Hi,

I'm having issues with my switch battery. It drains from 100% to 1% in about 15 min and stays at 1% for a long time.

I'm on the following FW:

11.0.0
AMS M.18.1
I'm using AutoRCM and do the following to get into CFW:

  1. Inject Hekate 5.5.4 (using TegraRCM)
  2. Launch fusee-primary.bin (from hekate)
I have seen some other suggestions (such as the attached image), but I'm still unsure of the exact process I should be following.

This is what I have tried:

  1. Leave Switch on home screen until black screen shows up with red battery saying charge needed
  2. Hold power button for 25 seconds (to power off)
  3. Charge until 100% (checking by injecting hekate payload)
  4. Once at 100% I launch the fusee-primary.bin using hekate
  5. Repeat the process

I have done this twice and it still drains fast and stays at 1%. I also unplugged the battery (and re-plugged it).

Any suggestions?

Had the same issue and also the time consuming charge hasn't helped me either.

I think I have runned this battery fix payload which resented the gauge correctly : https://wiidatabase.de/switch-downloads/hacks/fusee-linux-battery-fix/

Don't know exactly but I think my fusee suite trinket also has an option to directly run this.

Thanks! I tried it out though (launched the payload through TegraRCM) and the battery is still draining fast.

Any other options?
