    Hey, quick question for anyone who uses the Qinux BittOne with the TV output. Does the battery drain much faster when it’s hooked up to the TV? I’ve been playing mine handheld and it’s fine, but I’m curious if I should keep it plugged in when using the TV mode.

    I’d probably just keep it plugged in. Even if it doesn’t drain super fast, you’re already sitting near a TV, so why risk it dying mid-game.

    I mean, it probably drains a bit faster since it’s driving a bigger screen, but I wouldn’t overthink it. If you’re already sitting there with the TV on, just plug it in and don’t worry about it. Not really a big deal either way.

    I haven’t tested it much on TV yet, but I’d probably just keep it plugged in to be safe. Not totally sure if it drains way faster, but I don’t love the idea of it dying mid-race or something.

    I haven’t really tested it enough to say for sure, but I’d probably just leave it plugged in while on the TV. Seems like the safer bet to me.

    I think it probably drains a bit more since it’s pushing video out, but honestly I’ve had no issues just playing it on TV for an hour or so without charging. I usually keep it plugged in anyway if I’m near the couch, but the battery hasn’t died on me mid-session yet.

    I haven’t used mine on the TV much, but I’d probably just plug it in while I’m there anyway. Less to worry about.

    I usually just plug mine in when it’s connected to the TV. I figure if I’m already sitting there, might as well not have to worry about it running out. Works fine for me that way.

    I wouldn’t overthink the battery thing. It probably drains a bit more when driving the TV, but mine lasted through a few hours of old-school platformers without dying on me. I just plug it in if I’m already near an outlet anyway.

    I figure if you’re already sitting in front of the TV, plugging it in is just easier anyway. I’ve used mine a few times that way and didn’t even check the battery, just kept it charging. Works fine for me.

    I usually just leave mine plugged in when I’m playing on the TV. It’s less annoying than watching the battery drop and wondering if I’ll make it through another level.

    I’ve only tried mine on the TV a couple of times, but honestly I didn’t notice the battery dropping much faster than normal. Maybe it does drain a bit, but I wouldn’t stress about it unless you’re planning a marathon session.

    Mine drains quicker on TV, no question. I just leave it plugged in when I’m playing that way, it’s not worth watching the battery tick down. Works fine for me.

    I’ve only used mine on the TV a couple of times and honestly didn’t watch the battery that closely. It still felt fine for a short session, but I wouldn’t count on it for hours unplugged.

    Mine drains noticeably faster on TV. Not a dealbreaker but definitely not subtle.

    Can’t say I’ve measured it exactly, but it definitely seems to go down faster when it’s hooked up to the TV. I’d just keep it plugged in if you’re already sitting there.

    I noticed the battery goes down a bit faster on TV, but it’s not like it dies in twenty minutes or anything. I usually just play plugged in anyway if I’m on the TV.

    It’s fine, not really a big deal. I’d just plug it in if you’re gonna be at it for a while, but it’s not like it drains instantly. Works either way.

    I haven’t really noticed a huge difference myself when I’ve tried it on the TV, but I wasn’t playing for that long. Probably depends on the game too, some might be more demanding than others.

    It probably depends on what you’re playing, but yeah, I’d just keep it plugged in for TV mode. Saves the hassle of watching the battery.

    Honestly, after reading everyone’s replies, it sounds like I should just keep it plugged in for TV mode and not worry about it. 👍 Works for me, thanks for the input!
