Help! Need a Power Bank for Switch

[DekuBleep]

What is a good power bank to use with Nintendo Switch? Want USB C and USB 3/2 for iOS device charging too.

I saw this one for $109 seems kind of pricey just for the USBC port compared to others w/o USBC port. Any others? Thanks!

Ive been using that power bank for a month and its perfect. Charges my iphone pretty quick and can charge the switch while your playing it.

I use this one

It supports Power Delivery which is what you need for a full speed charge I believe

That's the one I have. It is pricey but it's probably the best option. It charges the Switch ridiculously fast.

Does that one include a charger wall plug?

I have this one

It works great for me with a full charge of the system easily. Also great for a few phone recharges as well.

Buy either that or this one Flandy uses:

Correct. What's important here isn't really USB-C per se, but USB-PD (USB Power Delivery), which is what Switch uses to charge at full speed. These are the only two power banks I'm aware of that support USB-PD at the necessary watts, so they're the only options if you want proper speed charging.

That's not to say you can't use standard models, but they'll be extremely slow (and you can count out charging and playing at the same time).

Bought a USB-C to USB Cord for it

I'm using an Aukey 16000mAh, this one: https://www.aukey.com/products/16000mah-power-bank-with-quick-charge-3-0

Doesn't come with a charger however.
It's capable of charging the Switch while you're playing. I can get around 11 to 12 hours of playtime on my Switch with brightness set to 50%.

Thanks everyone! I bought the one in my OP with the charger included. The other one with PD says charger sold separately.

So has there been any tests for these batteries ? It won't damage the console right ?

Also, what is the best USB C cable to use/that won't damage the switch ?

Is it possible to use a USB C -> male connector for charging the switch ?
For using with this battery for example : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016E31SQQ/?tag=era0f0-20

Thanks !
