Just got my battery + Charge Control IC Chip replaced today and I'm paranoid because I forgot what "normal" drain is on Atmosphere.

Switch V1

Latest version of Hekate + Atmosphere
SwitchOS 13.1.0

Hekate battery info shows
Capacity full: 3476mAh
Capacity (design): 4667mAh

Flight mode enabled, Bluetooth ON
Screen brightness ~75%
10 Minutes of playing "Kirby and the Forgotten Land" got me from 94% Battery to 86% battery.
Is this normal? Despite me having a new battery since literally today?

The switch isn't overclocked.

Not an expert on that topic, but I would guess after the replacement the calibration is off.
So after fully draining the battery and then charging it again it will probably be better.

So do I just play till like 0% or what?
yep, play it until the switch turns off, and then charge it while in the switch os.
I think for the best result draining it a bit further in hekate is recommended, but I'm not fully sure about that part.
 
"drain" word is not a running water faucet.
It just means that it will use your battery if its necessary.
imo its good
 
Comparing My Switch with a new battery and the Switch Lite to your Switch, it sound a little off but that's because I play from 10% to 50% Screen brightness. My eyes are sensitive to brightness levels and even my phone is at a lower level than others.
To calibrate your new battery, play till reach about 5-10%, then enter Hekate to reach 0% but without it turning off. then charge it to 100% in Hekate or the Switch OS menu. Though personally I prefer Hekate to be more accurate.
