Since launch, some Nintendo Switch 2 owners have reported about their console having bad battery life or showing the incorrect battery level.

This problem can be easily fixed by re-calibrating the console battery. To re-calibrate the battery, you’ll need to navigate to the Recovery Mode, which will automatically reset the battery level meter.

Find the full instructions below:

1. Confirm that you’re using an adequately powerful AC adapter to charge your console. The Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter (Model NGN-01) is strongly recommended.
   • The Nintendo Switch AC adapter (Model HAC-002) can be used to charge the Nintendo Switch 2 when plugged into the console directly. Due to power output differences, it cannot be used to charge the Nintendo Switch 2 when docked.
2. Confirm that your console has the latest system update.
3. Power off the console.
4. Press and hold down the volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons, press the POWER Button once to turn the system on.
5. Keep holding down the volume buttons until the menu for Recovery Mode appears. Navigating to this menu should reset the battery level meter.
6. Power off the console again by pressing and holding the POWER Button until it turns off.
7. Power the console back on and monitor the situation.
