Switch turning off randomly

[PeterL29]

I was using my switch and it started to turn itself off. It shows a low battery symbol, but the battery is around 25%. What can I do to solve this?

Not sure if you solved, but sounds like you need a new battery?

yea looks like a good idea he can show us some of the hekate battery readings also

i think there was a homebrew app which appearently can fix it.

Those are all signs of a lithium battery at the end of its life. You get these sudden voltage drops going from 30% to just a few %.
The percentage remaining indicator is not absolute science.
They measure the voltage and calculate the percentage for the voltage.

The Switch shuts itself down because if it would suddenly turn of while writing to the SD or internal memory, you might end up with some memory corruption. Especially with exFat formatted SD cards.

i mean if there is a voltage drop on lower than 30% don't think it shuts down because of your data security measurements .
