Can I charge a portable battery while it's connected to my quest 2?

Yeah, I want to plug a portable battery into my quest and use it until both the portable battery and the quest 2 die, or until the quest 2 is half way or more gone.
Then, I figure I would just plug my battery in, and it would recharge itself and the quest 2 while it's plugged in.

Will it work out that way? As in, will this work, or will it/can it hurt my quest?

And if that will work, can I put a second battery into the chain?

Has anyone actually tried this?

You can be the 1st one.



Plug it in and find out. If you get a nice "boom" or "poof" out of it, then you know what happens and what not to do moving forwards.
I can't afford a new headset this soon. I just got this one in november. :(
The magic smoke needs to stay in this headset.

In this case, be patient and wait until portable battery is fully recharged, before putting it into your headset.

Smart thing to do, would be buying 2nd portable battery and when one gets empty, you can put the 2nd, full one in, while the 1st one recharges. This gives you continuous use (if given that battery recharge takes less time than battery draining during usage).
