Fix Switch2 Battery Display Issues: Accurate Solutions & Troubleshooting Tips
Is your Nintendo Switch2 showing wonky battery percentages? Maybe that last 1% seems to last forever while the first 99% disappears in a flash? Don’t worry – Nintendo of America has got you covered with these official troubleshooting steps!
🔧 Here’s how to fix it:
1️⃣ First things first – connect your Switch2 to the internet and update to the newest system version.
2️⃣ Completely power down your console (and we mean fully shut down – not just sleep mode!).
3️⃣ Here comes the magic combo: Use one hand to press and hold both **[Volume +]** and **[Volume -]** buttons together.
4️⃣ With your other hand, tap the **[Power button]** just once.
5️⃣ Your Switch2 will now enter recovery mode – just sit tight while it automatically resets the battery data. Hands off during this process!
6️⃣ When the reset finishes, hold the power button to turn off your console.
7️⃣ Power up normally – your battery readings should be back on track!
