That Purple Fox Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I have an Anker Powercore+ 28600 power bank that unfortunately does not work with the headset and I was wondering if it was at all possible to charge the HTC power bank with the Anker while using the HTC one. If it is possible, then I don't have to switch to a cable while charging the tiny battery pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HackPerception Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 @That Purple Fox Which HMD are you referring to? This is very confusing - are you talking about charging the Vive Wireless while also drawing power from it? There's a few versions of the vive wireless power bank and I don't have access to test with them all. I'd recommend just testing your specific setup.

That Purple Fox Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 @HackPerceptionThe power bank itself. If I can charge the Vive power bank with my Anker Powercore+ 26800 PD while playing, I can extend wireless time by a significant amount. I just don't know if it is safe to do.

HackPerception Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 @That Purple Fox Should be safe - there is integrated protection circuitry should shut things down if things get out of spec. If the battery charges, it will probably charge pretty quickly. I've done this before while testing, but never off another powerbank. The issue here is that your Powercore isn't QC3.0 compatible. It seems like it's supplying enough current to the wireless adapter to then power that. Weird work around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Purple Fox Posted December 24, 2021 Author Share Posted December 24, 2021 @HackPerceptionSo then I should be safe Using the Anker Powerbank to charge the Vive powerbank while using the wireless adapter? Here's the order of charging if it make smore sense this way: Anker Powercore (output via USB C) >>> (input via USB C) Vive Powerbank (Output via USB A) >>> Vive Wireless My biggest worry with using a power bank to charge another is the potential for a critical malfunction due to discharging while being charged.
