Will be out of my place for the day, I might play for some time and I’m just thinking of a temporary solution to charge my switch.

Thanks!

It’s not about just wattage, it’s also about whether the charger supports the same power scheme as the original one

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.

Look at the output number here

#

The lowest is 5V-2A, so it doesn't have the exact 5V-1A the Switch need.

#

And beside, it has no Power Delivery support

#

so that's a no @cunning elm

late response but i started charging my switch with a laptop charger (lenovo) and a couple days later the wifi chip burnt out so idk if that has a correlation to each other but be wary
