Charger for Switch,15V/2.6A Fast Charging Switch Charger AC Adapter 5FT Type-C Cable for Switch/Switch Dock/Pro Controller - Supports TV Mode

Product Information

On the power/wattage limit of the Nintendo Switch, a compelling case for the Switch maxing out at 18 watts was set forth by AnandTech — the maximum output of the Switch Dock is stated to be 18 watts, so it would be reasonable that the Switch would not attempt to pull more than that, lest it causes an overcurrent situation while charging in the dock. So understandably, we are left with a tremendous amount of consumer confusion around how to pick the right charger for the Nintendo Switch. Multi Protection and Safe Charge--switch power built smart PD IC chip comes with CE/FCC/ROHS Certifications, and provides the over-charging protection, over-voltage protection, over-current protection, short-circuit protection.

However, please understand that an inverter that plugs into the 12V "Cigarette" port can not pull enough current to power most power tools or anything that heats like a coffee maker, curling iron, hair dryer. How much power the Switch requires to operate varies by settings, game, and even your location in the game. actually the deal with USB C power supplies on startup is considerably more complicated than that, and while they start at 5V the 900 mA is usually not the right current value. Also this same system can be used to charge a Mac Book, or any device running on DC as long as its in the range of the DC-DC adapter. For if you use it with a power supply that supports less than 2A (like a computer USB port or the Switch Dock’s USB port) you will risk an overcurrent situation which may damage your equipment.Definitely an improvement over the bad old days of weird-sized barrel connectors of dubious polarity, though. During testing the original Switch would turn on its fan, as it was hotting due to a larger power draw.

However, given the past several years of experience with smartphones, consumers have generally come to understand that a charger’s listed current determines “how fast it is at charging. I'm just trying to help people looking for solving the problem of taking road trips with their Laptop/Nintendo Switch/other electronics. The risk is that many cheap PSUs lie about their capabilities and/or are completely out of specification. So when the Switch says "I can handle 15V if you've got it", there's every chance that the laptop charger would respond "Sorry, I can offer you 5V or 20V but nothing in between" and they'd settle on 5V which is no more than you'd be getting from the iPad charger anyway.

almost never a thing, but let's take a data cable instead like you mention, for using the phone as a modem.
