Nintendo Switch 2 owners will get a little help preserving the battery life of the new console thanks to a new optional setting that will stop the battery from charging once it reaches "around 90%." The new feature was revealed in the Nintendo Today app.

"The Nintendo Switch 2 system stops charging when it reaches about 90% remaining battery" with the new setting turned on. The new setting is literally called 'Stop Charging around 90%,' which Nintendo says will slow down charging speeds at that point.
