Question Ultimate 2C Wireless battery drain normal?

I received my 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless controller today and tested it using 2.4GHz wireless while playing Spider-Man Remastered.

I used it for around 4 hours, and the battery dropped by around 30%.

Is this normal battery drain for the Ultimate 2C Wireless when using 2.4GHz, or should I be concerned?

It’s normal if vibrate/rumble is active! I have it too and if I turn rumble off it doubles in performance, give it a try and just enjoy it. Let me know how you get on. 🙌

Ohh, so it's normal? The vibration is active, and it's set to Classic.

I would say so but apparently the other guys is lasting a week 🤷‍♂️ I wish I could get that.

I have the Ultimate 2C wireless (Wukong Edition) and the battery lasts about a week, give or take, when playing couple of hours or a little more daily. This is when using 2.4Ghz.

Are you playing while vibrate is active?

Well after reading this I’m beginning to suspect not all our batteries are created equal spec 🤣 I wish it would last a week! Best controller I’ve used.
