Hello!,

I have a question regarding the battery life of the switch when playing in handled mode : what is the best way to "preserve" the life of the battery between these 2 options? :

-Is it better to let the alim cable pluged in all the time when playing so the battery just goes betwseen like 90-94% too 100% (since i use it almost every day, when i put it out of sleep, it is at 90-94%). But maybe it is not good in the long run to play with the cable always put in while the battery is at 100%?

-The other method is the one i have been using until now with no problem : only putting the cable to recharge the battery to 100%when the percentage is let's say sub 50, 40 %. But maybe this method uses the battery faster since it goes from 40% too 100 (and no from 90 to 100 with the previous method) and less good in the long run?

So, is there a way better than the other or both are ok? Or maybe there is something even better?!

Thank you!

As far as I know, keeping the able plugged in all the time is the best way to kill your battery.

thank you for your answer
When i said all the time, it meant while playing/using the console of course (i edited the title to be more clear)
i only put the cable when using the switch.
While i don't use the switch and the switch is in sleep mode, the cable is not plugged in^^

So it is better to not always play with the cable pluged in, regardless of the %?
