We have a first look at the new Nintendo Switch 2 model that just released in Europe, which allows users to easily replace the console’s battery. This comes courtesy of YouTuber Nintendúo. Up until now, it wasn’t very easy to replace Nintendo Switch 2’s battery if that was something you wanted to do. But with new battery regulations coming to...
That’s just a couple screws, right?
They could have made them more accessible, I agree, but nowadays even simple AA/AAA-operated toys tend to lock their battery compartment with a screw.
I’ve had to open a switch 1 to replace the fan. That was quite a bite more annoying, with many more screws and tiny connectors to unplug and plug again. At least no soldering, but, I hope I don’t need that again on my 2 any time soon.
Locking the battery behind a screw has been a thing forever. For the switch though, you have to pull the casing apart, which is a little more involves than most people are used to. Additionally it’s a corded connection, not just slotting a battery in, I don’t think that’s a big deal, but probably not something most people have worked with.
