Nintendo Switch 2 adds a feature that I want on basically every device I own: battery charging settings that limit your juice and reduce "deterioration"

A Switch 2 console plugged in for charging.

Nintendo has lifted the veil on another new Switch 2 feature that's looking like a game-changer for the new console, and one I need pretty much every piece of handheld electronics to start copying stat. You'll be able to cap your system's charge at 90% to help reduce the degradation of your battery over time.

As revealed in a new post on the Nintendo Today app, when you toggle this option on, "the Nintendo Switch 2 system stops charging when it reaches about 90% remaining battery. Pausing the charge at around 90% reduces deterioration to the battery. If 'Stop Charging Around 90%' is turned on, the charging speed will slow down around 90%."
