Compatibility Overview

Installation & Usage Guide
- Connect the charger to your vehicle’s power outlet (typically the cigarette lighter socket). The adapter includes a 12 V DC plug that fits standard car sockets.
- Plug the USB‑C cable into the charger’s port. Ensure the connector is firmly seated to avoid intermittent connections.
- Insert the other end of the cable into your Switch’s charging port. The console will automatically detect power and begin charging.
- Monitor battery status on-screen to confirm that charging is active. A green indicator or a charging icon typically appears in the top right corner.
- When finished, disconnect the charger from both the vehicle and the console. This helps preserve battery health by preventing over‑charging.

- Convenience for Long Trips: Whether you’re traveling across town or embarking on a cross‑country adventure, the charger keeps your Switch ready for gameplay whenever you need it.
Maintenance Tips
To keep the charger in optimal condition:
- Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures. High heat can degrade insulation, while freezing conditions may make connectors brittle.
- Store the charger in a dry environment when not in use. Moisture can cause corrosion on metal contacts.
- Inspect the cable periodically for fraying or kinks. Replace if any damage is observed to maintain safety and performance.
- Keep the charging port of your Switch clean by gently wiping with a dry microfiber cloth. Dust accumulation can impede connection quality.
