What You’ll Need
Before you begin, make sure you have the following items ready:
- A Nintendo Switch console
- A compatible USB-C charging cable
- A functional power outlet or a USB port on your console
- Your Nintendo Switch controller
Step 1: Connect the USB-C Charging Cable
The first step in recharging your Nintendo Switch controller is connecting the USB-C charging cable to the controller. Locate the USB-C port on the top of the controller and insert one end of the charging cable into it.
Step 2: Connect the Charging Cable to a Power Source
Next, take the other end of the USB-C charging cable and connect it to a power source. You can either plug it into a functional power outlet or use a USB port on your Nintendo Switch console.
Step 3: Monitor the Charging Process
Once the charging cable is connected, you’ll notice that the controller’s LED lights start flashing. This indicates that the controller is charging. Keep an eye on the lights to monitor the progress of the charging process.
Step 4: Wait for Full Charge
Now, all you need to do is wait for the controller to fully recharge. The time it takes to fully charge will vary depending on the current battery level and the charging method. On average, it takes about 2-4 hours to fully recharge a Nintendo Switch controller.
Step 5: Disconnect and Resume Gaming
Once your Nintendo Switch controller is fully charged, it’s time to disconnect the charging cable. Gently remove the USB-C cable from the controller, and you’re good to go! Your freshly charged controller is now ready to be used for all your gaming adventures.
Recharging your Nintendo Switch controller is a simple process that ensures you never have to pause your gaming sessions due to a drained battery. By following these easy steps, you can keep your controller charged and ready for action at all times.
