How to save your Nintendo Switch battery to make it last longer

 To make your Nintendo Switch battery last longer and extend its overall lifespan, here are several effective tips:

1. Lower Screen Brightness

  • The screen is one of the biggest drains on battery life. Lowering the brightness can significantly extend playtime.
    • How to do it: Press and hold the Home button to bring up the quick settings menu, then adjust the brightness slider.

2. Enable Airplane Mode

  • If you’re playing offline and don’t need internet access, turning on Airplane Mode can save battery by disabling wireless communication features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
    • How to do it: Go to SettingsAirplane Mode, and toggle it on. (Note: You can’t use Joy-Cons wirelessly in Airplane Mode unless you manually enable Bluetooth.)

3. Turn Off Vibration

  • The HD Rumble feature is a battery drainer. Disabling it can extend your battery life.
    • How to do it: Go to SettingsControllers and SensorsController Vibration, and toggle it off.

4. Close Unused Apps/Games

  • Having multiple apps or games open in the background can affect battery life. Always close out of games you aren’t using.
    • How to do it: Press the Home button, highlight the game or app, and press the X button to close it.

5. Disable Auto-Brightness

  • While Auto-Brightness can be helpful, sometimes it unnecessarily increases brightness, draining more battery.
    • How to do it: Go to SettingsScreen Brightness, and disable Auto-Brightness.

6. Lower Audio Volume

  • Lowering the volume or using headphones can reduce power consumption slightly.

7. Use Power-Saving Mode

  • The Nintendo Switch automatically uses a power-saving mode when it’s left idle. You can manually set a shorter time for it to sleep when inactive.
    • How to do it: Go to SettingsSleep Mode, and adjust the Auto-Sleep settings for both docked and handheld modes.

8. Turn Off Controllers When Not in Use

  • If you’re playing single-player games with detached Joy-Cons, turn off any unused controllers to save their battery.
    • How to do it: Go to Controllers from the Home menu and disconnect any unnecessary controllers.

9. Avoid High-Performance Games When Battery is Low

  • Some games require more processing power, which drains the battery faster. Play less demanding games to extend battery life when you're not near a charger.

10. Charge Wisely

  • It’s generally a good idea to avoid letting the battery drain completely before recharging. Lithium-ion batteries in the Switch perform best when you keep them between 20-80% charge.

By following these steps, you can maximize your Nintendo Switch’s battery life both in terms of daily use and long-term performance.
