About charging
The system takes approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to fully recharge when o. Charging time may vary if the system is being used while charging,
•
or depending on the level of charge remaining in the battery.
Charge the system in an environment of 5 – 35°C. Attempting to charge the battery while the ambient temperature is outside this range may degrade
•
the battery and prevent it from charging. If the ambient temperature is low, the battery may not charge completely.
Battery life decreases slightly over time as the battery is continually used and recharged. After 500 recharges, battery life may be reduced to 70% of
•
the battery life at the time of purchase.
Make sure to charge the battery at least once every six months. Lithium-ion batteries can slowly lose their charge over time if they have not been
•
used for a while. If the system is not used for an extended period of time, the battery may become overdischarged and may be impossible to charge
when connecting the AC adapter.
If you feel the usage time has noticeably reduced, it may be time to replace the battery. Please contact Nintendo Customer Support for more
•
information.
Turn the system on by pressing the POWER Button. The power LED will light up when the
