Feedback Switch battery draining too fast? -10% over 7 min ; 15% over 12.5min (handheld)

[Philliyxx]

Playing Octopath Traveler 2 --Airplane mode on, Bluetooth enabled, switch pro controller, joy cons not attached.

It's pretty bad doing almost anything, just went from 79-69% just sitting in hekate for about 15 min.

Idle in sleep no issues, stayed at 100% for almost a full day.

CFW 15.0.1|AMS 1.4.1|E
ReverseNX -- set to system
Sys-clk --profile handheld -- cpu 1020 , gpu 307 , mem 1600 , SOC 39C
Screen brightness right under half

Is there an HB app that shows battery drain similar to android? I know I have some other sys modules but none are active to my knowlege.

Any idea why the drain is so bad? I mean the battery is pretty old, but Hekate SS attached it LOOKS in good health to me.

Your battery only have like 50% of it design capacity.

Looking at "capacity full" your battery is very worn. This is normal with years of heavy use. Keeping the Switch on the dock when not in use will also wear out the battery more quickly as lithium batteries don't like being kept fully charged.

Thanks, guess it's time to just dock play more or invest in new battery

Capacity (design) is 4667mAh

Capacity (full) is 2159mAh

Yes, you are in need of a new battery.

Here is a tutorial to replace the OG and OLED switch versions.
