I was going to post that the Switch is starting to make Star Citizen look like a good investment, but then I remembered that at least the Switch is a physical thing that you can use to prop a door open.

The reviewers said it seems to stop at 88%, so if this is intentional, it's likely because in the long term, if the battery always remains fully charged, lithium ion batteries lose storage capacity the fastest if they're stored fully charged. The overall lifetime of the battery is extended if it doesn't always sit at 100% capacity, so that's probably why.

Doesn't every charging system now adays pretty much stop when they are full and then kick back on after 1-2% drain? Like, no one else lets the battery go down 12%. And if you want to start pointing at charts, isn't the guideline 80% not 88%? (:lol: at losing 20% of your 3 hour battery life)

Also isn't that battery charging "tip" mostly Lifehacker-esque advice and for the most part not something consumers actually have to worry about?

Temperature makes a huge difference but Nintendo ain't including no active cooling on that dock are they?

And if that was really why they are doing it, why is it specific to dock mode only? And why not take this over-provisioning or under-charging into account in the charge display and just say 100%?

There's a fan in the Switch that I believe only activates when it's in the dock, when portable it's clocked down and doesn't get as hot anyway

Probably because if you have it in portable mode you're more likely to be using it when you don't have a charger so it charges to 100% and lasts longer idk I'm not Nintendo I didn't make the decision it just seems like a plausible consideration to me
