    Battery drop too fast Nintendo switch lite

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to know what causes this, the battery percentage drops too quickly every 10 seconds I lose about 1% per 1%.

    The basic problem I had was the connector that powers the daughterboard and I had no back light, after exchanging the console turns on and I have backlight.
    The connector is very well soldered

    Now it's the battery percentage that's going away too fast.

    Test done :

    Test 3 different batteries
    Test with official charger and charge correctly in both directions
    No short circuit on battery management chip BQ24193
    No short circuit on the main 15 V circuit
    Constant voltage of 15 V and amperage also no drop more or less low

    Do you think that BQ24193 has a weakness? What else should I check?

    I am out of options thank you very much =D

    I need to know exactly what type of battery you have before I can give you some what of an answer

    But let assume that it is a 18650 battery and it is a li-ion battery

    I would do a very simple test using a automotive type of light bulb you will need to know what the amperage of light bulb is at given voltage so you can calculate the amp hours of the battery

    If it a nicad type of battery it is the same exact type of test however I would you a flashlight type of light bulb but you would still need the information that I explain earlier

    Now if the battery pack has more than one cell one of the battery cells could be weak you would need to test each battery cell not the battery pack for best results

    Now it could be the battery management ic chip failure of some type but I would check the batteries first

    I hope this helps you

    Could this be your issue

      Hello,

      Thank you very much for all the valuable help and I really appreciate it.

      To answer, it is about battery especially nintendo switch Lite and that with 3 same and new.
      When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, the percentage goes back to 100% or indicates random percentages .

      After checking the battery management chip which is tiny and looking very closely, there seems to be a tin ball in bad shape.
      At the ohm mode measurements nothing abnormal, no short circuit but some values around in kiloohm.

      I will change it for the little money it costs =D

      Thanks in any case

        Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
        by Bowline
        My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

        Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

        My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
        The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
        I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

        No LCD image after connector replacement – lifted components and damaged resistor (Nintendo Switch Lite HDH-CPU-02)
        by Tomylee
        Hi everyone,

        Sorry for the person who’s going to read all this !
        I'm on a Nintendo Switch Lite, motherboard HDH-CPU-02.

        While replacing the left joystick, I had to remove the motherboard to access the connector underneath. When I lifted the LCD connector latch, it broke (the plastic had become brittle over time), so I replaced the entire connector.

        During the desoldering of the LCD connector using hot air, three small components located just below the connector (likely 0402 capacitors) came off and remained stuck to the bottom of the...

        ASUS X571 no power : battery issue?
        by mkdj
        Hello everyone,

        Mark and model: ASUS X571
        Symptoms: not turning on. There is only the LED battery indicator working. The owner of the laptop told me this problem arrived one week after having changed the battery. He then managed to power on the laptop only once, and then it never powered on again.

        Tests already made:
        - Battery is charging when laptop is plugged in. The LED battery indicator turns white after a couple of hours of charge, indicating that battery is fully charged. However, laptop won't turn on anyway, with or without AC plug.
        - I have removed...

        Vostro 3400 (LA-K033P) won't charge battery, everything else ok
        by techfreak9356
        I bought a Vostro 3400 motherboard (LA-K033P) to upgrade over my damaged Inspiron 5593 (LA-J091P) board. Everything else is ok except for the battery. This battery I am using now is already a replacement one since I disposed of the bloated original one. Back in the Inspiron 5593 motherboard, the battery charges fine and is identified just fine. However, with the upgraded motherboard, suddenly the replacement battery is labeled as "Not a dell battery". When I borrow a similar battery from my colleague (which did not have replacements yet), it is identified and charges just fine.

        Nintendo Switch lite charging chip heats up and does not short circuit
        by fab13
        Hello everyone


        Small technical problem on a Nintendo Switch lite
        Here's what I noticed: the USB port has been damaged internally, with a short circuit on the power supply line to the small fuse.

        After replacing the USB connector, the short circuit went away and I can't see any other short circuit in the whole motherboard.

        When I charge the console, it seems to be charging: I get 15 volts and an amperage of 0.450 A.

        Then, after a while, the amperage increases to 1.1 A and the BQ24193 charging chip starts to heat up, as evidenced...
