OC to 460 or 768 should be totally harmless to your battery, it wont destroy it ffs. Im seeing some dumbasses spreading fake statements in these comments...

Show me why, well its not *totally* harmless but it is negligible, then again, you can show me why you so fiercely keep stating that every single thread.
The battery isn’t designed to handle it and it has been said multiple times here that it’s not good for the battery. The power draw and heat output from the GPU at 768mhz is way higher than 307mhz. I don’t know what exactly will happen if you run 768mhz off the battery for long periods of time, but I would rather not try it myself

so, i used to Overclock my PC GPU and CPU in the past 8 years. Overclocking Forces the hardware to work at an higher clock, and the GPU/CPU to work this way need an higher Voltage. The Switch battery can output 3.7V, probably boosted to the minimum 5V for the Tegra X1 to be able to work at LOWER clocks. Overclocking it requires more voltage, that the AC cable can provide (it outputs up to 15V). Long story short: If there isn't enought energy, the gpu/cpu/general hardware will fail to work and will end up unfixable.

Oh thats wrong in so many levels, and dont try to teach me how pc oc works, the only thing that could particulary be damaged although negligible its the battery, because of the increased power drawing like m4x said and the guy above repeated. "Long story short": your battery can last less time (both its life and charge) at a continuosly usage of 768 OC, but idk who would use it out of home.

The undervolt is dangerous. By the way, quick charge/draining isn't that dangerous to a lithium ion battery. Anyway, i personally think that the 768 OC is too dangerous to use in a long period of time. Someone should take a switch apart and see what voltage it needs to run at 768 while docked, and compare it with the voltage it gets when undocked. Otherwise is just speculation

I'm using the 768mhz oc unplugged and haven't notice any battery drain. Surely the battery runs out faster, but not dramatically.

Ok been keeping of, but ok we can overclock at the costs of battery hours.
To extend that again though; are there any suitable battery replacements possible on the Nintendo Switch?
If so, and replacing is 'easy' enough ... then we could really boost performance.

Have not looked into that myself, but perhaps some people have done so ... please share if so :)

there are those "battery case" on amazon, basically it's a powerbank in form of a case, see this link on amazon
