Hacking Question Autorcm battery issues

[The14thfly]

So I've been reading different threads about what's bad about autorcm but no one exactly specifies what's bad about it.

My information currently is that it messes with your battery in a way where it can charge the console if you're in rcm mode but if your console is off, will it charge normally? Also does autorcm mess anything with you battery when you're booted into the cfw?

So does this mean if the switch is turned off it's gonna charge ? Or does it mean that it won't charge or will message your battery if the switch is off ?

Just wanted to report I can charge my switch when it's *off* while having AutoRCM installed. Apologies in the case someone else already mentioned how to do this.

While I'm in CFW and I want to turn my switch off and charge it;
-I hold the power button until I can select the "Turn off" option in the drop down menu.
-Knowing it's not actually *off* yet, send your payload to boot hetake menu
-Now once in hetake menu scroll down to "Power off" but do not press it yet
-Dock your switch
-Now while it's docked, press the power button to confirm the "power off" option in hetake's menu

Your switch is now off and charging

I'm confused how there isn't a reason to use it? I figured saving the wear and tear on your switch's pins is good enough reason - considering like i've said many times previously; after only a few days of doing it the pins on my switch don't even look the same anymore. I see no cons to AutoRCM when comparing to jig methods.

Ok, that makes sense, thanks!

Autorcm has a few issues. Mainly that there can be minor battery desync issues if in RCM for a long time and that the Switch charges so slowly with a corrupt BCT that it basically loses more power than it gains, or keeps the same level.

I wonder if tx has figured out a way to overcome this battery issue on their sx os
