* BATTERY DRAIN *
Is anyone else’s Switch 2 suffering tremendous battery drain when in Standby?
I have 2 Switch 2’s in the house…
I was playing DKB on Wednesday night, and put it into standby at 56%. When I picked it up on Thursday evening, the battery was dead. 56% gone in about 22 hours!
I plugged it in, and played it plugged in. It was at 100% when I stopped playing, and put it into Standby. About an hour later, I decided to turn it OFF based on my previous nights experience, and it was already at 94%.
This morning, my daughter wanted to play my one, so removed my sons one from the dock and played it.
45 mins later, she was done. I realised she’d taken his one off the charger, so went to turn it OFF. It was at 93%.
My OG Switch (launch edition) is hopeless with battery, so I’m used to turning it OFF after use, otherwise it’s likely I’ll pick it up in a few days and it’ll be dead. I didn’t think I’d be doing the same with brand new Switch 2’s.
I’ve had my one since launch day, and I don’t recall it being as viscous on the battery when in standby as it is now. Maybe 5% per day, rather than 5% per hour. My son’s one (although a day one purchase) has only been used for 9 days (birthday present). Both are on the latest FW.
Is anyone else noticing that their S2 is draining the battery at a ridiculous level when in standby?
