Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster with an issue that has me stumped.
I've been using my standard size new 3ds for quite some time now, (Since late 2016 I believe?) and ever since I installed cfw I've had battery issues. I used it before installing cfw with no issues, and about 2 years after buying it decided to take the plunge into the world of homebrew.
Since then my battery issues have been pretty steady, I've replaced the battery 3 times and now even have a supposed larger 3rd party battery with the same specifications (except for mah capacity) inside it to see if that would help but it hasn't.
The main issue is obviously that the battery life is very short, but also that it will die in sleep mode very quickly. Recently, though, the issue that has me posting here is I will be using it at 3 bars (almost full) and then the light will go from blue to flashing red to dead in 10 seconds.
Any recommendations? I've reseated it, cleaned the contacts with isopropyl, made sure the battery is secure and not bouncing around, and nothing seems to improve the issue.
Oh! It also seems to say its finished charging after 2 hours or so, so I assume the battery is at least big enough to take that much of a charge, but would that account for the fact that the 3ds also says its full then randomly dies?
