The Nintendo Switch is great. The Nintendo Switch's battery life is... not so great. Even with two revisions under its belt, the latest consoles generally only stretch to around five to seven hours of playtime on average, and if you're in it for the long haul that might not be enough. While you could invest in the best Nintendo Switch accessories to help you keep your console juiced up, there are some steps you can take directly on your system to stay in the game for longer.
You can improve your Nintendo Switch battery life by essentially putting less stress on the system while you play. That means canceling background tasks that are taking up valuable resources (like WiFi and updates) while keeping everything as power-efficient as possible. That means turning your screen brightness down and switching off the sound. Bleeding as much power as possible out of your console comes down to making a few small tweaks to get everything running as efficiently as possible.
