I'm going over to the US soon, and I really want to bring my Switch and 3DS, but I'm wondering if I can charge them over there.
Here's some useful information:
I have an Australian 3DS and Switch. The Nintendo Switch AC adapter support 100-240V. My 3DS AC adapter supports 230-240V.
I purchased a third-party 3DS AC adapter from my local games retailer, and it came with the AC adapter (100-240V), and a USB cable. I also purchased a USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable for my Switch.
What I'm wondering is if I can charge my 3DS and Switch via the USB chords using the American voltage.
On the Nintendo Customer Service page, they mention to purchase an AC adapter in the country you are visiting (source: http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/general/rechargeable...
Is that necessary for the 3DS if I have a USB charging cable? I really don't want to blow up my 3DS or my Switch.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
