The Nintendo Switch is attracting more and more gamers. However, some questions remain about the use of this portable console. Is it a good idea to leave the Nintendo Switch permanently connected to its docking station? We investigated to answer your questions.
What is the Nintendo Switch docking station?
The Nintendo Switch docking station is the element that allows you to project the games on a TV screen. To install it, the user needs an AC adapter and an HDMI cable. Thus, the portable console is transformed into a traditional console.
Is it a good idea to leave the Nintendo Switch permanently connected to the dock?
Are you worried about the life and battery life of your console if you leave it permanently plugged into its dock? Don't worry! According to Nintendo, the battery will not degrade or suffer any damage, even if the console remains plugged in after it has exceeded 100% charge.
Of course, all batteries have a limited life span and their charge cycles are numbered. At some point, they will stop working, affecting their life before they need to be recharged. However, if you plug in your Nintendo Switch while it still has power, it will be considered a partial charge cycle, not a full one.
In short, the Nintendo Switch's battery will never last forever, but leaving it plugged into its dock won't shorten its lifespan significantly. So you can continue to enjoy the many benefits of this handheld without any worries about how to use its dock.
