Do you like to play your Nintendo Switch on the go and don't always have the time to keep it docked? Are you confused as to what cable to buy? Using a USB-C to USB-C cable is undoubtedly the safest way to charge your Nintendo Switch, but most battery packs do not have this option included yet so what about using a much more common USB-C to USB-A cable? According to the Official Japanese Nintendo Website using a USB-C to USB-A cable is fine as long as it has a 56k resistor included.
