I have had a Nintendo Switch, the new revision, for almost 3 months. I always write down how much time passes when 10 percent go down. Previously, it was still 32 minutes at 10 percent. Now it's 28 minutes at 10 percent, while I have not touched the console for 1 month and spent at least only 20 hours with the game. I have always spared the battery and always made a break and not loaded every day. Am I worried too much? Is it simply independent how much battery the switch consumes? I ask for help. She can't be broken, she is not even 3 months old.
Batteries wear out. The electrons are tired at some point in the battery. But you will not notice that big. If you play 5 hours and then play 10 minutes less is that still manageable. I think that after 5 years of the battery will be all right. Otherwise, just install a new one and do not worry too much
Batteries wear out. Consumption also depends on the game / application. A Super Mario Maker 2 is not as power-hungry as a Zelda botw
I think you are definitely worried too much. When I play on the switch, I do not have the desire and the time to check each time what percentage of the battery gauge is visible. But spoils the fun.
In addition, this percentage is anyway an "estimate" to simply have a clue whether it's worth loading the console before taking it somewhere where you may not be able to connect it to a power outlet.
In addition, such small, handy consoles really have to do a lot. The games do not look like they did in the days of the Gameboy, in whose games you had to imagine the color and the music was only a halfway melodious beeping.
In addition, a battery power also changes a little, depending on how the ambient temperature is. You've probably noticed that smartphones in icy temperatures also need to be charged more often.
Therefore, do not worry… Your switch battery will continue to work well in the future. If you play games that require everything from the console, it can happen that the battery licks a little faster for fresh electricity.
For me, after two to three years once a Nintendo 3DS battery adopted. The battery drained even when not using the console within a day… I then screwed the console and then just seen that the battery has a little bloated. I had to replace this battery then…
If I feel like gambling, I will not give the console battery a break. Then I gamble until the battery is empty and often zocke continue when the console is also connected to the mains. I never had the impression that a battery was broken faster. And I've gambled on many consoles from the PSP, Nintendo DS and 3DS to the Switch.
