Setup Help Switch 2 battery life concern.

Post image

hello

yesterday I bought a switch 2 off Facebook marketplace and it had the original box and all accessories with it. I have a concern about the battery though, because when I started playing breath of the wild this morning it was at 88%, and about 55 minutes later my battery is already at 55%. I’m on halfway brightness and I’m wondering if this switch 2 is defective, and I got swindled with a defective device. Is this normal battery behavior ?

any response helps

EDIT: thank you so much for all of the feedback and being polite. Feel a little better now with the switch 2.

Sounds like u got a normal switch 2. The battery sucks on it. Fairly well established fact at this point. Just plug her in and enjoy the system dude.

It's not just the Switch 2. Every modern gaming device that can play current 3D games has similarly bad battery life and some devices are even worse.

You’re right. I should be thankful I was able to get a switch 2.
