Nintendo tweeted a warning, translated by Siliconera:

Nintendo shared important information about the battery life of Nintendo Switch consoles and issued a warning about the possibility of Switch batteries becoming impossible to charge if they go without charging for too long. The company recommends charging Switch consoles at least once every six months. This will reduce the risk of the lithium-ion batteries from becoming impossible to charge.

I think keeping them charged or on the dock too long doesn't help either.

indeed "overcharging" is also not good.
