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

The reason is that all the big brands are putting their bet on Qualcomm Quick Charge standards which is not compatible with USB PD hence doesn't work on the Switch. You may also be able to bring up to two power banks up to 160Wh or 43,243mAh, but you need the airline’s approval. First off - my bad, I mentioned the Moto G6 above, but I actually have a G8 (the G6 was my previous phone).

Android: LG G5, LG G6, LG V30, Moto G6, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S9 – Charges Switch while asleep. All USB-C chargers start out by supplying 5V with a 900mA current limit, then negotiate upward from there. But since USB3 has variable voltage levels, there must be some negotiation and setting of voltage levels on a per-device basis.

If the VID/PID doesn’t match what the Switch is looking forward then it never moves on to DP Alt Mode, which is what allows for a video signal to pass through. What’s causing the most consumer confusion is that we’ve grown accustomed to relying on the output markings/label of a charger to tell us how much power is sent. if you don't like to unplug it every time you want to charge the Nintendo Switch away from your dock, this ac adapter is a great additional charger for your Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite. And finally, I also tried some simple keyboards - both with that USB C dock, and with C-A converters.

The voltage of your USB-PD charger is not quite as important here, as the charger can support 9V, 12V, or 15V (you don’t need to match the Nintendo 15V 2.But the official charger with PD can charge super fast while playing Zelda, and that's why you should want PD. However if you do want to find a charger that will charge while playing, Nintendo probably has the best solution since most car ports are only 1-2. The console itself is quite flexible, accepting most USB-C or USB-A chargers that offer 10W or more. It is normal for the power draw to be a bit less than what the charger offers if both operate at the same rate.

That said, there's no guarantee that the result of that negotiation will be that the device charges as fast as it's designed to. As a practical matter, it may not make much difference because 18 watts is more than enough to quickly charge the Switch, but this will be something I keep monitoring in terms of an explanation.

Efficiency is an argument, certainly, if you're living on solar cells and batteries you would not want to invert 12V up to 120V just to drop it back down again with a USB-C AC adapter :-) .
