Is it safe to charge the Switch 1 with through USB?

The #Switch uses a standard USB-C port, but I remember it being finicky, at constant risk of getting damaged, when being charged with the wrong energy source. But would it be safe to plug it to a PC's USB port to charge?

Thanks in advance!

Same for me. I am using a launch day switch. The battery is a bit weird now though, it seems like the system can't read the battery level correctly anymore as it tends to drop to 1% within 10 minutes (from full charge) and stay there for a full hour of play. Not sure if this is a side effect of using random chargers.

Might be just age, since it's a 9 y.o. console already. Or like the PS Vita, it could also be some bug in the system.
