Nintendo Switch Battery Issues

Even with new batteries or recharging the battery pack, the battery life seems really bad, but only on Switch. Anybody else have these issues?

Is this a good question?

Hi!

How long does it last when you play with it on your Switch?

And how long does it last when you use it for other consoles/PC?

Thank you!

It seems to work fine for a few days, but then it disconnects and reconnects randomly with a "low battery" warning even though every time I check it, it's at least at 30%. I've never had issues with the computer though, if I connect it to PC it stays connected. Is this some sort of battery protection feature for something? Or is it just having a seizure because nothing works properly with Nintendo?

Hi!

Thanks for your comment!

Hmm, sound more like software/firmware issues to me now. Is it possible to do a firmware update for the controller? Also make sure to update you Switch to the newest firmware.

Is this applicable on Switch 1 or 2?

If it's still happening while everything is up to date, I'm pretty sure it's not fully compatible with each other. While Nintendo may need to fix this at their end or the controller manufacture. I'm afraid there is not much you can do about this. Is it possible for you to contact Nintendo support or the controller manufacture?

Sorry for the bad news here..

Hopefully they can bring out a firmware where they can fully support it and thus without instability issues.
