Will any USB-C work with Nintendo Switch?

You can use other USB-C cables and chargers with a Nintendo Switch, but they must meet specific power delivery (PD) requirements (around 60W for the dock, or at least enough for handheld charging) and be high-quality to avoid slow charging or potential damage, especially avoiding cheap cables that might lack safety features like the 56k ohm resistor. Generic phone chargers work for handheld mode, but only a proper, high-wattage USB-C PD charger (like the official 60W) supports docked mode.

A fast-draining Nintendo Switch battery often means you need to recalibrate the battery (full drain/charge cycle), close background apps, turn off features like HD Rumble, use Airplane Mode, lower screen brightness, or ensure the console isn't overheating from dust buildup. If issues persist, it could be normal battery wear over time, but try a full power cycle or a factory reset as a last resort, as it might be a software glitch or physical battery issue.
