Great charger kit for Switch!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely recommend this kit if you plan on traveling for a while and intend to play on your Nintendo Switch. The cord can plug into any USB output, which let me charge my Switch via Battery pack. This was an impulse buy before a road trip and was so worth the price as it was on sale when I bought it.

Great supplement to your USB-C devices
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This power Pack simply works. I do wonder why Insignia marketed it for the Nintendo since it works with all of my USB-C devices, including my phone, headset, tablet and even prolong my 2-1 laptop's battery life while in use. I see that some people have had some issues in using this with the Nintendo dock. This charger kit is not intended for that purpose as the wattage to power-up the dock is much higher, so it is to be used on the Switch in portable mode only. I also saw that some folks complain that it does not charge while playing. Thankfully this hasn't been the case for me. As far as the car charger, it has worked well. It has not had any connection or plug issues and stays well put. I have had issues with other car chargers where the "head" pops out or the "wings" lose their extension and keeping it on the lighter becomes a problem. One big plus is the long 6.5 ft. cord. I can place the device I am charging away from the outlet (like on a nightstand), play the Switch on the couch or bed, or have someone in the backseat of the car use the device while plugged in. I just hope that the construction holds up as it can seem that it is a bit cheap -especially the car charger. However, I think the price is reasonable for the versatility and functionality you get.

Just Get It
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is *so* convenient. I honestly was just too lazy to keep unplugging the charger from my dock because I'd have to move my whole tv stand to reach it so I gave in and bought this. I already ha a Nintendo brand car charger from a previous road trip, but I wanted one that wasn't just a wall charger only so I got this one! Like I said, so convenient to have when I'm going to other people's houses and need to charge my Switch. It fits perfectly in my Switch case too so it's not a hassle to carry around either.

Grrrreat accessory for the traveling gamer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hard to find any usb-c chargers for this price, let alone with a decent length usb-c cable and a lighter adapter. Any of these can be used for any charging need - not just the Switch. One thing to consider is that the lighter adapter is round and interferes a tiny bit with the use of a portable switch carrying case. When put in The upper portion of the case- with the console, I have to make sure it’s not putting pressure on the joy sticks when you zip up the case. Minor for the added convenience and portability.

This is beyond convenient!! It is amazing.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am excited about the Switch, but the battery not lasing for as many hours as I play it (lol) bums me out. However, this cord lets me play it and not have to put it on the TV to complete the game I am in the middle of. It is a long cable so you do not have to sit next to the wall connection to play. It is more than worth every penny!! And the convenience of having the ability to plug it in, in the car adds to the amazing-ness !!

Just what my Switch needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted another power pack to go with a dock I purchased for my son. The dock is more like a dongle and needs a separate power source and I didn't want to keep unplugging the original every time he took it somewhere. I purchased one on Amazon but noticed this while I was at the store and got it. It was the same price but included the car port adapter too! So far we have had no issues.

Great for tabletop use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this power pack because I needed to be able to charge my Switch while playing in tabletop mode because I don't always have access to a TV. It's does a great job at keeping my switch charged while playing at low percentages. It even charges it beyond what's being used by my games when plugged in. I have the original Nintendo Switch, and the heaviest game I play with this charger is Splatoon 2. I have not used this power pack outside my house or in my car yet. I don't use this charger to charge my Switch when not in use, but if someone did I believe it should fully charge the original Switch in a few hours.

Q: Questioni bought this ac adapter for Nintendo switch, but when i plug it in it says please make sure u are using the ac adater supplied with this console, please advise for i am very upset i paid money for something that doesn't do as advertised...
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yeah as it turns out this is some false advertising on this thing, it's a glorified USB-C charger. It doesn't put out enough power to actually keep the Switch charged while you're using it connected to the TV, so it simply doesn't work with the Dock. Best to return it and buy a Nintendo charger + adapter. It doesn't have to be the original one that came with your Switch if yours broke or got lost, but it does need to be the OEM because of the power required.
Answered by Alex
Q: QuestionDoes this have the Power Delivery (USB-PD) feature that charges the Switch faster? Is the AC Adapter thin enough to fit into the Sheika Switch bag? (about 7/8 of an inch)
Asked by anonymous.
- A:Answer no. this thing is crap. it does 5V @ 2.1A only via the wallwart and car adapter. don't try to fit it in your bag- get a different product.
