Hacking Suggestion We need Joy-Con Battery Fix ASAP

seen a lot of fake information around the electric car maybe or being made by N tesla ... Which was it the 1931 Pierce-Arrow you are referring to ?

He did not make the car. I read that one of the electric cars used a battery that tesla invented. I might have been trolled by fake news. I know jay leno has a 1930s electric car with the original batteries. They are akaline and invented by edition. I should have saved that article. It might have been fake news. I remember reading that the old battery was charged enough to drive the car around.

icola Tesla invented a battery that has almost no degration and still powered a 1900's electric car that had been sitting for 100 years. that's one hell of a battery.

Isn't that a hoax? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla_electric_car_hoax

For the purpose of your argument, are they really the same battery?

"Thomas Edison invented the alkaline battery. My Baker still has some original alkaline batteries. These have lead plates and use acid; we wash them out and refill them regularly and I'll use them indefinitely."

In 100 years time you can take a Tesla, empty the old batteries out and refurb them again. It's just not cost effective to do that.

If lithium batteries were not such crap, they would not need to be babied to increase the longevity of the battery. Nicola Tesla invented a battery that has almost no degration and still powered a 1900's electric car that had been sitting for 100 years. that's one hell of a battery. Id like to see a lithium battery that sits for 100 years and still works.....

If you think lithiums suck, try going back to NiCad, the real pieces of sucky sucks that ever sucked.

lol yeah i remember niCad. still have some sonewhere from the 1990's. They sucked and only delivered 1.2 volts in the case of AA batteries instead of the normal 1.5

You don't seem to understand how batteries work. Coming from a background in batteries I can at least point you in the right direction.

Li-Ion are just starting to make their way to solar, which pretty much sets the standard. Probably still way too expensive per KW.

There are many reasons Teslas use Li-Ion.

Your 100 year old battery and 100 year old motor, when new, could only manage ~10MPH. Enjoy!

I was not talking about the tesla car company. I was talking about batteries that the Scientist Nicola tesla was playing with. It actually might have been a fake article. I read an article that said that an old electric cars battery was charged and after sitting for over 90 years and it still held a charge. NO modern battery will do that

I know how Lithium ion batteries work. Some have a memory circuit with in them to help the battery remember its number of times recharged and prevents over charging. the 100 year old battery i read about was built using highly toxic substances hence its durability. It would not be allowed today.
The point is we need better battery tech.

As title says, seriously. I mean:



+my joycons batteries deplets even console is closed. Its like they were stuck on RCM and drained the their batteries. I am facing these all issues after using cfw.

How long does it take?
The JoyCon batteries do discharge rather quickly even when not in use. Not much you can do about that besides installing a switch to physically disconnect power. But it should take weeks at least.

I hope for your sake you did make a nand backup before you did anything

Good luck to you, You could also unpair remove pairing settings from the controller setting menu and RE-pair them
or if your smart and clever and do not mind opening you joycons...

Swap the battery over with the right joycon if you still have issues and see if it changes anything.. see if the will charge in either joycon

A flicker off charge/ or a charge and not charging status on screen could be a faulty connection in the joycon pins or joycon pin rails.

Well im done here so take care, lets go @Kubas_inko

I have nand backup and its totally clean, not even entered homebrew once.
I tried pair/repair but dont worked.

Normally right joycon can stand for 8-12 hours but left is nearly 3 hours. Maybe it cant even charge %100.

Hmm, Joy-con never power off..

They just sleep.

Glad you came:D

NEWS!

I left the console charging for 10 hours since last night and right joycon charged but left joycon not charged! I mean while it attached to console (console charging too) it says full charge but when you eject, battery goes to %50 WTF?! After reattach the console, charge goes to full again..

Oh and I have an idea but no hope, when I launch ofw on hekate, my fuses burning? If not I will try ofw.

Too many unknowns here, first of all whether it was true. You can find articles that make all sorts of claims. The problem with old electric car stories is that people make stuff up because they hate the oil industry & other people believe it because they too hate the oil industry.

If it is true, then how expensive would it be to make? If you can build a 12v battery that can hold a charge for 90 years but it cost 1 million dollars to make then would you bother? What if it could hold it's charge for 90 years, but the capacity was only enough to make a 5 mile trip at 5mph? Would you buy one, because in the next 90 years you might want to make that trip?

You might need a new battery. Luckily, they're pretty easy to replace. I would suggest that if you don't have an #Y00 triwing screwdriver, don't just buy some random triwing screwdriver, it's really hard to find the correct size and you will easily strip the screws. I tried one from eBay that turned out to be the wrong size as well as one I got from a replacement JoyCon shell (you'd think that would be the correct size but nope), and still managed to strip a screw with the latter. A small flathead just big enough to fit in the gap in the middle is actually less harmful for the screws than a wrong size triwing screwdriver. Only Ifixit sells #Y00 that I've seen. I bought the Pro Tech Toolkit to make opening stuff easier in the future and the #Y00 it in it is a perfect fit, but they also sell the bit separately.
The battery is connected to the board with a connector that you simply flip up to disconnect it and is immediately accessible once the back is removed.

Idk why, but both my joycons discharges when my console is turned off. I just used RCM mode (NOT AutoRCM) a few times to backup my games... :(
