Charging accessories are often overlooked until the one you rely upon no longer functions. But when you need to boot up your Nintendo Switch, and you don’t have anything to do it with, you’ll be vowing never to mistreat or lose your charger again. But what do you do when it’s gone for good? Buy another one. Lucky for you, we’ve got one right here you can pick up at a discount.
This Charger for Nintendo Switch is just $12.74 (down from $16.99), saving you $4.25, or approximately 25%. That’s a cheap charger you’ll want to grab, or even get two of, so you don’t have to spend time wishing your Switch was charged when it’s not.
A value-priced replacement charger for your Nintendo Switch
This 45W charger serves as a direct replacement for the stock Switch AC Adaptor. That means it’s compatible with the Switch, Switch OLED, Switch Lite, Switch 2, and even your Steam Deck. Additionally, you can use it with gaming controllers like the Switch Pro controller, Xbox Elite 2 controller, some USB-C iPads, select iPhone models, and other USB-C compatible products. One detail worth mentioning is that it supports charging the new Switch 2, but it does not support the Switch 2’s TV dock mode.
This cable is also unique in that you can detach it from the power brick itself. Having the option to replace only the cable versus the entire unit greatly extends its usefulness. Cables go out far too often, but you can pop in a new one if you need to. The included USB-C to USB-C cable features Power Delivery 3.0 and Fast Data Transfer, and it’s built with thicker copper wiring and laser-welded connectors. It’s also undergone testing for greater than 20,000 bends. It’s difficult to imagine a situation where you wouldn’t need to wrap your cable around items in your entertainment center, unplug your device(s), and toss them into a bag. So if you need to do that, you can with the cable that comes with the charger.
At $12.74, this is an easy buy for a secondary charger that can perform multiple functions. You get dock support for Switch TV mode, a detachable 5-foot cable, universal USB-C compatibility, and a reliable charger you can use whenever your items are running low on battery.
Whether you need a new main charger or want something to keep at home as a backup (or even something specifically for travel), you really can’t go wrong with a Switch charger for under $20. It may not be an official Nintendo option, but when it functions just as well, there’s no need to hold out for a brand name instead. Grab yours while you still can.
