How can we expect the industry giants to push for better battery lives when the community is so complacent with existing performances? Personally, I think 3 hours is too short. I've been on four hour flights before, and I wouldn't be able to play Zelda for the entire trip if I wanted to. Nevermind adding the time it takes to taxi from the airport to wherever you're going.

I do believe battery life should be well beyond three hours, but we'll never get there if we're just going to be apologists for issues rather than considering more could be better.

You realize you can plug any portable battery USB-C pack onto your Switch, right? Do you have any other device that lets you play intensive 3D games for 4 hours straight? 

I know what my options are, but what I'm saying is that it is something that can be improved, but the companies won't improve it unless the customers demand it.  You shouldn't have to care around extra parts to get basic functionality away from an outlet for a portable device.
