Informal observed gameplay runtime, not a standardized continuous lab loop. Reviewed July 2025 after over one month of regular Switch 2 use, mainly handheld and also Joy-Con 2 grip play. Exact runtime connection, game/activity distribution, rumble, lighting, firmware, charging during the observation and individual-controller exhaustion endpoint are unstated. Setup cells are unknown and omitted. Each Joy-Con 2 has its own battery and one may run out before the other. Numeric 20 is approximate with about two-hour variation, not an exact result.
