Hey Duders!

I'd like to bring my Switch with me on a trip to Ireland here coming up. I just wanted to educate myself on how to charge it safely without blowing it up.

If I get a North-American to Type G outlet adapter is that enoughor do I need some sort of power converter to change the voltage going into the unit too?

If any savy travelers can give me a what-not-to-do guide I'd appreciate it!

Cheers,

In terms of plugs: Yes, you need something that will let you stick your thing in the holes

Beyond that: Make sure that the really hard to read text on your charger says "Input 100 – 240V, 50 – 60 Hz." as that will let you use european outlets (240 V, 50 Hz)

And if you're paranoid (this IS Nintendo), consider only charging a battery pack with the outlet and then using that to charge the Switch. I don't bother with this, but it might be something to make you more comfortable

USA duder here, got stationed in Germany but had to travel to Qatar too, this thing was a life saver https://www.amazon.com/Travel-Adaptor-Wall-Power-Plug/dp/B01DJ140LQ

the switch is dual voltage, so just make sure the charger itself is too like the other guy said. I actually bought my switch off Amazon UK when i couldn't find one, and didnt think about the charger until the day it arrived haha. Any ol USB C will work though if you're not docking the thing. I also usually bring a battery pack (do some research into those though, lots of no good third party power for the Switch.

One thing I would recommend is to bring the whole thing instead of just the switch. I found travelling with all of the components is also super easy, so now whenever I go on a trip that lasts longer than a day I just bring everything.

Can confirm I've used my North American Switch in the UK and several continental European countries. Pretty much all consumer electronics come with 100-240v power supplies these days. The Switch is no exception.

For Ireland, just get a Type A to Type G adapter and you're good to go.
