Hi all,
I'm using my PINENG powerbank and Huawei P9 USB-C chargers. So far no issues, but I'm worries that this will damage my Switch.
Can anyone share if you had a problem and how did you get it fixed?

Thanks!

The problem is with the dock. I dont think normal chargers have issues. But PINeNg powerbank better not. Try to get a PD standard compliant powerbank....expensive though.

Seems like Nintendo is advising to use either their own charger or at least use the original USB C cable that comes with the Pro Controller only. Cables must be 56k Ohm compliant

56kOhm compliant cables are hard to find. I only know Anker. But this is only for USB A to C.

If it's USB-C to USB-C, there is no need for 56K ohm compliant. Basically, if chargin from USB C to C with a good branded charger, it's much safer and one less worry.

Exactly, where to find 56k Ohm cables? I practically never heard of it before reading this article.

maybe what Nintendo meant is for charging the dock needs 56k ohm. try it with rm10 usb type c cable from ustaz & it failed.
my phone charger is 5v/2a is a bit higher than when you direct charge the switch with charger. 5v/1.5a. deswai I thought can work
does the dock somehow can ask charger to supercharge when its dock. coz there's 5v/1.5a & 15v/2.6a output

Can buy online. I only trust Anker.

Can buy from unipro.my

You can also find them on Lazada and 11street as well.

Only buy Anker, even Aukey i am not pleased....got 1 Aukey charger....cable works fine with my Samsung S8+, but the USB C head wont fit the Switch! The other Anker cable fits perfectly on everything.

Btw, even Anker many cables. Make sure it states 56k ohm for USB A to C. Some of the models not mentioned.

Please dont. For USB A to C, there is a risk of frying your equipment regardless if its a Switch or Samsung S9. This is a design problem between USB A and C standard. Hence the resistor is to safeguard this. If C to C, then maybe you can use cheap cables (but UsB C cables are never cheap, so far i have seen).

Pls dont risk your expensive hardware with cheap cables.

Later Ustaz cable send your Switch to Syurga......

Switch Heaven

I'm using my Huawei P9 charger and cable to charge when I'm not at home with my dock. Should be ok right?

I still have another option, Huawei P9 charger + Nintendo Pro Controller cable, that thing is thicc
