Ever found yourself wanting to play your Nintendo Switch, but realized you left your charger at a friend’s house? Fear not, there’s a solution! We’re diving into how you can keep your gaming going without the official charger.

So, what do you do when you need to charge your Nintendo Switch but the charger is nowhere to be found? Let’s find out.

Quick Ways to Power Up

First things first, you can use any USB Type-C cable to charge your Nintendo Switch. This is the same type of cable that many smartphones use. Just plug one end into your Switch and the other into a USB power source, like a computer or a power bank.

If you have a device with a USB Type-C port, like certain laptops, you could also use that as a power source for your Nintendo Switch. Just connect the two with a USB Type-C cable, and you should be good to go!
