Pre-order placed. Good times.

As for the OP's gif of Mel Gibson shouting in his terrible Scottish accent in a holywood portrayal of the Scots' struggle against a neighbouring country .... enough said.

Cool, hope you enjoy it!

If I remember rightly stock should be arriving soon. Will double check on Monday and get back on this thread with an updated ETA.

Apologies on the gif choice. It was "FREEEEEEEEDOM" or an American freedom bird/meme... To be honest I didn't expend a lot of thought on it, I wanted to get the post up!

Dropping the wires is the best thing to happen to my experience with VR since I first took ownership of an OG Vive over two years ago. But the lack of a QC3 charger from HTC is laughable. The lack of instructions about charging is a serious omission. Not everyone has detailed working knowledge of fast charging batteries, even though it's just a quick internet search away, there's a lot of misleading advice out there on the wild wild web. I plugged it in overnight to my plugboard's USB sockets not thinking anything of it, and it's trickle-charged. It'll be ready for tonight, but only just. I'll try my one+ dash charger after tonight's session, which should probably be rated sufficiently to give it a boost.

What is OverClockersUK staff and the sage community's best advice for charging this thing at a decent rate?

HTC are coming in for a meeting in a few weeks. I'll ask them for detailed info and post it in the VR thread. Got to say I don't have the experience with batteries that large, and we are still waiting on our sample!

There were so many pre-orders we couldn't take one from stock when it landed!

Should have more stock landing by next Friday. Anybody who wants to pre-order from this tranche I'll upgrade to Saturday delivery if it arrives on the Friday. If it arrives before Friday or the week after it'll be standard next day.

Mine is coming tomorrow lets see if it works.... I think you can use a cheap powerbank, it must be a fast charge one.
Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 (it looks the same as the one you get with it).

Hope you enjoy it!

I tried to list some Anker powerbanks a couple of years back. To get to jungle prices the minimum order quantity was in the 1000's... :eek:

Any news from this meeting, or if it hasn't happened yet, this is a gentle bump to bring it up with them. It's frustrating that they didn't include some sort of capable plug for charging. I'm surprised that's not against some sort of UK consumer law for electronic items.

Yeah, during the meeting was one of the outcomes was for HTC to get back to me with compatible adaptors and advice for you.

They have since let me know that they'd prefer not to point people in the direction of the right adaptors to use as they don't want to endorse anything people may then go and buy and end up breaking the customers batteries.

I'm bogged down in arranging Black Friday deals otherwise I'd spend some time investigating for you.
