More is possible, but that number is kind of a factory guarantee. Modern batteries are rated for up to 1000 cycles.

Also, batteries work with charging cycles, and those small percentages of drain and recharge when in the dock almost never constitute a full cycle:ДЄ battery's lifespan is counted in cycles, which means the equivalent of a full recharge. Obviously, by constantly being partially re-charged, the battery will last shorter, but that doesn't constitute damage.

Had to re-read the previous comments to get up to speed again.

Thats the reason that devices you buy out of a store are almost all the time only 50 ~ 60 % charged.Д®dited on Fri 25th August, 2017 14:44 by You're telling me nothing new: I'm an IT-related sales & marketing professional and I also have quite a few connections in the smartphone business.Д«ut you're sorely missing the point and that was the original question of it being more damaging to the Switch and its battery to be playing a lot in docked mode, and the answer to that is no, for reasons I've already explained in my answer to the OP.Д«it of a late reaction also.

When a battery is charged for 50% it will loose only 4% of its capacity over a year with 25 degrees Celsius and 15% at 40 degrees Celsius. So its safe to say the battery will be damaged when playing in dock mode all the time. And thats without the amount of times you charge your device. At 40 degrees with a fully charged battery li-ion will loose 35% of its capacity over a year. It will get hotter then 40 degrees celsius within the device. While you play in dockmode the device will exceed this temperature by far. When a li-ion battery for instance is fully charged and is kept at a 25 degrees celsius it will loose 20% of its capacity in a year. Second of all the amount of charge is important to the battery life. A li-ion battery can be charged between 5 times. So every day you play 8 hours in dock mode you will lose 1/10 of a charge cycle. everytime 1% of the battery drops down the system will charge it again this means a device with 8 hours in the doc can lose 10% easily. Like every smartphone out there wich is charging will be constantly charged. But that would be a machine with a faulty fan, and any fan-cooled electronics would suffer pretty badly with a dead the battery will be more damaged in the dock. Those 'warping' reports look to me more like 'bendgate' (a warm phone held under pressure over long durations of time in a pocket warping to match the curve of the object (a human body) it was pressed against.)ДЄt worst, a possibly defective (warped dock) along with, maybe a defective fan so the heat was building up along the copper heatpipe and not being expelled could superheat things enough to do some damage. Getting steel to warp purely from heat is quite a challenge even when thin steel.

Pressure, again is more likely to cause that, in addition to heat to soften the material. Warping aluminum could happen purely with heat/cooldown, but it wouldn't even have to be particularly high heat. The system would not be receiving that level of force in the dock. Warping fiberglass with heat is pretty challenging, but it can be warped with pressure/physical force pretty easily. For it to get hot enough to warp, it would also have to get hot enough to warp the aluminum backing plate, the fiberglass PCB, and the STEEL frame.
