Battery Drain Question (self.switch)

Hello All!

Little cousin just presented me with an issue he's having, and it's definitely not something I've heard of before. Just wanted to see if anyone else has heard of/experienced this before writing him off lol.

He says that he will NEVER play with his joycons attached to the switch, as it drains the consoles battery like, RIDICUOLOUSLY fast. Could there be some kind of issue with like... phantom battery drain with the joycons? Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing he's just trying to come up with an excuse for it always being dead other than having to say "I play switch way to much" lol, probably can ignore this post.

Could they be not properly connecting wired? Wirelessly connecting to the console could be draining batteries faster. Though I guess the joycons wouldn't be charging themselves.
