Battery draining quite rapidly

Psd99 · 2026-06-16T12:45:48+0100

Hi I recall this being an issue on a particular firmware for a modded switch but cant remember the fix

I got two switches both on 20.5 firmware - one of batteries is draining quite rapidly when I have it undocked
what would the fix be to keep the battery lasting longer?

Turn it off when not in use.

May as well say "fill a sink with water and put it in, problem solved!".

@OP, there are two solutions to this, one quite expedient, add these lines to the mentioned .ini file in atmopshere: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/issues/2528#issuecomment-3054401265

Or you could rebuild your Emunand entirely after making sure you accepted any prompt on the stock side, but that's quite time-consuming.

Battery drains in 1-2 weeks even on an unmodded console. If you want to conserve your battery, turning it off when not in use is the only way.
