Topic: Charging with a MacBook USB-C charger

Hi everybody,

I looked everywhere for compatibility information between the Nintendo Switch and the MacBook USB-C charger. The console requires 2.6A, while the laptop adapter only provides 2.4A. Not to speak about the other constraints (Watts, cable power capacity, etc.)

Although it's very tempting (left the charger home, almost out of battery and all I have now is a MacBook charger), I would never give it a try, risking to burn the console and loose BOTW game progress. So I wanted to share this post, and see if you have other feedback.

Cheers

Well it works!
Next step with the dock...

I am using my 12" Macbook USB-C charger to charge the Switch, it works just fine
No issues over a month now

I've used mine before with no issues. I also charge the console undocked with my Samsung Quick Charge charger.

Hello, im in same situation as yours.

but i did some research which said it will be not upscale the graphic when on doc mode. Is that true?
