[QUOTE="Rasa39, post: 8634684, member: 369983"] So I know this probably isn't a big issue for most people, but I've recently started using the switch in handheld mode more often and I've noticed that the joycons are constantly fully charged from the main unit. This is really annoying now that I've noticed it, as I use a pro controller in docked mode, I never need the joycons to be charged at all when undocked as the switch will certainly die before they do, then it's back to docked mode charging for all 3 batteries. (I mostly move around the house so the dock is nearby) According to Nintendo the switch is not supposed to power the joycons on handheld mode if it is low on battery, but mine seems to charge regardless.[SPOILER="Nintendo UK"][ATTACH=full]166830[/ATTACH][/SPOILER] I always have 100% charged joycons even if my battery is 5%. Being from the UK means I have a 3 pin power adapter which is chunky af, so even if I got a second charger for my switch (rip off at £25) it wouldn't be very portable and I don't want to mess about with third party chargers/battery packs when I just want a little more time in handheld, which I feel could be had if the unit wasn't constatly charging the joycons. Is this common and is there any homebrew solution that I'm not aware of? (my searches mostly find people complaining about lack of charging, rather than my issue), appreciate any help. I updated the system to 7.0.1 yesterday and just noticed there is a new controller update, so I'm hoping this fixes things but no guarantees. [/QUOTE]
