Do these hold a charge? We keep all on a charger, but red one says it’s charged, then warns and dies from 4-5 minutes navigating Switch. So we rarely use Switch, and can’t w 2 ppl. The original blue one and yellow pair work fine. null

Seems like the red one is defective. Mine last 2 days maybe a little bit more between 3 to 4 hours of gameplay minimum before asking for charge. Replace as soon as you can.

In my opinion, theres something wrong with the battery in your red controller. I would contact Nintendo Customer Support, and let them know what happened, and they should be able to repair it (hopefully for free), or replace it if it cant be repaired.

Sounds like you got a bad controller... I can use mine upwards of 8 hours with no low battery notification

Yours must just be faulty I would have returned it for a replacement. My grandson has never had an issue except when my puppy chewed his up lol. I replaced it and still no issues.
