    Hacking Hardware Misc Tutorial Switch Oled 8000mAh(80% MORE PLAYTIME) Battery Mod(Showcase/Guide) [Part 1]

    Yes it works on V1/2. Have done like 2 of them. Small caveat being that you won't be able to use the same batteries I used for the OLED since the LCD screen is thicker and takes away some z-depth from the battery bay. You will have to replace the LTF26A with BA891. This still results in...

    Presumably superbuy should support taobao links too? I got a nubia z70 ultra battery(811wh/litre density!) from xianyu recently. Hopefully they don't seize it before it boards the plane...

    You can just use Taobao and get the cells I got for like 55rmb instead, though. On a side note, that guy is gatekeeping so hard😂 Rubbing off the markings on his cells so noone can find his supplier

    Totally forgot about it because it fit so easily this time:D. Had to sand the back in previous attempts but the removal of part of the midframe seems to give a lot of space. Anyways, here are some pics:

    Hacking Hardware Misc Tutorial Switch Oled 8000mAh(80% MORE PLAYTIME) Battery Mod(Showcase/Guide) [Part 1]

    I actually have everything setup to program homebrew. The problem is there's nothing using i2c send/receive in any of the examples. I tried messing with it myself and building my own program to no success. I'm digging about the code of various homebrew to figure out how it works but this stuff...

    Hacking Hardware Misc Tutorial Switch Oled 8000mAh(80% MORE PLAYTIME) Battery Mod(Showcase/Guide) [Part 1]

    To celebrate the reveal of the Switch 2, I decided to finally pick up the soldering iron and finish a project I have been working on for years; doubling the Switch's battery life. WARNING: Attempting this mod without requisite knowledge or research may result in FIRE, EXPLOSION OR WORSE...

    Can you make the Switch's battery stop charging at 60%?

    Charging to a lower voltage absolutely prolongs the usable life of a battery. A normal charge to 4.2v will give you 500 cycles. A charge to 4.05v will give you 1000~ cycles and 80% of capacity at 4.2v. Thats 500 units of energy vs 800 units of energy used before your battery degrades to a given...

    Hacking 6400mAh Battery Mod for Switch Results+Guide

    Honestly this version of the Guide will probably not be relevant for too long. There's a lot more I could do to get way more capacity(I know for a fact 11000mAh is possible). Truth be told I am a bit lazy to upload all the images again, this time to this site, and everytime I copy my post from...

    Hacking 6400mAh Battery Mod for Switch Results+Guide

    Any capacity gained from a 4.2v chemistry would be offset by how low the capacity density on RC batteries are. Just measured the one RC battery I have. 15mm2/mah vs 6.5mm2/mah for the phone batteries. The Switch VRM would sooner blow up than need the 25C on RC batteries. Anyways the capacity is...

    Hacking 6400mAh Battery Mod for Switch Results+Guide

    It's general guide. You don't neccessarily have to use the same cells as me. Anyway, depending one when you bought your switch, it might have a battery from 2017 in it anyway. 1693648782 Is there a issue with that? I'm new here. It seems you can view the entire thing without leaving the gbatemp...
