Last updated
Ever wondered how you can tell if your Nintendo Switch is getting juiced up properly? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into how you can be sure your favorite console is charging.
Figuring out if your Nintendo Switch is charging is super simple, and you’re about to find out how.
Signs Your Nintendo Switch Is Charging
When you plug in your Nintendo Switch to charge, look for a small battery icon in the top-left corner of the screen. If the console is on, you’ll see this icon fill up gradually. That’s your first clue!
If your Switch is off or in sleep mode, you can still tell it’s charging by pressing the power button. A battery indicator will briefly appear on the screen, showing you it’s charging up. Easy, right?
