The MARSDOCK 45W Charger is a third-party AC adapter for the Nintendo Switch, offering a 15V/2.6A output that matches the original Nintendo dock. It supports TV mode through the Switch dock and handheld charging for the Switch OLED, Switch Lite, and Steam Deck, and includes a 5-foot USB-C cable that’s longer than the original Nintendo cord.

A universal 100-240V input lets the adapter handle international voltages. Most USB-C chargers don’t deliver the 15V/2.6A required to power the Switch in docked mode, which can leave off-brand plugs failing to register or running the dock at a lower TV resolution.

Because the MARSDOCK matches Nintendo’s official spec, the Switch can display at full resolution on a TV without flickering or disconnecting mid-game. The same charger also works with the Steam Deck dock and handheld unit. Built-in protection circuitry covers overcurrent, overcharging, short circuits, and overheating, and a thermal monitoring system throttles output if temperatures climb during extended use.
