i think you'll be fine however.. you'll want a Power inverter More than you do a USB to cigarette lighter adapter, the most USB Charge plugs give is between 1.0Amp to 3Amps 5v the switch gets like i think 15v something when on the dock? 5v will be enough to charge (Slowly) the switch much like if you connect a USB-C Cable to your switch n PC to charge. but it wont be enough to Charge n' Play.

I've got the official car charger and use it sometime and I also have a couple of 20k iiglo power banks and the switch is charged faster than I can drain the battery. No issues.
the OP may of been referring to lil USB Adapters rather than the official Car charger, in this case yea the offical one will supply enough Voltage to play&charge, lil car USB adapters will bearly provide a charge-voltage.

I didn't think to specify that where I'm using my car charger I've got a - 12 - volt solar cell panel and battery bank for the cabin and any usb car charger works. But I got the official one since I'm using the 3rd party one for other stuff. So....both works. But that's 12v out.

    I hate ordering stuff online if I can go buy it somewhere close to me, and everywhere anymore will give you a discount only if you order it online, bs. Should be a discount if I go pick it up, not order online.

    Makes it easy for incompetent restaurant staff that don't know how to hear an order
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.

    Most people that haul big tvs have empty trucks or know enough not to set it face down
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
