Oculus CV1 & TPCAST Dual Battery Mod

thingiverse

Modification to the Standard Oculus Rift CV1 and TPCAST Version 1 Setup: This mounts the TPCAST power block to the back of the headset, adding dual batteries to side straps. Energy is reduced from 20,000 mAh to 10,000 mAh in the standard TPCAST battery. The new batteries provide approximately two hours of power in one stretch, which meets my requirements. These batteries are very affordable and total recharge time has been decreased from eight hours to three hours. To assemble this modification, you will need to print: 1x TPCAST_Oculus_Mount_V2_inch.stl 2x TPCAST_Dual_Battery_Holder_V2_inch.stl Additionally, you will need to purchase: 2x KMASHI External Battery, Compact 5000mAh Portable Charger Power Bank Pack ($10.99 on Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZF523AK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1x 2-Pack - USB Extension Cable 3.0, SNANSHI Short USB 3.0 Extension Cable 1 Ft USB3.0 A Male to Female 90-Degree Left and Right Angle Extender ($7.99 on Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XWQF31X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1x 1-Roll - Eaxer 5-Yard Cable Hook & Loop Fastening Tape, 0.75-Inch Cable Organizer Ties in Black ($6.17 on Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/Eaxer-Cable-Fastening-Organizer-Black/dp/B01I7YHYK4/ref=sr_1_16?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1516749441&sr=1-16&keywords=velcro+tape Note: There are no software indicators to show the battery charge, but the dual batteries have LED indicator lights on the side.
