Nintendo has published a support document addressing concerns regarding the battery life of the newly released Switch 2. Users may notice discrepancies between the battery level displayed and actual usage, with some devices functioning beyond the indicated charge. Troubleshooting steps include ensuring the use of a compatible AC adapter, updating the console, and performing a reset in recovery mode. If issues persist, Nintendo recommends servicing the device. Comparatively, the Switch 2's battery life is estimated between 2 to 6.5 hours, showing significant variance from older models like the Switch OLED.
Since last week's launch, there's been some chatter about poor battery life, but some of that might just be due to the Switch 2 not having a great battery.
Nintendo's troubleshooting steps include making sure you have an "adequately powerful AC adapter" to charge your system, confirming that your console has the latest system update.
On the Switch 2 tech specs page, Nintendo rates battery life from approximately 2 to 6.5 hours, and it notes that those are "rough estimates" and that "the battery life will depend on the games you play."
With all three running Super Mario Odyssey under similar conditions, the Switch 2 was the first console to power down after about 2 hours and 45 minutes.
