Can I Leave My Nintendo Switch Charging Overnight?

Last updated
Got a Nintendo Switch and wondering if you can leave it charging while you catch some Z’s? You’re not alone in this nightly tech dilemma.
Let’s clear the air: is it okay to leave your Nintendo Switch plugged into its charger all night long?
Yes, You Can!
Good news, gamers! You can indeed leave your Nintendo Switch charging overnight without fretting. The system is smart enough to manage its battery without overcharging.
Thanks to modern technology, the Nintendo Switch has built-in features to prevent battery damage. Once it’s fully charged, it stops pulling in power, so there’s no risk of harming the battery life by leaving it plugged in.
