I haven’t found this to be true. I’ve used 4 or more different chargers. A couple off-brand USB-C chargers, USB-C dock/charger, Apple
USB-C chargers, USB-C to USB 2.0/3.0 cables with 1A, 2.4A, 2.5A chargers. All worked without issue. In fact, I left the Nintendo wall wart at home (I usually travel for work) and just bring along a USB-C to USB cable with me.
- dathinab 6y agoYes only with either of following you might be in danger: - A dock, the alternate mode used isn't fully standard conform and prone to fry your switch. - A unlucky combination of cheap but fully standard conform charger with bad cable with switch.
- danhor 6y agoThe issue with docks were very non-compliant 3rd party docks which used 9 V for signal lines, which is way to high: https://hackaday.com/2019/08/04/the-not-quite-usb-c-of-nintendo-switch-accessories/ https://hackaday.com/2019/08/04/the-not-quite-usb-c-of-ninte...
- dathinab 6y agoYes in practice it's very unlikely to accidentally fry your Switch. Through wrt. docks there is some non standard compilant parts about switching to the "dock" alternate mode, maybe I misremeber and that can't damage your switch. Anyway if you by anything but super cheap potentially broken chargers in 2020 I would be very surprised if it damages yours Switch. Especially laptop chargers tend to work very well with it. Actually I observed (but maybe wrongly) that somehow my Lenovo think pad laptop charger does a better job when charging and at the same time playing in handheld mode .
