Why Are My Joy Cons Not Charging. The Joycons DO NOT CHARGE while the system is fully powered off. If the battery charge for the Joy-Con is approximately full then it is normal for the Joy-Con to stop charging and the recharge LED will shut off.

If you have above issue and the original nintendo switch your issue is most likely the diode. The Joycons DO NOT CHARGE while the system is fully powered off. My joy cons ran out of battery which was weird as I just finished charging the console and took them off to play Mario kart.
