| SuperNova said: I'd be careful going with third party chargers, especially if you want to use it for docked play. Nintendo does not use the official USB-c power delivery protocoll, but their own proprietary one, meaning that a third party charger that is certified for the official USB-c power delivery protocoll and your Switch might not be able to properly talk to each other, wich causes errors and might result in it frying your system. It's probably fine for handheld play, since the amount of power delivered is just not big enough to fry the system, when undocked, but for docked I'd always go with the official NIntendo or Nintendo-certified chargers. I've used an Anker cable for about six months with my Switch in handheld mode and had no Problem, but switched to a second official charger even for tablet (non-docked) charging just to be safe. |
I read about this before which is why I am a bit worried. Another poster suggested the factory warranty . I will try that this week. I did get the Walmart one because I wanted to solve the issue rapidly.
