The Nintendo Switch 2 is packing a hefty collection of improvements over its predecessor, including better visuals, improved performance, and more. However, like the original Switch, Nintendo’s follow-up console is a hybrid device, which means it can be detached from its dock and played in handheld mode whenever you want to take it on the go. As such, you’ll need to monitor its battery to ensure you have enough juice to get through a gaming session on the go. Good news: We have a few tips to help you improve the battery life of your Switch 2, allowing you to play for longer.
How to improve Switch 2 battery life
While most of these are common-sense solutions to your problem, one of them involves utilizing a special feature that Switch 2 offers. It addresses your Switch 2’s battery on a longer timeline rather than your next play session, so it’s a bit different than the other tips here, but still helpful from a different angle.
It’s also worth noting that the game you are playing may be more or less demanding of the Switch 2’s battery, so don’t be surprised if using even all of these tips still nets variable results when you’re playing Switch 2.
