Likely means that report of 5-8 hour battery life from NateDrake on NeoGaf (who was the one claiming Pascal based Switch) is probably bunk as well.

Emily Rogers who's been correct on most things has said the battery life isn't great, and with a 20nm Maxwell chip that wouldn't be a suprise.

A Pascal based chip wasn't just important for hardware power, it's very relevant to battery life. A Pascal based chip would likely almost assuredly run cooler/lower power draw. 3 hours is probably now more realistic to expect.
