I’ve been paranoid to do that since I’d heard that the switch charger is non-standard, but that may just be Nintendo propaganda.

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No, this is correct. The switch and adaptor use voltages that arent standard to the usb-pd protocol. However, using the adaptor on your phone should be fine as both need to accept the voltages before it switches

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

It doesn't matter, USB-C won't use a voltage that's in excess of the voltage the receiving device can accept, so even if the cable is theoretically capable of a higher voltage it won't matter. Just like you can't overcharge your phone battery anymore, the charging will just stop automatically at 100%.

The switch cable won't carry data which is odd, but it won't break your phone and you probably don't need data most of the time anyway.
