Is it okay to keep my switch in the dock 24 7?

[hidden cloak]

Title, I wanted to know if it's safe to keep the console in the dock for storing purposes even if I don't have it connected (so it isn't actually charging, just stored there)

Yes, it's recommended to do so. Make sure to plug it into a surge protector though.
And check our power/charging guide below to know the reason why it's OK to do so.

POWER & CHARGING GUIDE

• What cable can I use to charge the Switch?
Any decent quality cable from a well-known brand can work but what you also need to worry about is the power supply, A.K.A. the charger.

• What charger/power bank can I use with the Switch?
A Switch compatible charger/powerbank need to have Power Delivery (PD) standard (PPS is part of PD), and output of 5V/1.5A. This is only to charge in handheld mode.

**⚠︎ Warning for dock mode **
Using a low quality power supply can damage your Switch in dock mode. Compatibility is also quite sketchy, even with correct power output (15V/2.6A~3A). Aside from confirmed chargers/powerbank in our recommendation list, It's best to use the original AC Adapter for dock mode.

Thank you for the info! My real question though, was if it's okay to keep it in my dock without anything else

So like, no charger cable attached at all

[cedar oasis]

Eh for how long you want to keep it that way?

[hidden cloak]

Just... having it there

[hidden cloak]

Not sure, but I tend to charge the switch without docked mode

I might just not use the dock in that case, if it's bad

[cedar oasis]

If it's a short period of time, then not a problem

[hidden cloak]

I can't use docked mode/TV mode just yet

So I only really use handheld

[cedar oasis]

Yeah, that's not an issue then

[hidden cloak]

Ah, thank you for the answer :)
