Even now that the Nintendo Switch 2 has finally released, not all of us have made the upgrade yet. The original Nintendo Switch is still receiving new releases, and it would take someone several lifetimes to play through everything you can find across its current library. The console has been around for nearly a decade at this point. If it’s still your go to, or if you just picked one up on sale after the next gen Nintendo console came out, you may want to expand your selection of accessories with this charger.
The Nintendo Switch comes with a power brick and USB-C cable used to power the dock itself. But if you plan on traveling with your Switch, you would have to unplug the dock and take that charger with you on the go. Getting yourself a spare will save you that trouble. This one is a 45W charger and comes with a five-foot cable. Normally it’s sold for $17, but right now, Amazon has it on sale for 25% off. That brings the price down to just $13, saving you four bucks.
If you want a second, you can get the two-pack which is also on sale. That one is 15% off, bringing the bundle down from $25 to only $21.
Amazon also has an option which comes with a 10-foot cable. This can prove useful for anyone who just wants a little more flexibility with their charging setup. It can be annoying to be trying to play handheld while plugged in, but the cable is taut. Also, this charger is certified to work as a replacement for the Nintendo Switch dock adapter. So by using the longer cable, you’ll might be able to better position your Switch and its dock while playing TV if the nearest outlet isn’t very near at all.
Wide Compatibility
This Switch charger is widely compatible, working with the Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, Switch Lite, and even the Steam Deck. It can bring your switch up from 0% to 50% in just once hour of charging. It also work with most USB-C powered devices including your Switch Pro controller, Xbox or PS5 controller, or iPhone. It can even work to charge your Switch 2, though it cannot be used as a replacement for the Switch 2’s dock adapter.
This Switch adapter is reliable and safe to use. It’s equipped with tech that can protect against over-charging, over-heating, short-circuiting, over-current, and over-voltage.
The cable is made with a long-lasting, strong copper wire. It’s been tested to last for more than 20,000 bends before taking on damage.
