gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2026-03-19 01:06:18

Those making gaming handhelds need to execute a complicated juggling act between how powerful they are and how long you can use them without a charge. With a new screen and more powerful processor, players plugging away on the Switch 2 are finding it hard to strike the right balance. Nintendo claims users should be able to get between 2 and 6 hours of playtime from its 5,220mAh battery. Some players say that number is skewing far too much toward the low end or that their console’s battery levels

One researcher I spoke with at the time suggested that sodium-ion batteries might not compete directly with lithium-ion batteries but could instead find specialized uses where the chemistry made sense. Two years later, I think we’re starting to see what those are. One growing segment that could be a big win for sodium-ion: electric micromobility vehicles, like scooters and three-wheelers.
