couldnt find another thread on this, sorry if its a duplicate

Today I noticed something , my Switch was around 50% and I docked it and continued to play for about 3 hours, it did not fully charge from 50, I know charging while playing is slower but would it really be that slow?

@ValhallaOutcast
Charging by Docking = Very Slow.
Charging in Handheld mode directly = Very Fast.
I played in Handheld Mode oftenly, so i can tell approximately 2.5 - 3 hours to charge Switch from below than 10 % until 100%.

@ValhallaOutcast It can be that slow, yes. In dock mode, charging takes lowest priority, and the system gets overclocked as well. It's essentially doing more while charging less, and the charge speed can depend some on how much the system is working. Remember that in docked, there is also no airplane mode, so the WiFi set is always active. I have seen mine crawl when charging from 17% to 40-ish while playing BotW or Harvest Moon. All this is my anecdotal experience, your mileage may vary.
