How to Charge the Nintendo Switch 2 Console
Nintendo Switch 2
Follow these steps to charge a Nintendo Switch 2 console.
Note
- Nintendo Switch 2 consoles are compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter (model No. NGN-01), as well as the Nintendo Switch AC adapter (model No. HAC-002) for charging the console directly.
- Due to the difference in power output, the Nintendo Switch AC adapter cannot be used to power the Nintendo Switch 2 console to use TV Mode while the console is docked.
- If you don’t have a licensed adapter, an AC adapter with an output of 54W or more can be used, but please note, unlicensed products do not undergo Nintendo's testing and evaluation process and may have compatibility problems.
- Nintendo Switch 2 systems require approximately 3 hours to fully charge.
Complete these steps
Nintendo Switch 2 can be charged in the following ways:
Directly with the Nintendo Switch 2 AC Adapter.
Connect the USB-C plug from the Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter (NGN-01) into the USB-C connector on either the top or bottom of the console, then connect the AC adapter directly into a wall outlet.
Using the Nintendo Switch 2 Dock
- Connect the Nintendo Switch 2 AC adapter to the Nintendo Switch 2 dock (BEE-005):
