I have a Zelda Pro Controller that I purchased at launch last year. I stopped using for several months, so I had to recharge it fully since battery was depleted.
When I use it, the Switch shows a notification that battery is low just below 2 hours of use. 10 min later max, it powers off and shows a notification saying battery depleted.
The first thing I thought was, battery is messed up and I just get a replacement. However, this doesn't seem to be the case.
I connected the controller to my iPhone and it says it has 100% battery. Then I connected the controller again to the Switch, and it says it has full battery. While I haven't tested it yet, I imagine I would be able to play for two again, maybe.
I would also like to try to use it somewhere else, but I don't have like games on PC or iPhone to test it out.
It seems like the problem is not the battery, but the way it is managed via software on the Switch. The Switch is saying the battery is depleted, but the battery seems fine. I am afraid there would be something wrong with the switch since it's also a Zelda Edition, not easily replaced.
