Pro seems to last as long as two M3 batteries.
I have a 45W dual charger (goes up to 27-28W (starts to slow down when the battery is at 80%+) when it's the only one plugged in), and honestly that's pretty quick. But I'll definitely be investing in the Tobenone charger. I wanna be back up and running.
Always worrying about Porch Pirates in the States I didn't like the packaging that the Bobo stuff showed up in. Just something that is more tempting and visible. I'd prefer just a basic looking boring box/envelope.
I bet the Bobo cable isn’t really a 100 watt cable
Great video, I wanted to know how long it takes to charge one battery using the dock vs just a cable? I’m new to VR and working daily in immersed. I’m getting about 2.5 hours each battery, I’m trying to work out if I want to buy a dock or a 3rd battery.
Side note if bobovr are making adaptor kits, I would love to see an adaptor that goes from the battery to USB A and C sockets so they become more than just quest batteries.
I'm cool with my 16 ft usb c 100 watt cable with 30 watt anker brick. I let it get down to 75-50 percent and plug it in. It holds the charge at whatever it was when I plugged it in. The cable is so light and long that it doesn't get in your way. I spent about $30 in all for brick and cable.
Already got a bobo vr headstrap, the one prior to this. Anyone who has the original strap, you are definitely missing out. Its worth every cent. Way easier to put on and take off and share and easily adjust to other headsets very quickly, very comfortable, never moves, highly recommend bobovr products.
I remember you saying couple of videos ago, that they made these batteries for charging everything...
In reality I dont mind, I have had trouble with charging the battery with a power bank, so its cool with me but the price is just eh
Try UGreen brand chargers next time. I find they're a lot more reliable than the Anker ones and actually supply the rated voltages properly.
Do you have a new recommendation for a charging brick? I know you said the one you initially recommended didn't fit the bill.
Yesss, I use bobos all the time to charge my phone! Heehee
These might not work for your phone, well mines doesn't work...so I don't know about that
I guess we gotta keep the old bobos just for phones
@leoneljoseph6357 yea the new ones don't work. The old ones do, though!
I want a stock strap adapter for the quest 3 bobo batteries like with the adapter for the stock quest 2 strap...
The charging dock looks great but I won't buy one until they bundle it with a battery, which apparently are still in very high demand so who knows how long it will take before they start bundling things.
Great video! I have to disagree with you on one point. If your Bobovr battery and headset die, putting a fully charged battery on it, will not allow you to play. I just experienced that. I couldn’t play. The question needs to be at a certain point of charge to work. I don’t know what that is though. Thanks Jay!
Fantastic review as always! I’m waiting for my dock and two extra batteries. I wondered if we could use the CyberCore to charge this? I know it’s 120w but maybe I’ll try it and see. 😊
I agree with the overdesign comment for the new headstrap. Heck, I even found the M2 Pro strap overdesigned. I ended up keeping it but used the battery dock on my M2 Mini strap, which I find more comfortable. However, gotta love the BoboVR batteries.
Probably what was happening with the bricks is that the 100 watts was the total you'd get if you use all the ports. its a missleading stratagy that companies use. youll see it a lot with cigarette adapters in cars too
I love ur tests ...almost 3 years ago I buy my bobo m2 pro 2 after i saw your review with a lot of quest 2 strap with for each one pros and cons...
But for this one i ame confuse: did you mange to get infinit play time with ONLY 2 battery ?one charging and the other on the strap and the dock
Does the charging one fully charged when the other is "dead"? Does the the quest battery rest stable with it?
Same question for Ar mode vr mode and air link mode
I use the fan, great for intense gaming
Will a quest 3 headset dock charge the bobo battery when it's installed on the quest?
I love my S3 Pro but this stuff is wayyy to pricy. The M2/3 Battery came with a charger for 50€ flat. Now they want 102€. That's a hard pass from me.
My dock has shipped but not the battery… seems a bit wasteful to not ship the entire order…
Wow man! Thanks for all the testing. I'm sure it was terrible being in VR all that time lol
I'm passing on the charging dock. I don't use the fan on the headset.
yje ears look so fun
Awww thanks! (=✪ᆽ✪=)
can the B100U be added to any headset? I don't really like halo straps, I really like my Kiwi Elite style strap.
no you cant, he said it at 6:10
You got the POWER! [:]~))
Hope the new carrying case is coming soon too
The dock is on the way. I purchased the cheaper Anker 100w charger. Model 317 I believe. it has just one USB port on it. Hopefully it does what it is supposed to. I only have two batteries though, so it shouldn't be a big concern. By the way the fan on the S3 Pro is fantastic. Get warmed up, then turn it on.... it works really well. I can see how you might not notice if you turn it on before you start sweating.
So how does your charger work? Does it supply enough watt?
@@raynlaze1339 I don't have three batteries to see if it gets the full 90 watts or close. It seemed to do 27 to 28 watts with one and close to 60 with 2. I don't remember how much it was giving with two because I'm usually just charging one. I think it will be good enough eitherway. I will say I feel like my OnePlus 9 charger, though only 65 watts, seems more stable. Stays solid at 28 instead of bouncing between 27 and 28.
@@SaltedSlug85 That seems pretty good! I also only have 2. I tried using my oneplus 11 charger, since it says 100W on it.. but it only seems to give me 18W for some reason.
code doesnt work
Workaround only to charge other devices? This is a future junk/ e-waste product line. Disappointed and boycotting.
I ordered the S3 twice and cancelled it twice on Amazon, it’s just far too heavy and looks cumbersome. It’s not over engineered, it’s less customizable like their quest 2 accessories, aka some don’t need or want the fan.
I ended up loving the Kiwi elite strap with their velcro 10,000mah battery pack for hot swapping the packs on the top strap instead. Neck fan is all I need vs air circulating inside my headset.
