Nintendo Switch 2 leak reveals dock and charger details

Leaker Laura Kate Dale recently posted images of the Nintendo Switch 2 dock on X, brought to her by a trusted source. The image features the back of the dock, which more or less lines up with other leaks occurring for the past few months now, granting her credibility.

That said, there are some new details to sift through, including wattage information for the console. Here are the details.

Nintendo Switch 2 dock and charger details leaked

Laura Kate Dale reveals new photo of Switch 2 dock. Voltage and charger information also leaked. byu/DJCreeperZz inGamingLeaksAndRumours

Here's what they had to say in their post:

"This is a new photo I have recieved from a trusted source showing a Switch 2 Dock, featuring visible input and output voltage information (other information obscured). In addition, I have learned that the Switch 2 ships with a 60W charger for use with the dock."

As per the image, the fine-print writing on the back suggests it will accept an input of 60 watts (12 V x 5 A). The leaker reiterates this point by revealing that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have an AC adapter or charger rated for the same wattage. Furthermore, the output is suggested to be 48 watts (15 V x 2.8 A).

To compare, the original Nintendo Switch has a 39-watt charger though it only draws 18 watts when docked. This jump makes sense since the Switch 2's leaked specs suggest a beefier console. With the SOC (System-on-a-chip) reported to be built atop an 8 nm process of the Nvidia Orin lineup, this power jump makes sense.

While other ratings on the back have been obscured by the leaker (perhaps for identification purposes), we can see ports on the side, seemingly for Ethernet, HDMI, and so on. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this is an evolution of the Nintendo Switch design.

The only thing remaining at this point is an official confirmation. If rumors are to be believed, then we should be getting our first official look very soon.
