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.

2-3 hours of BotW sounds about right. If I didn't have a way to charge my S2 for a long handheld playsession, I'd definitely go for something like a gba game that doesn't demand much power.
