Without going into a lot of technical detail, the GoPower brand ones I linked are very good, but a "Pure Sine Wave" inverter would be best, however the price goes WAY up ($148) and for the Switch a pure sine wave really isn't needed. I'm just trying to help people looking for solving the problem of taking road trips with their Laptop/Nintendo Switch/other electronics. And you can plug a power strip into the inverter's outlet to plug in more things at a time, just try to keep it under 175 Watts or you will blow the cigarette lighter fuse in your car.Įfficiency is an argument, certainly, if you're living on solar cells and batteries you would not want to invert 12V up to 120V just to drop it back down again with a USB-C AC adapter :-). However, please understand that an inverter that plugs into the 12V "Cigarette" port can not pull enough current to power most power tools or anything that heats like a coffee maker, curling iron, hair dryer. You are also giving yourself the flexibility of an AC plug and not just a USB-C, so you can use it for other things as well. If you think outside the box a little, you can add a good quality power inverter, such as /dp/B00153BH6M or /dp/B001539B7OĪnd then use the AC adapter that came with the Switch, or a good quality AC adapter known to be PD-compatible with the Switch, like /gp/product/B01LX063QN In a vehicle, you would tend to not need the compactness of one small cigarette lighter adapter that can reliably power the Switch using USB-C Power Delivery at 18 watts. So someone help me make sense of this beast is it powered by 5 volts or 15 volts, and if its 5 volts then why does it say input of 15 volts? Any that offers it up to 7.5W or better will keep up with the most demanding conditions. Now a normal USB-C connector would only seem to have 5 volts going through it not 15 volts. The reduced power usage means the Switch Lite can charge while playing with a wider assortment of chargers. Then I see the car chargers are going to have 5 volts, so how is that suppose to charge a 15 volt system? its like what the heck is going on is this system 5 volts or 15 volts? Why is this so confusing? Now any idiot would know that if you put 15 volts into a 5 volt charger is going to blow it up and if you put 5 volts into the 15 volt port its simply not going to work, and would actually probably be more damaging to the unit rather than just putting in the voltage it calls for. Then I read no 5 volts is the charging rate and 15 volts to like use it with the dock. Now as I read it takes the 15 volts to actually charge the system and 5 Volts for something else. On the power adapter it says it outputs 2 different voltages one output of 5 Volts 1.5 A and a second of 15 Volts 2.6 A. The Nintendo Switch says on the back of it that the input is 15volts. Ok I got a brilliant question for our techy community out there.
