GN Version 5.0

The following test used a fully-charged Switch.

- played Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for 2 hours and 39 minutes until a battery warning popped up
- the battery was at 1% when the warning popped up
- you could get another 9 minutes of playtime before the Switch entered sleep mode
- the default brightness setting was used
- the Switch needed four minutes of charging time before it could be turned on again
- after one hour of charging, the system’s battery power was at 45%
- it took 2 hours and 11 minutes to charge the battery to 90%
- it took 3 hours and 4 minutes until the battery was at 100%

Thanks to VGAMER for the heads up!
