Why wasnt this used for the Switch Lite? seriously....

I'm pretty sure it was. The Switch Lite just has a smaller battery.

What do you mean?

The chipset is the same for both SKUs, but a bigger console can house a bigger battery. Same reason why the XL model of the 3DS had longer battery life than the standard size of the 3DS.

Oh I assumed both where useing same size battery....

Its just odd that the normal Switch version will have better battery life, than a unit thats main and only purpose is to be used as a handheld.
