Many Switch users report successfully using their USB-C laptop and phone chargers with the console, but given the possible consequences, your best bet is sticking with the OEM and licensed chargers sold by Nintendo.Ask a question Submit memes/shitposts Hide Spoilers Daily Question Thread | Read our Wiki | Join our Discord | 2022 GotY Results | Send a ModMail Though the original post was lost with the Google+ shutdown, a Reddit post archived an analysis of the Nintendo Switch port conducted in 2017 by a tester known as Nathan K., who said that it is potentially possible to overcharge the Switch console by up to 300% due to its failure to properly negotiate the power output it needs from the charger (via Switch Chargers).

There are also some concerns that because the Nintendo Switch doesn't fully meet the USB-C specification, it may be possible to overcharge it, unlike newer devices that were designed to fully adhere to the PD protocol. This could result in a situation where the power output isn't being managed well and that, in turn, could potentially lead to a battery that degrades faster or possibly even damage the console. Some third-party chargers, particularly ones that are cheaply made, may not have the right charging profiles to properly charge your Nintendo Switch. Put very simply, a charging profile refers to the details the charger uses to optimize charging the device it is plugged into (via Delta Q).
