WUHAO Replacement HDH-003 Battery [2023 Upgraded] for Nintendo Switch Lite,Lite HDH-001 Original Replacement Battery with Adhesive Tape Tool Repair Kit

Product Information

While gaming performance seems to be identical – both consoles delivered a reasonably stable 30fps in Doom 2016 and Astral Chain – the Switch Lite’s battery life is ever-so-slightly improved, despite the 20% smaller battery. Nintendo suggests that you should be able to squeeze out up to seven hours of use on a single charge, depending on the game, compared to the original Switch’s 6.5-hour battery life under the same conditions. This certainly feels similar to my own experiences with the console – after a two-hour flight slaying pesky Bokoblins in The Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening at max screen brightness, the Switch Lite dropped to 72% from full. From a technical perspective, the Switch Lite matches the Nintendo Switch OLED. However, it doesn’t have as impressive battery life – averaging three to seven hours as opposed to 4.5 to 9 hours.

The Switch Lite is the best Nintendo handheld yet from a company with the greatest and most influential history of portable game systems, and that earns it our Editors' Choice designation. It just isn't a home game console, and you should keep that in mind when making your choice between the Switch Lite and the Switch. For Nintendo Switch consoles with a serial number that starts with “XK”, the battery life is approximately 4.5 to 9 hours. GB of internal storage, a portion of which is reserved for use by the system. Users can easily expand storage space using microSDHC or microSDXC cards up to 2TB (sold separately). But if none of our steps have worked, then it may be the console itself that's at fault, which is where Nintendo's official repairs service can help you solve the problem.When fully charged, the battery duration for the console can last approximately 3 hours. This will vary depending on the software application and functions being used. Important: While it is unplugged, verify that the original Nintendo Switch AC adapter (model HAC-002) is being used. The following games are unsuitable for the Switch Lite:1-2 Switch, Super Mario Party, and Nintendo Labo accessory kits. While games which require Rumble could be played with Joy-Cons attached, we found that trying to play with more than one person on the Lite's small screen isn't exactly practical - so we wouldn't advise trying to take on party games as the device wasn't built for this. If the battery charge on the system is almost depleted when the AC adapter is first plugged in, the screen will remain off and only a charging indicator will momentarily be displayed on the top-left corner of the console screen. Allow the system to charge for at least 15 to 30 minutes, then hold the POWER Button for a few seconds to boot it up.

In other words, it's a smaller screen than the original Switch's 6.2 inches, but with the exact resolution – so you're not losing anything regarding picture quality.In fact, this gives the Switch Lite a pixel density of 267 pixels per inch (ppi), a bit sharper than the original Switch's 236 ppi. The Switch Lite is powered by a slightly newer version of Nvidia’s Tegra X1 processor – codenamed ‘Mariko’ – which was first seen in the refreshed model of the original Switch earlier in the year. This new chip is built using a smaller 16nm fabrication process, rather than the original 20nm architecture, and is more power-efficient as a result. Its portable focus means it’s smaller in size, with a 5.5-inch display, which is 1.5-inches shorter than the Switch OLED. There’s a wider selection of case colors to choose from over the new Switch as well, including Gray, Turquoise, Yellow, Coral and Blue.The battery charge display will not be fixed immediately after performing the steps below only once. It will be necessary to repeat this process several times. Complete These Steps: The Lite’s white buttons pop nicely in contrast to the system’s gorgeous color options — I’m especially fond of our turquoise model, but the system also looks great in yellow, gray and coral. The console’s matte finish adds some nice extra grip, and seems to be far less prone to fingerprints than the glossy, smudge-prone tablet on the standard model. For Nintendo Switch consoles with a serial number that starts with “XA”, the battery life is approximately 2.5 to 6.5 hours.

The Nintendo Switch console takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge when the console is powered off or in sleep mode. Charging time will be longer if the console is in use. Afterward, disconnect the AC adapter and allow the console to display the HOME Menu for approximately three to four hours. The direction pad on the left side is a significant change from the Switch, since it replaces a cluster of four direction buttons on the left Joy-Con designed to provide the same controls while physically matching the face buttons on the right side. The Joy-Con buttons are functional, but many fans of classic games bemoan their feel and responsiveness for precise control in 2D games. The Switch Lite offers a welcome tweak, since the mirrored face/direction buttons were designed to let two people play with one Switch tablet and two Joy-Cons, a setup that isn't particularly comfortable on its own and slightly downgrades the single-player experience. You may also find our information on the battery charge indicator not displaying correctly after fully charging the console helpful.

The Switch Lite (bottom) looks like a Nintendo Switch (top) in handheld mode with both Joy-Cons attached, but in a slightly smaller and slimmer form measuring 3.6 by 8.2 by 0.6 inches (HWD) and weighing 9.8 ounces. That's nearly an ounce lighter than just the Switch tablet itself, and five ounces lighter than the Switch with two Joy-Cons attached. As with most lithium-ion batteries, the console battery life will gradually decrease over time. After about 800 charge cycles, the console battery life will decrease to about 80% compared to the battery on a new console. This is normal and does not represent an issue with the console or with the battery.

Here you can simply drag the brightness slider to your preferred brightness. You can also toggle automatic brightness on or off, depending on your situation. To do this, you'll need to hold down the Power button on the handheld for approximately 12 seconds. On all models including the Nintendo Switch OLED and Nintendo Switch Lite, this is located on the top-left of the handheld next to the volume control buttons. Once fully charged, the battery duration for the console varies depending on model and on the software application and functions being used. In addition, the Switch Lite comes with integrated controls rather than Joy-Cons. While you can connect up to four separate Joy-Cons wirelessly, you won't get an additional pair out of the box with the Lite.
