Homebrew Question Battery drain and how to prevent

andy_k · Jan 18, 2019

Hi,
I've updated to 6.2 using ChoiDujourNX and activated autoRCM. Now over night (7h later) my battery is drained - 0.0%
I hold power in CFW and pressed Turn off.
I'm using the files from The backup NAND thread.
So I see very much information but most of them is outdated I think.
How to prevent drain?
How to turn off autoRCM activated by ChoiDujourNX?
Best way to turn off to prevent drain with autoRCM on?

Thank you saw that 1 minute after. But how do I charge normally with autoRCM enabled? I mean I don't want my switch to be plugged in to the charger 70% of all time

Either in sleep mode or while you are actively using it, whether it is docked or in handheld mode.

Iirc you need to leave autoRCM on, otherwise you will burn fuses.
Do you even plan on downgrading? If not, nvm.

You can turn off RCM in hekate.

Then you need to leave it on.

Why? To get banned when you go online with it?

I was never Online with my Switch since I have it and as I read going back to a clean NAND backup in this case you can use your Switch as normal

You can also charge with switch powered off BUT you have to plug in the power cable whilst switch is on, then go into power options and choose power off.

This is because switch has a 'feature' that automatically turns the switch ON when a power cable is inserted, because autoRCM is enabled the screen stays black, the power saving chip does not turn on and your battery goes flat quicker than the charger can charge it.
