I was using my switch and it started to turn itself off. It shows a low battery symbol, but the battery is around 25%. What can I do to solve this?

Those are all signs of a lithium battery at the end of its life. You get these sudden voltage drops going from 30% to just a few %.
The percentage remaining indicator is not absolute science.
They measure the voltage and calculate the percentage for the voltage.

The Switch shuts itself down because if it would suddenly turn of while writing to the SD or internal memory, you might end up with some memory corruption. Especially with exFat formatted SD cards.

i mean if there is a voltage drop on lower than 30% don't think it shuts down because of your data security measurements :D.

    It would be funny to pick up a girl in a real expensive car, then next date show up in a piece o shit car just to see her reaction. If she was real, it wouldn't matter.

    Everyone is disposable and replaceable, lies and deception are the coin of the realm. I have never felt so alone and so at odds with the world.
