Like any high-tech mobile gadget, the Oculus Quest 2 requires battery power to run.
Obviously, the motion controllers also need battery power.
However, these arent powered with an integrated battery.
They each have a single AA battery.
Unfortunately, being powered by an AA battery, you cant just plug your controllers in.
Youll have to take them out and replace them.
you could find it near the top, between the main buttons, and the trigger on the back.
Simply push it down, away from the top ring, to kick off the battery compartment.
You may also want to take a stab at use something to increase your grip.
Once youve got the cover off, its the standard process to replace it.
Just take it out and put in another AA battery, ensuring the orientation is correct.
Putting the cover back should be friendly and straightforward, needing very little force.
You could get a set of rechargeable AA batteries.
Combined with a charger, these will be cheaper long term.
Alternatives
You may also want to consider getting an alternative power supply.
There are some products available online that offer an alternative.
The headset is charged via the standard USB-C port, though the same trick doesnt work for the controllers.
Instead, the controllers get a replacement battery and battery cover that support wireless charging on the dock.
