The technology of batteries isn't the only thing that can improve battery life. Power efficiency of the chipset matters too. You may have noticed that every game on the 3DS drained the battery at the same speed whereas on Switch the values can differ greatly from game to game. Enabled wi-fi cut battery life of the DS roughly in half, on the 3DS it was a reduction of about 25%, on Switch it's barely noticeable. Point is that battery life goes beyond the size of the battery itself. That being said, I don't expect a big increase in battery life for a Switch revision, so not more than 1-1.5 additional hours. |
Fair point, especially since much of the system is basically a 2015 NVidia project. I'd be interested in seeing how the engineers pull it off.
