[NS2] About the console’s battery…

Not directly related to #consolemods, but since the #NS2 is likely seeing far more action going forward, thought it was worth a post:

The console is a battery drain.

If you have a Switch 2 (or plan to), and also have either a charging hub you use more or less frequently, or a device that is also used more or less frequently and that has an unused USB/OTG port, it may be wise to keep the console plugged to it when you’re not carrying it around.

Also worth noting the dock doesn’t get energized by a weak (“standard”) USB/OTG energy output, like that of a notebook or Raspberry Pi. (I tried "<.<)

At the very least it must be a Switch 1 / Switch Lite’s charger to feed the dock, or keep the NS2 being charged directly on the USB port. At least with a second OTG port on top, you can keep the console docked while charging from it though.

Hopefully, however, now that the console has a homebrew enabler, someone figures out a way to optimize its battery consumption.

Still, hope this post helps someone. =)
