Switch sleep mode and turning off power.

Hi!

So I recently got a switch, which I have connected to a power strip, I just wonder when I turn of the power strip during night could it damage my switch if it is in sleep mode when I cut off it's power.

Thank you! :)

No, that won't damage it. That will (very slowly) drain the battery, since sleep mode =/= truly off. But as long as you don't fully drain it dead, that won't harm the battery appreciably. They probably shouldn't be plugged in all the time either, but I think honestly none of this matters in a meaningful way any more. These devices have smart charging circuits and are meant to be used in a variety of ways (played while docked, etc). So my opinion is don't sweat it. It'll need a new battery eventually, no matter what we do - and at that point we'll likely just buy a Switch 2 or 3 instead :-P

@xantufrog: Great :D thank you for the answer!

@knausene: oh thing it might do is come out of sleep when the power is cut (because it will think it's undocked). But it should fall back asleep if idle

Switch actually enters sleep mode rather quickly when idle I've noticed so you shouldn't have an issue with battery
