It does not need to be the official Nintendo Charger, but you will get a much faster transfer rate with the official charger. I'm not saying you can't find another charger that could work better, but you would want to match the specs to get a similar charge. My wife has used her Samsung phone charger to charge it as well (but then she uses the Anker to charge her phone too.) Charging Nintendo Switch Accessories The Nintendo Switch AC Adapter is designed to charge official Switch accessories. You can charge a Pro Controller, Joy-Con Charging Grip, or Poké Ball Plus by plugging in the USB-C cable. They charge better than a phone as they draw less power. Each controller only draws up to 2.5W. Where as a modern smartphone wants 8-16W. That said, you should charge the controllers through the Switch’s dock. The dock has three USB-A ports, and each can provide 2.5W . The controllers also include the needed USB-C to USB-A cable. You can also recharge the Nintendo licensed power banks from Anker. Those accept a 15V/2A power input, which the Switch AC adapter can provide. Other USB-C power banks with similar power input needs (most 30W+ models) will also recharge. Lower output power banks (15-18W) usually want 9V or 12V power input. The Switch AC adapter provides neither, and its 5V output is weak. Most low output power banks end up refusing the connection.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use any c charging cable. It actually comes with one. The issue is the wall charger power level. The Nintendo charger has an 18w charge. A lot of the new wall chargers deliver more than that. Check Anker’s website and they will tell you which one to use for this power block.
