Questions & Answers

The switch does not come with a power adapter, does it? For what do you need this?

LOL, my bird chewed up my cable and so I need a new one. There are also horror stories about switch bricks caused by third-party chargers and adapters. In my opinion, you should stick with the official version in order to avoid such issues

Are there any plans to sell the Nintendo Switch multivoltage?

has a maximum output of 15 volts and a maximum voltage of I use 6Amp. If it can charge with more power if undocked or at what amperage when charging, the question is, what voltage will it use and how much power it will draw. There are so many ports on the dock that you can use these or it could be for the actual switch console. I don't know if it can handle 15v with the multiple usb ports.

What is the purpose of this ac?

The answer is both yes and no. Using this adapter, the console can be powered in television mode by plugging it into the dock, or it can be powered directly by plugging it into the console for portable and table-top use.

Selected User Reviews For Nintendo Switch AC Adapter

I would not recommend it
3/5

You can get a cheap copy of the novel here. There is nothing original about this item as the description suggests, it is even old. The adapter is made in China at a cheap price. In contrast to the picture in the description, this is completely different. Is a fake.

The item is counterfeit or defective (does not work)
3/5

You should be careful when buying! My Switch is unable to be charged in TV or stand-alone mode when using this product. This charger did not work with my switch, so I unplugged it and replaced it with the one that came with it.

This charger has a smaller gauge of wire connecting to the USB C header than the charger that originally came with it. My switch charger came with the technical information smeared and blurred, whereas this one does not.

Also, the transformer part of the charger appears to be a counterfeit. Attached you will find a I'd say that is definitely not an official Nintendo product, and it does not work.

It's better than a USB stick Plugging in a USB-C cable Usually, a cable is used
5/5

Furthermore, it is safer This may be the case in certain Keep up to date on USB-related issues If you try to power devices through C cables, you'll find they are a bit tricky. There are many USB makers out there who are making bad products and making it unable to be operated if it is plugged into a compatible port. It's not as if the original USB was universal and everything would work just the way it should. It has even been reported that some people have fried USB-C cables A cable and an adapter to connect to a computer. This was my first time trying a set of five I tested my switch with an auto-review cable and found batteries running low even while it is My curiosity was piqued when I read about how many bad USB ports there are Considering all the different c cables there are out there, buying this adapter may not have been such a bad impulse purchase. It has been used again since getting it out and putting it back into service. I know it is kind of sad that I cannot just plug a USB cable in Plugging in a USB-C cable Any USB cable can be plugged into any computer If I'm traveling by air, I can either plug in an AC adapter and use that to run my switch or use the same cable to connect to my laptop. In the meantime, I am sticking with this until I hear of updated standards, or something better, so I don't want to damage my devices. Since I got the switch I have not had a single failure of this AC adapter - and I have been using it frequently. In light of my experience and all the information I have found out there, I intend to stick with this adapter, regardless of the Moreover, there are a few things worth mentioning It is important to start filtering reviews on Amazon with The Review Index if you do not already. Plugging the device in would be helpful You can either use their Chrome extension or paste the url of the product on their website. This enables you to prioritize unverified purchases, and see whether a high percentage of unverified purchases is 5 stars A review written by a spammer and rated five stars There are lots of 'pay-to-play' services that pay reviewers with hundreds or thousands of reviews for dozens of 5-star reviews Their accounts usually show an average review of 4, and they receive daily ratings of five stars. A rating of 75 stars or higher is required. I found out that most USB-based devices have low power consumption Plugging in a USB-C cable These cables on Amazon are bad products, used to make them look good by adding a few hundred fake 5-inch connectors A review with a star rating. There is nothing like Amazon - it is awesome Although The Review Index still has my favorite shopping destination, my experience is much better with it.

Despite its low price, this power cord will provide just as much power as cheaper cords
5/5

It came with my brand new Nintendo Switch which I intend to use with this AC adapter. Occasionally, I like to sit in my living room chair to play in handheld mode for more than 3 hours, so I searched on Amazon for a Switch charging cable. I can charge the Switch by placing it in the dock, but I prefer to play in handheld mode in my living room chair. Initially I noticed other charging cables that were a little cheaper, but I looked deeper and found that those cables didn't provide nearly as much power as this one. It was claimed that other ones couldn't charge the Switch while it was docked, but I tested it and it does charge the Switch when playing games on the docked docked in full 1080p. As a result, I recommend buying this Nintendo Switch AC adapter since it has more power and is the official brand. I found it to be just the right length at 5 feet, and it wasn't lacking in any way. This review was rated 5/5 stars. If you found the review helpful, please let me know by clicking the "Yes" button. Click "No" if you do not want to do so. Honestly, I really appreciate it when you let me know which of my reviews you enjoy reading and which you don't!.

The USB C standard is not the same as the USB A standard
3/5

This may result in the N switch being bricked. I was able to shed over a pound in just two days by using this product. In addition to the actual Switch USB, You can also get access to the NES Classic Edition Charge the N using the charging cable C that came with it. Turn the switch. The particular product ( Now that I have realized it ) was NOT charging my phone. Turn the switch. That's how I found out why I needed to see a neurologist. It took me two days of Nintendo support to solve the problem with my "Bricked" switch. Can you give me a specific example of It is the charging cable that is present in each and every You can choose an individual switch box or a "FULL USB" refers to a drive that has everything you need I. e. the circumference of the circle. A FILL IN THE CIRCULAR CENTER is the actual metallic part that connects the charger to the charging point without breaks. An optional feature of this product is the CLEAR break on the metallic end point toward which N would be inserted. The charging port needs to be switched. Voltage irregularities also contributed to the power outages. This is called a "Bricked" is the way to go. For clarity, I would like to say, "Yes"

. The USB port is the only way to connect your device A "C" cable is only as reliable as the point at which its metallic structure ends. There is an obvious line between the outside casing and the inside It does not matter what you're working on.

I give Zero Stars to you! This is the second time that Junk has broken after a month and a week
3/5

Here is the part about returns on Amazon that is unfair. The warranty period for cheap electronics is not long enough. This time, the server broke today instead of on 2/23 (when the return window was). In spite of the fact that he is 8 years old, my son does not rough house with his chargers. I will now buy something from a store, since this is junk. Nothing to see here!.

Charge your phone like a pro with this is what it is, as follows It was advertised that Nintendo Switch chargers are official
5/5

I have no problems with it. This review is necessary because, on Amazon, there are some sellers who advertise a product as the official Nintendo version, but in fact they send a generic, third-party version. The charger in this picture is in fact the one for the Nintendo system.

A second charger for the official device
5/5

A 5 volt charge is given to the switch. The following specifications are 5A / 15V A copy of the 6a output is provided. This wall charger is not as small as some cell phone wall chargers, but not quite as big as some either. A few switch carry cases won't fit in it because the switch is too wide. There is a smaller space on it compared to a post-it. In this real official charger you can play games like Zelda while it charges at the same time. Some 3rd party chargers can't do that. You do not have to unplug the original one from the dock when you have an extra, making it more portable.
