What is how to charge switch controllers?

Here's information on charging Nintendo Switch controllers:

  • Charging the Joy-Cons: The Joy-Cons charge when attached to the Nintendo Switch console while it's docked or plugged in with the AC adapter. A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours. You can also use a dedicated Joy-Con charging dock (sold separately) for more convenient charging. While charging, an LED will illuminate next to the sync button, turning off when fully charged.

  • Charging the Pro Controller: The Pro Controller charges via a USB-C cable (included). You can connect it to the Nintendo Switch dock, the AC adapter, or any standard USB power source. A full charge takes approximately 6 hours. The four LEDs at the bottom of the controller will blink during charging and turn off when fully charged. You can also charge the Pro Controller while playing, though this might affect battery lifespan over time.

  • Battery Life: Joy-Cons offer approximately 20 hours of play time on a full charge. The Pro Controller offers approximately 40 hours of play time on a full charge. Battery life can vary depending on usage and software.

  • Checking Battery Level: You can check the battery level of your controllers from the Nintendo Switch's Home menu. Go to System Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Disconnect Controllers. The battery level for each connected controller will be displayed on the screen.
