Power Kit for Nintendo Switch™
Category: Charge & Battery
Keep your console powered up and ready for action whether you are grinding through levels at home or traveling on the go. The Nyko Power Kit for Nintendo Switch™ provides a reliable, compact charging solution designed to replenish your system outside of the official dock with maximum portability and convenience.
Key Features
- Play and Charge Anywhere: Maintain uninterrupted gameplay. The high-efficiency wall adapter delivers dedicated power directly to your console, allowing you to charge your Nintendo Switch™ tablet section rapidly while playing outside the dock.
- Ultra-Long Detachable Cable: Enjoy maximum flexibility in your setup. The premium, extra-long 8-foot USB Type-C™ to USB-A cable gives you plenty of room to sit back comfortably on the couch or in the backseat of a car while plugged into an AC outlet or active USB port.
- Travel-Ready Compact Design: Engineered with a slim footprint and foldable AC prongs, the lightweight charging cube easily slips into travel cases, backpacks, or pockets without snagging or scratching other gear.
- Multi-Purpose Charging Block: More than just a console charger. The universal USB Type-A port features smart power delivery (outputting up to 2.4 Amps max) that allows you to safely charge other compatible electronics, including smartphones, tablets, and controller packs.
- Integrated Power LED: No more guessing if your outlet is active. A built-in, low-profile LED indicator glows clearly to confirm the block is receiving power, assisting with quick and easy cable connections in dark or dimly lit gaming areas.
- Flexible Data Syncing: The included heavy-duty USB-C cable isn't just for juice—it also supports standard USB 2.0 data transfer rates for quick peripheral syncing and file management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this Power Kit to power my official Nintendo Switch™ dock on the TV?
A: No. The Power Kit is engineered specifically for direct portable charging into the handheld tablet itself. The official Nintendo Switch™ television dock requires a higher, specialized voltage configuration and is not compatible with this travel block.
Q: Is it safe to use the 8-foot cable to charge my other USB-C devices, like a smartphone?
A: Absolutely. The detachable 8-foot USB Type-C™ cable utilizes standard USB 2.0 protocols and can be safely paired with the included travel block or any active USB port to charge and sync phones, tablets, or wireless controllers.
Q: Why does the console charge a bit slower with this kit compared to the original brick charger?
A: The Power Kit outputs a safe, optimized current of up to 2.4 Amps max through its USB-A port. While this provides more than enough juice to charge the console efficiently while you play in handheld mode, it naturally carries a lower power profile than the bulky official standard wall unit.
