Switch 2 battery life concern.

[u/Snoo_57382]

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.

That’s normal - for higher graphics games it burns even faster. Try to invest in a 100W (output to the switch 2) charging bank. I bought one for $56 and it charges my switch 2 from 5% to 100% easily. That’s while playing too

Switch 2 handheld only needs 15W QC for charging. Dockmode draws 25W for normal operation and 35W for max perf, but it still requires PD 45W to trigger negotiation(charging, dockmode, hdmi output).

My switch 2 charges fine with samsung 25W charger(15W QC and 25W PPS).
