Power Bank Buying Guide | About My Speed Ratings | About My Safety Ratings
Check your laptop’s power requirements before buying a charger for both it and the Switch.
USB-A Power Banks
USB-A power banks won’t charge the Switch while you play under many conditions. They will extend the Switch’s battery life by a few hours. They also charge while the Switch is asleep fine.
If you already own a USB-A power bank (5V/1.5A or better output) then it may meet your needs. You will need a USB-C to USB-A cable.
See my reviews of the Anker PowerCore 10000 and EC Technology 22400 for details on how well USB-A power banks perform with the Nintendo Switch.
