I've update from 3.0.0 to the latest firmware as my battery was drain 1 percent every couple of minutes whilst idling on the home screen it's still doing this on the latest firmware anyone else had this issue
Did you mess around with Linux at all? That causes battery desync. If not, your battery is shot and will need to either have Nintendo repair your system, or go the cheap and fast way and order a battery and swap it out yourself. Pretty easy to doI've update from 3.0.0 to the latest firmware as my battery was drain 1 percent every couple of minutes whilst idling on the home screen it's still doing this on the latest firmware anyone else had this issue
Sleep mode and off are two different things. In sleep mode the system still uses power at a very low state.I put mine into sleep and it drops a few percent over night while off?
It shouldn't be a bad battery It was fine and then I didn't use it for 7 months whilst I was away with work then I've noticed it when I came back it was totally out of juice and I heard not to do that on fw3.0.0 otherwise you will need to recalibrate so maybe hats the issue
Ok I'm trying the Nintendo method first I've had it charged all night I've turned it off today whilst working and when I'm home I'll drain it to empty then charge it again and seeRecalibrate it by unplugging and plugging back the internal battery, it should fix the sync issue.
Ok

How soUsing the Nintendo method is risky and can decrease the lifespan of the battery which Nintendo doesn't state that on their webpage.
How so
It shouldn't take long to recalibrate though surelyCharging and draining the battery over and over again? (It gets worse if you have the battery issue)
The switch battery is designed to be discharged! Cant see how a full charge and drain are going to cause issues.
The only way to kill a Li-ion cell is to discharge to below the min voltage which the switch is unable to do.
No harm will come from a complete cycle![]()
