Hardware 3rd Party Chargers

[The Real Jdbye]

I dont buy accessories from a third party unless you cannot afford it or something.

Often you don't have a choice. Nintendo don't make a lot of accessories themselves.
Nothing wrong with 3rd party chargers as long as you don't get some cheapo chinese crap.

Does anyone know if either of those Anker charges can be used to power the dock? I'm looking for a second screen setup. Thanks.

That's true.. I am not buying some cheapo chinese crap.. I will find something else that aren't chinese crap. LOL!

My last couple of questions were over looked so I will try you seeing as you kindly linked us to your blog post

Do you think the Anker charger I own that I linked in the OP will give me the same results as you are achieving OR is the amps / volts / watts etc.. etc.. all totally different ?

Like I said before just try it... If it takes around 3 hours to charge or a bit less you are good and check when the battery is at 100% play a demanding game and see if the battery keeps always at 100% like the original...

If it would charge in less than 2 hours then it will reduce battery cycles a bit... Current Li-Ion batteries are still a crap compared to Lipo in terms of charge and discharge abilities, but they can't use lipos either on portable devices since they are too explosive and need more care...

Upcoming Li-ion from various brands specially Samsung will hold more capacity and will do fast charging with almost no effect on battery cycles...

I dont buy accessories from a third party unless you cannot afford it or something.

A power bank that can keep playing with the battery at 100% with like 20A is a must have for unstoppable play on the switch...

Now in terms of chargers I would only use the original one my self.

I've been reading threads like this for the past 1 hour. Still haven't find any solid answer if a qualcomm quick charfe adapter/power bank is safe for the switch. And what voltage will the switch draw from it.

it's a minefield, I totally agree with you

I have used the Anker charger linked in the op whilst in handheld mode, it charges slowly but all seems well so far on 5.01

Again, 15V 2.6+ Amps is the best...

5V chargers are weak and from what I read no matter if they can charge high wattage it seems Switch will be locked at 1.5A with a 5V charger so it takes more time to charge, can't use dockstation and it's not good to play and charge...

If you find a USB C charger 15V 2.6 or more amps buy it, but don't charge the controller's with it.

Ppl also claim those chargers with Power Delivery are the best (again they must be able to output 15v too). However I my self don't trust any of them as I can't be sure they will actually detect the exact voltage that the Switch needs also some report 16v instead of 15v...

Ps: I my self prefer using the original charger and I even wonder why everyone want to buy other charger for the Switch instead of just using the original.

You don't understand. We're looking for an alternative charger that isn't as bulky as the stock charger. We already know about the 5V output of normal adapters but for qualcomm quickcharge adapters the output is not just 5V, it can also give 9V and 12V. But yeah, I think I got my answer already, I just remembered as I was typing this reply, quickcharge won't work unless the load is also quickcharge compliant.
