I expected (read: hoped for) a battery 10% larger than that. The difference between 2.5 hours and 2.75 hours isn't large, but the difference between 6.5 hours and 7.2 hours is.

Besides, I just want large batteries in all my devices.

I bolded what I wanted. That is not what I want (though I do want it, I'll see if I can find an equivalent in the Philippines for a good price).

Good lord, 4310 mAh. I expected something bigger than that on a 6.2" device.

Now I know where Nintendo skimped out, the battery. The worst place to skip out on.

That really isn't much smller then a regular laptop battery most are around the 4400-5200mAh. Oly the more expensive laptops that are larger have say 6000-8000mAh and generlaly they are a bulky design.

The difference is that they are typically at a higher voltage. For instance, I pulled a battery out of my mom's three year-old laptop.

6.2" Switch with (rumored) : 4.31 Amp-hours at 3.7 V*  = 15.95 Watt-hours

Mom's 11" laptop with 3 hour battery life : 3.35 Amp-hours at 10.8 V = 36 Watt-hours (rated)

You know, if power = voltage*current, then it follows that energy = voltage*charge. I know that I am technically wrong, because I don't want to have to walk you through the calculations necessary. Because, well, integrals.

* - what you should expect from batteries that can be charged from USB power
