The MacBook Pro 2018 has a power adapter with a separate USB-C charging cable.
Since according to the values on the respective power supply, the MacBook power supply therefore has more power, the thought came to me that I could use this then possibly also for the Nintendo switch, so that this load a little faster.
But my concerns are just these values.
MacBook power adapter: 20.3V, 3.0A
Switch power supply: 5V, 1A
Would that work, without which the switch with a pity or should I rather leave it?
Is not a good idea. Although Nintendo has a USB-C plug on the switch but it is well known that you can only safely load the switch with the Nintendo charging cable, since the communication protocol between Charger and Switch does not comply with the USB-C standard. It will probably work, but you run the risk that one day your switch will not turn on because the chip responsible for the power supply has blown. As I said, this is a known problem and Nintendo does not intend to change it.
As a result, third-party chargers and docks for the switch are unfortunately not a good idea, and unfortunately they are not recommended, they are, the Docs allow you to install the original Nintendo Docks electronics.
Especially since your MacBook power supply is able to deliver up to 20V, it can come by just a mistake of uncoordinated communication that the MacBook power supply uncompromising disassembled your switch.
The values of your switch power supply are not correct. The power supply delivers according to my knowledge 15V and not 5. Bzw. Supplies both. 5V 3A and 15V 2.8A
If DS has MacBook 20V, it is nevertheless with caution to enjoy. 5v minimum difference is still in the frame but a too big difference makes you break the electronics. And I can't rate that.
Alzurana has already described that well. If the switch does not recognize the protocol and if necessary switches the 20v to the electronics designed for 5v. Then you can say good night.
Excellent!
With pleasure.
