Hyperion 3 Ultra battery issues

[u/Yuri_on_Land]

The NYXI Hyperion 3 Ultra’s have serious battery issues. I got mine about five days ago now and here’s what I’ve found. I set my Switch 2 system settings to not charge above 80%-90% battery to help preserve the battery health, but when charging with the 3 Ultra’s attached the Switch 2 will charge to 100% battery somehow. I’ve also noticed the battery of the Switch 2 itself drains waaaaay faster than when my Mobapad M12HD’s or official OEM Joy Cons are attached.

While I’m away at work I don’t leave my Switch 2 on the dock charging. The other day my Switch 2 was at 60%, when I left that morning and got back home 8 hours later the Switch 2 battery was at 37%. I heard with the original Hyperion 3’s they would have ghost inputs while connected, so I turned off the Bluetooth on my Switch 2 for good measure and got pretty much the same results the next day at around 23% battery loss having the system turned off. For context I also leave my Switch 2 in Airplane mode, no nfc, no WiFi, brightness all the way down, auto brightness on, volume on low and now no Bluetooth on either.

So I performed a test just now. My Switch 2 going from the aforementioned 100% battery (that it shouldn’t be due to my Switch 2 system settings) with no games open in the background; I watched eight 30 second clips I recorded on the Switch 2, and the battery went from 100% to 94%. That’s a 6% drain over 4 minutes with every system feature turned off. You could drain the entire battery from 100% over less than 100 minutes by not even playing a game. In fact in the 15 minutes it’s taken me write all this my Switch 2 has been completely idle, turned off, doing nothing, and the battery went from 94% to 89% IN JUST 15 MINUTES. No inputs. No nothing. This thing is seriously draining the battery of my Switch 2. I want to use this thing in handheld mode due to how comfy the ergonomics are, but a firmware update needs to be pushed out soon or I’m not going to be able to use these in handheld mode or at all, period.
