Switch 2's battery life is worse than the original Switch

Nintendo has confirmed the battery life for its upcoming console, the Switch 2.

After a rather choc full Direct yesterday, which gave us a look at Switch 2 games such as Drag x Drive and Mario Kart World, a few more little titbits of information have started making the rounds. This includes the console’s all important battery life.

As shared on a separate spec sheet for Switch 2, Nintendo’s next console will house a Lithium ion battery, with a battery capacity of 5220 mAh. Meanwhile, its battery life is “Approx. 2 – 6.5 hours”. Nintendo notes this is just an “estimate” life span, and adds “the battery life will depend on the games you play and usage conditions”.
