Its hard to give specific numbers here.
Thats why I cant give you exact figures to the minute.
On Nintendo Switchtech specs,the time to charge is indicated as 3 hours in sleep mode.
Heres the table with the approximate time to charge in different conditions.
The machine usually reachesfrom dead to 1 percent in10-15 minutes.
But this figure is very much dependent on the health of the battery.
Also, it depends on whether youre using the charger or the Dock.
The Dock usually takes 2-5 minutes longer.
How long does a Switch take to charge?
As indicated on Nintendos official website, Switch takes approximately 3 hours to charge in sleep mode.
Above, in the table, I give slightly different numbers based on my experience with the Nintendo Switch.
In my experience, theSwitch takes around 4 hours to charge from dead to 100%in sleep mode.
But this figure decreases over time as the health of the battery deteriorates.
Charging to 75% takes about 3 hours.
How long does it take to charge Nintendo Switch before it turns on?
If the battery health is normal, Switch turns on as soon as the battery reaches 1%.
Nintendo Switch takes 10-15 minutes to charge before it turns on from the dead.
Like any lithium-ion battery, the Switch it degrades over time and loses its volume.
Its generally accepted that every year the battery degrades by 10%.
Also, the battery degrades with each charge cycle.
One such cycle degrades the battery by about 0.025%.
Seems insignificant, right?
But over 1000 cycles, the battery will lose about 25% of its life.
Again, these are only approximate numbers because a lot depends on how you use and charge your machine.
Can you replace the Nintendo Switch battery?
Yes, you’re free to even replace it with your own.
It takes around 15 minutes and a pair of screws.
