Hardware Switch draining too much battery

Daroxx · Jul 30, 2020

Hi folks,

my switch is draining the battery way too much. This problem persisted already when I got it. I changed the battery and switched to airplane mode, but it is still the same. On stock 10.0.4 w/o any software installed it drains about 5% / hour in sleep mode.

I already tried the 100% -> 0% and recharge but this didn`t help either. Someone wrote smth about a de-sync option in hekate, but would this help for my problem (I read this option is for switches which shut down at 40%).

Or is there anything else I could do or to even measure where the drainage comes from? Maybe there is even some homebrew to check the drainage of any hardware related issue?

I would like to know if you figured it out. I am having the same issue.

You can check the drainage in the hekate menu

Not yet. But I got myself a thermal camera in 2 weeks and then I'll check if smth on the board is getting hot.

Where do I find this menu? What does it show me though? I mean when there is a problem with a component I changed (or was destroyed from the seller) then I guess it won't go as deep as that?

Unfortunately even with a thermal cam I couldn't find any leakage or it might be so low, that the thermal cam isn't recognizing it. I guess I simply have to live with it.
Additionally I can't find any option in hekate to show any battery usage or consumption in certain.
