Nintendo is recommending that Switch 2 owners turn on a “Stop Charging Around 90%” setting to prevent the system’s battery from deteriorating as fast. The company shared the news–and an in-depth video explaining where to find the new setting–in a recent Nintendo Today post.

Recently, Nintendo has been sharing system setting-related videos on its daily news app, including one showcasing the use of mouse controls on the home screen. The latest one highlights the Stop Charging Around 90% feature of Switch 2, with Nintendo explaining that “pausing the charge at around 90% reduces deterioration to the battery.” A video showcasing how to turn on the feature was also included, and has since been shared by industry insider Stealth40K on X.

If you plan on frequently playing your Switch 2 over the long term, this is definitely a feature you should be aware of. Keeping the system’s battery healthy is important if you want to maximize your handheld mode play time. Currently, Nintendo says the Switch 2’s battery life lasts between two to six-and-and-a-half hours, depending on what games are being played. Nintendo also said the system will take three hours to charge, although that may be a bit shorter if this specific new setting is turned on.

Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, and those looking to secure a console should keep an eye on GameSpot’s preorder guide.
