But you can always carry a second battery and be at 100 percent instantly like the old days (2012)
Comment on Nintendo Confirms EU‑Only Switch 2 Revision With User‑Replaceable Batteries
CosmoNova@lemmy.world 1 week agoOn one hand I agree but on the other hand this EU version will probably have less battery capacity or even processing power as a trade-off. It has to fit in the same case and with the same components after all.

I‘m not sure if replaceable means that. In fact I am very doubtful replaceable means you can replace it like older laptop batteries or Gameboy batteries. It‘s more like replacing a 3DS battery I imagine. So no, very much not be at 100 percent just like in the old days unless you regularly replaces your 3DS batteries. Not sure why you would.

Well if the backplate is screwed in like the 3ds I’m pretty sure someone would make a 3dprinted design that uses magnets and is easier to replace. If I ever get an European switch I’m going to model that if no one else does

Real gamers skip the batteries and have their GBA on AC… Hoping mom doesn’t step on the cord and yank it out again.

When I was a kid I played Crisis Core on the psp but didn’t have a memory card so I just had to leave it plugged in and running for a week. I was terrified that it would be unplugfed to vacuum or something while I was at school.

All they have to do is not permanently glue the battery on. It otherwise would sit in a perfectly flush compartment that doesn’t even need to be changed.

Unfortunately you are mistaken. They can‘t just place it in there loosely. It needs to be mounted in some way. Right now, repair guides glue the replacement battery back into place as well so it‘s actually not something you should skip.

It sits perfectly flush in its compartment and then has a plate pressing against the back when closed back up. It really doesn’t need the adhesive.

That’s a cute idea but also naive. You voided the warranty the moment you separate the case to open that thing anyway. It doesn‘t even matter if it‘s glued or not and yes, Nintendo can tell. People do not glue it back together to trick Nintendo but to actually keep the thing in place. It will absolutely need to be mounted.
