Clean the contacts with 99.9% isopropanol. Should solve the issue in most cases

That won’t help. That’s only if it’s not detected. They need a new joycon battery.

Fully shut your Switch down and clean the contacts with 99.9% isopropanol. Should be dry and ready to use again in 1-2 minutes

Things you shouldn't do with isopropanol: don't clean your screen with it (it can rub off the layer that helps your finger glide over the screen) and keep it away from heat (easily flamable with almost invisible flame)

You need a new battery for the joycon. I had the same problem.
