I heard rumors that if you keep your switch docked it can overcharge it lowering your battery power much faster if you keep it docked is that true ?

 

[Adam Yaccarino]

Years no

 

[Mike Hernandez]

Just like any device, they all have a battery cycle. You shouldn't overcharge it to avoid it dieing slightly quicker over time.

 

[Ennis Cakir]

Most electronic devices these days can’t be overcharged. They stop charging as soon as they’re full.

That is a myth that only applies to really old battery tech.

 

[Tia Sakura Eastwood]

Nah

 

[Damien Hosea]

Umm... okay! Let’s use facts lol! The Switch is basically plugged in regardless so how would this be a true rumor?

 

[Branko Alois Stropnik-DeSantis]

CNN probably started that rumor.

 

[Ben West]

If it sounds like bollocks, it probably is

This isnt the dark ages.
Everything has over charge protections

 

[Zach Smith]

No. Mine has been docked since day 1. Recently started to use it in hand held quite a bit. Lasts a Long time

 

[Nathan Philip Barclay]

There's a point when charge is complete, charging stops. So no.

 

[Shayne Maldon Strawser]

No

 

[J.D. Hall]

As if nintendo didn't think of this..

 

[Francisco Ignacio Fuentes Arancibia]

No

 

[Andrew Schultz]

Just as fake as the dock scratching the screen...

 

[Timothy Murphy]

Yeah maybe in the year 2001.

 

[Christoffer Aasted]

If this were true Nintendo would issue warnings. Also battery charging and li-ion keeps improving

 

[Robert Montejano]
