Hi everyone! I wanted to ask if anyone experienced issues like this with theri New 2DS LL/XL.

So one day I noticed that my 2DS is going low on battery so I plugged it to charging though what was wierd was that console was looking like it's not charging and was stuck at 1%. At first I though it was issue with charging cable so I replaced with new one and still not charging. Then I did like force hard reboot (long power push) and subenly battery is at 99%. Did anything like this happened to anyone?

Yes it shouldn't destroy them right away, especially if they're new. But if you already have doubts about the battery's life or monitoring, discharging it fully can make things worse, because that's just how that chemical process works.

Normally the monitoring gets reset fully by charging the battery and leaving it on the charger for a few hours. Which is why people don't encounter errors too often, since most charge things overnight.

It's known that Ninty uses some damn good batteries in the DS-3DS so they tend to fine with discharging, but it's not a good general advice.
