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!

    Did a quick 1h test after most replies:

    With some heavier game open but minimized, the battery went down slowly while charging through USB.

    With the #Switch turned off, the battery went up instead, but indeed slow as warned.

    Might need to test further, but results seem decent enough already!
