Hacking Battery bug on 2.3.0

[Rauliki]

I have 2 Switches on 2.3.0 firmware. I turned them off (not put to sleep!) with almost full battery and after close to a month of not using, both of them had 1% battery when turned on. I haven't read anything about battery bug on that firmware.
Does anyone seen such behaviour on their Switches?

What was the temperature/humidity in the place you were storing them? If it was too hot it's possible that the batteries bled charge

Make sure the controllers are not connected. I have two Switches (with different firmwares), both turned off for a long time amd the ones with controllers connected had 20% left and the one without controllers still had 90%.

20-22C. I don't think it is too hot

Controllers were connected. I think I will buy controllers charger because that's bad design in ny opinion

Just keep em on the charger, it’s better for its lifespan.
Phones have this as well.

Just keep them (controlers?) on the charger. Its better for its (the chargers?) lifespan?
Phones have this as well (What, controllers? Chargers? Interactions with controllers and charger? Controllers that draw power all the time, even if the system is turned off? - Here are the answers to those questions: No, yes, no, no, no.)

What are you trying to say?

Its better for the controllers lifespan if it draws charge all the time - regadless if used or not? Answer: No.

I bought a controller charger, it's worth it so your switch doesn't drain, keeping the controllers trickle-charged all the time.

Some say if you use turn OFF feature it doesn't completely turn the console OFF... I don't own a Switch but I think those users say you have to press power for a few seconds so it completely shut off.

It's not normal to lose all the battery in just a month of storage...

That's why I think it's a battery bug. Why would joycon use so much battery from console if it's turned off? And as I did it on two Switches I would say it would be common. Does anyone know a way to turn off joycons before turning console off?

I don't care to start a new thread so I'll revive this dead one if you don't mind - My sister's switch battery indicator is now bugged where it charges fine up to 100 and is slowly drained and power is cut at 35%. Capacity is the same. I've tried to cycle it four times now but no change. When I boot it normally it cuts at 43% and on SX it cuts at 35%. Is there anything else I could try?

boot on hekate and do a battery fix?

 

[isoboy]

I didn't know hekate had a battery fix. I have to check that out. Thanks.
