Having power bypass the battery and go straight to the components is a hardware thing, you need connectors from the port to the motherboard in addition to the standard connection to the battery
I was genuinely wondering this the other day as I don’t use my Switch OLED all that much. So it stays docked most of the time. I am glad that I now know!
but other people won't. To get consumers attention they at keast need a different more appealing design. if they don't cgange its appearance, grandma won't see a reason to randomly buy it for her grandson.
yes but it's so nominal and consistent with regular battery charging patterns that by the time it refils itself that 1% 99 times for a full charge cycle, it would have gone through that cycle if it was on a regular charging schedule anyway, maybe even longer past a normal cycle charge usage.
@@PinoyGamingTribethe catch is this is within a years time unless you’re in this weird scenario where lithium ion batteries aren’t rechargeable and they just don’t retain energy after being discharged and recharged this won’t happen instantly.

It would be better if the state of charge wasn’t so high when docked. A lot of people are primarily docked, so the 95-100% trickle charging it does isn’t very helpful. It would be better if they did some sort of 80% limit, or an option to, so it can preserve battery health. Sure it’s pretty easy to replace the battery, but what if you just… didn’t have to? The battery theoretically could last like 10+ years before it starts expanding or something if it’s taken care of properly
Yes, but keeping an Li-Ion bat at 100% for a ling time is far from good. Even apple have an option now to limit the max charging to 80%, so the phone isn’t kept on 100% charge for hours and hours, everyday.
@@Winters11 battery percentage doesn't matter, only battery cycles, and once it's at 100%, it's purely powered by the power source, meaning it's not damaging the battery any more than charging it nornally
@@matthewloscar2893 Absolutely not true. I work with batteries. Lithium based batteries - being them LiPo, LiFe, Lion, etc - don´t chemically like to be on full charge. Thats why they never - absolutely never - came on full charge from factory. They came on what is called "storage charge" (nominal), which is usually around 40% of the full charge. On hobby batteries, which usually are never used that many cycles but are equivalent to phone batteries in its structure, are worn out by mainly 2 things. The high temperatures they endure on high rate charge/discharge cycles and the lack of care when storing them outside of their recommended storage charge. The (decent) chargers have the option of put a battery on "storage" charge. So, before you put it away for 1 or 2 weeks, being it fully or partially charged, you should put it on "storage charge" so you can keep them on good shape for much, much longer than if you don´t.

My switch's battery actually goes down in battery when playing more graphically intensive games when docked. I could have it docked playing zelda and if I check the battery an hour in, its not at 100% anymore.
@alyssahall28nah, my switch has never done that and I bought it around the first year it released, usually with more graphical games it just takes longer to charge while playing
They're not gonna announce the system out of panicking especially since it's still doing all right. They have relatively heavy hitter games coming up and they're not gonna overshadow/cannibalize sales of them by announcing the next system. January is the most I think we can expect the system to be revealed and it'll be a march or a near summer release.
Nintendo put out a statement saying that if you’ve left your switch charging on the dock for long periods of time you can actually fry the battery and it will essentially become direct current switch because the battery will no longer hold a charge. I can stand and say this is true being some who’s had a switch and the switch lite I never took my docked switch off the dock for 3 years and when I did finally the switch wouldn’t turn on but when it was docked it was fine.
But what happens when it’s running off of its own source but goes down to 99 then charging to 100 then stop charging? That’s gotta be bad for the battery
Having the battery at 100 is all the time is just as bad as having it dead. I only connected it when it’s low and remove at a max of 80 unless I REALLY need that extra juice for the time being
Deeper question, why do y’all even care? Nothing you can do can mitigate batteries aging and the only outstanding quality of getting a depreciating battery is how much you use it so at the end of the day you’ve used your battery as much as the guy who burnt out their battery quicker. It’s better to enjoy the time you have with the thing
Quick question: my Nintendo switch was at 2% before I plugged it in. Immediately after plugging it in, it skyrocketed to full battery. Is there any way to fix this?
My dock works great, but after I turn off the switch when it's on the dock a lot of times, the switch goes into rcm until the battery dies without being connected. It could be my dock that does this.
Well why is it that I charged my OLED overnight and it stops charging close to 100% and no longer charges at all now?! I have a oled for about a year and this never happened till now and I just bought another OLED after this has happened and now it's happening to the new one after 3 days?! Know anything about this?
My switch is jumping to random numbers whenever I take it off the dock it can never be portable again I have to replace it I just don’t want too since it’s one before the revision maybe I’ll just jailbreak it or something
Hi bro I have new nintendo switch oled when charge it for first time from 42% to 100% and turn it off totally off when I turn it on after 2 days I found battery 95% is it norma
This is true, but it goes from 99 to 100 over and over again. It may stop charging at 100, but the second it goes to 99, it starts charging again. This is called trickle charging, and is bad for lithium battery life. Edits are spelling fixes
I knew that was what it had to mean… After all, why else does my seven-year-old console still have a good lifespan? I mean, it’s not as good as the physical component patch a couple years later… but it doesn’t feel degraded, it has good life still! (Apple could learn a lot, lol. Optimized charging is cool, but it could be better if it forcefully stops at 100!)
Yes but Nintendo say you should get 800 charge cycles. That’s years!! Say you charge your switch from 0-100% once every 2 days (no one will do it this frequently IMO) - it’ll be 4 years before 800 cycles have been used. Realistically I think the battery will comfortably last 6-8yrs depending on usage. Which for a £300 console is amazing to be honest.
where did you get that information from, that the switch does not use/charge the battery when at 100%? just from the image at the top? sounds like BS and I really dont trust nintendo in doing anything correctly. Keepoing the battery at 100% is bad practice and destroys the battery, thats why every phone manufacturer keeps the phone only at 80%, not at 100% over night
no that doesn't answer the question. Li Ion batteries last the longest when kept between 20-80%. The Switch will charge to 100% then the charging cuts off yes, but once the battery begins idly discharging (batteries discharge even when not in use) the charging starts up again, this is bad for the battery if you are regularly topping it off every time it goes down a percent. The ideal solution would be that the charger charges to 80% then lets the switch discharge 5-10 % before charging again, and fully charge periodically.
You know your completely incorrect and think you know better than a bunch of tech guru geniuses in a billion dollar company? Lol Yes lithium battery has it drawbacks but you didn’t take in the factors on how the switch has a separate processor in its console to run a signal and its not the same as a laptop being hooked up to a monitor. It also has an overcharging built in circuit and you didnt take in factor of how heat and environmental conditions are the actual problems than trying to baby a 800 cycle 80% battery. That would last for years and the only way to actually take care of it is to not reach 0% at all, 80% to 100% fake ideal scenarios doesnt matter when a lithium battery just hates being charged up end of it all. It would last for years anyways and has the ability to be used in sleep mode instantly which was exclusively designed to help slow down an inevitable battery degrading technology.

The dock always charges the switch. If you put it in, it will always charge until you take it out.

Yeah buddy my Nintendo switch being in the dark will definitely run down the battery even though the Chargers literally connected to it
