The OC Suite already contains all of this in a single package.

I already have status monitor, but i don't see power draw, just temperature and clocks.

i'll check that one out. Thanks!

Is this the one you refer to:
https://github.com/KazushiMe/Switch-OC-Suite/releases/tag/1.4.1
Yes, that’s the one. It also has all the safe clock speeds well documented.

He/she has a gbatemp account so you can either pm him/her here or hit them up on github.

I don't understand the instructions. Can you help me out here, please?

Well i don't wanna bother, i think its probably ok to post on GitHub, idk....
sure can…let me know which step has you confused:
Installation
- Download latest release.
- Copy all files in SdOut to the root of SD card.
- Grab x.x.x_loader.kip for your Atmosphere version, rename it to loader.kip and place it in /atmosphere/kips/.
- Customization via online loader configuratorDefault config
also, I recently compiled InfoNX which has voltages (CPU, GPU and EMC) exposed as a Tesla Menu overlay:

Wait, the first one has overlay and does the same thing, correct?
Also, i saw that link you sent me of your overlay and i saw "reduce battery aging" what that does when set to ON?
OC suite has everything you need. The second one I compiled is a fork of the batteryinfoNX homebrew that masagrator made with the addition of voltages of the CPU, GPU and EMC like you were looking for.
reduce battery aging tunes the charging algorithm in order to…lessen the load on the battery and welp, reduce aging as a result.

Yeah, I'll do that first, ill try it, but thanks for letting me know abbot other one.
You mean something like Android does with 85% charge limit?
I was always wondering if there's an app that can protect the battery on the Switch lol
Well, is it effective?
Does OC suite has that also?
Post automatically merged:
Yeah, about this...
Copy "SdOut.zip" content to folder that i create named "SdOut" or... ?
So i put "loader.kip" in folder i created, the "SdOut"?
Also what is this adjustment thing...is this overclocking tool or just a monitor tool?
Kinda confused a bit. I just wanna monitor, why is this so complex to setup an overlay?

@masagrator
Hi. Would it be possible to add the battery info to this https://github.com/masagrator/Status-Monitor-Overlay
to be able to monitor everything about battery consumption voltages, power draw everything related to that?
Also, off topic: can i make FPS counter smaller somehow?

I’ve only just started looking into it. Can’t vouch for effectivenes.
OC Suite is the most comprehensive collection of relatively safe settings you’re going to find for modifying clock speeds. if you want to experiment on your own you will spend quite a bit of time to arrive where OC suite begins.
let‘s start here, what did you see when you downloaded sdOut.zip and unzip it?
This part doesn;t mention that sdOut. It clearly says:
“rename it to loader.kip and place it in /atmosphere/kips/“
if all you want to do is monitor, download and install InfoNX from the link above.

(I honestly don't understand why devs just don't place files in correct folders, zip them and distribute.)
Anyway, I know what its saying, i read it, but i just don't understand what they meant.
i was hoping if you can make it clearer for me if you already know what to put where, English is not really my language, so i might be missing something but its not that clear. And no, that's not the part that confuses me, i know where to put loader, i'm asking about 1 and 2
But since that's irrelevant now, it doesn't matter, i do want just info.
Ill just try InfoNX
Unless you plan on compiling from scratch it would be easier to use the one I linked earlier:

I tried it, its exactly what i wanted. Thanks!
Although i have a question. Can i post screenshoot i made of the screen so you can tell me about my battery and some options there?

Sure, will do my best. post a pic and let me know which things you need further explanation.

Ok, so i made 4 more screen shoots showing on charger with reduce battery ON and OFF
and same thing without charger with battery ON and OFF, so just take a look and see if you notice anything unusual.
And this one i was hoping you can clear some things up for me that i'm seeing here.
(I made numbers, for easier understanding)
1. For this one id just like to hear general explanation, what those two fields represent?
2. Is this good? Yeah my Switch is not really new, but is it normal to have low number (V1 switch, bought it used) and will "reduce battery aging" slow down the number from going down further, i mean faster?
3. If i plug in charger or on battery its always saying "No" why? How can it be not enough power supplied??
4. They are always 0, they dont show SoC temp or fan speed. Why is that?
5. And this one, its always OFF, why is it always OFF and what it means?
Ill now post 4 pictures i mentioned above:

As for these four, so just take a look at them please, and see if you notice anything unusual.
On battery, "Reduce battery aging - OFF"
On battery, "Reduce battery aging - ON"
On Power Brick, "Reduce battery aging - OFF"
On Power Brick, "Reduce battery aging - ON"

I’ll start of with something someone else said in another thread, you are over analyzing things. Get the information you need and study the ones that interest you later so you don’t get bogged down in minutia and can focus to completion of one thing. That’s for life in general…not just Switch.
To be honest I’m not sure about this one. I mean I could guess but I try not to do that when I’m telling someone else. If anyone else has an idea feel free to chime in.
97.5% is expected for this age of a V1 battery. You’ve got a lot more time left before it stops taking enough charge to last several hours of game time.
this is kinda odd. Mine changes to Yes. Are you plugging in an official charger? Best I can think is maybe you have a 3rd party charger and it’s not supplying enough power or maybe it’s not plugged in? Dunno…that’s weird.
this is weird too. Does https://github.com/masagrator/Status-Monitor-Overlay show the same thing?
it is not disabled because according to your other pics you are at about 58% charge which is less than 80% so the feature is off (and you are supposed to be charging)
aside from the missing SOC Temp and Fan Speed nothing looks too crazy.
I’m not commenting on the CPU GPU and EMC btw. You will need to assess this based on the docs and your Switch.
