External Battery Station for Nintendo Switch, 10000mAh Backup Charger Case Support PD Quick Charging with 2 Extra Game Card Slots Adjustable Kickstand for Nintendo Switch

I have one of these on my sons switch and he get most of a day out of it with no problem. Recharge does need a good full overnight but other than that it does what is says on the tin

Great design makes the switch more comfortable to hold while playing. Battery lasts for ages longer than relying on just the switch battery. Used to have one for the first switch I had and loved it. So glad I can get one that fits the oled model!!

When I ordered this I wasn’t entirely sure if this was an official licensed Nintendo accessory, and it definitely isn’t. The packaging and instructions seem very basic and give off a cheaper vibe than the actual unit itself. The instructions are poorly translated and very basic, as is the packaging, which makes me anxious the product won’t be well made but never judge a book etc etc The charger works by pressing a button on the top of the unit which lights up some dots and one turns green when the switch is docked in the case. The grip adds a much needed comfort to gameplay, but it does at some weight to the switch overall so as a unit designed to extend the battery life just be aware your arms will probably get tired quickly lol. The handle charger thing looks very nice and has that soft touch finish we all know and love. The joy con can be removed from the unit leaving the screen in place, however the screen is only held in place by the USB C socket on the inside of the unit so bear that in mind, secure it isn’t. “But surely all is resolved with the nice extra-wide central kickstand on the back?” I hear you ask… So about the kickstand. The kickstand on my switch is very flappy and just flaps around all flappy and annoying when I hold my switch, so I thought “this will solve EVERYTHING” but as of yet I have failed to pull the kickstand out for use as it is so securely held in place by the plastic clasp on the inside that human strength is unable to shift it. I have had to use the handle of some tweezers and a twisting motion to open it, so even though it has a nice little slot for a couple of game cards I’d recommending using it to store two games that you really don’t want to play again because unless you’re willing to have your fingernails prised away from your fingertips by a flap of lovely feeing soft touch plastic you will be too frightened to try and open it. I use a blunt knife to shuck it like an oyster, revealing the beautiful and weird-tasting treasure within, my copy of Street Fighter 2 and Let’s Go Pikachu. Overall it’s 8/10 marked down for almost killing myself trying to flip the kickstand out, oh and -1 for not including a USB C cable to charge it up with. UPDATE: After using it for a while I’ve noticed some other issues, the switch is held in place in the unit using only the USB C slot at the bottom, as well as the shape of the unit, however when playing I noticed that the switch would wobble at the base and constantly turn the battery pack on/off. So the battery pack drained before the switch, keeping it at 98-100% for an hour or so, no idea for the type of charge cycle the switch’s battery needs. The switch needs to be more firmly seated in place but since there’s nothing to hold it down at the top of the device it’s constantly sliding up and down. I’ve also noticed that since using this item my joycon disconnect ALL. THE. TIME. I have to slide each of them out from the charger (thankfully the design allows for the release button to be pushed, then each one needs to be slid back into place until they reconnect, only to disconnect again moments later, this happens very often and isn’t an issue when I’m not using the charging case and just have the device in handheld mode. Whether or not this is related to the switch sliding in the case and disconnecting the charger over and over, but I have a suspicion it might be. At present I’m considering returning this for a refund.

Extended battery life, last long time

bought a joy-con 4 port charger which was rubbish hardly ever charged and the batteries did not last long but I am happy to say a backup battery is a vast improvement takes a while to charge but lasts for days very pleased with the purchase.

Great to start with, heavy but nice to hold in the hand.... but stopped working after 6 months so pointless now, currently using it as a door stop.

I wanted to extend the playtime of my games when not using the docking station. The battery provides a comfortable grip and removes the need for any additional cables and / or power packs.

I bought 2 of these one just didnt work at all hours to charge then died almost immediately, the other was great for about a week then just didnt rly charge.

Es funktioniert sehr gut, hat aber ein klitzekleines Manko wegen welchem ich die Benutzung beim zocken nicht unbedingt empfehlen würde: sowie die Powerbank anfängt die Switch zu laden, wird diese extrem laut, die Lüfter werden zu Mini Jet engines und die Konsole wird sehr warm. Meine Vermutung ist das die Switch denkt man hätte sie ans Dock angeschlossen, wodurch sie mehr Leistung versucht zu erbringen (die der interne Bildschirm aber nicht wirklich bringen kann). Ein weiteres Problem was ich hierbei bei der originalen firstgen Switch feststellen musste ist das wenn diese Situation eintritt, es dazu kommen kann das in anspruchsvollen spielen wie Tears of the Kingdom das Game beim Speichern einfriert oder komplett abstürzt. Dafür kann meiner Meinung nach die Powerbank aber nichts, sondern ist einfach ein Problem mit Nintendos Konsole selber. Deshalb gebe ich dennoch fünf Sterne. Hab es mir geschrieben damit sich Leute dieser Probleme bewusst sind. Nicht jede Konsole ist gleich, da hilft nur probieren ob es bei einem selbst Probleme gibt oder nicht.

Love this portable charger! I can carry my Switch and play it anywhere now with this!

Incredibilmente, mooolto più ergonomica, pesa un pelino di più, ma si aggiunge una batteria quindi mi pare anche normale, al momento dell'arrivo avevo la switch al 15% di batteria il powerbank era a una tacca, la inserisco per testarla, non so quanto ci ha messo ma non mi ha pesato il tempo di caricatura perché appunto era un bel giocare grazie alla sua forma, so solo che me lo ha caricato pieno al 100% ma la tacca del powerbank ha ancora da caricare, quindi con una tacca fate più di una ricarica piena della vostra switch. A livello generale il prodotto è molto solido, non è di una plastichina mal fatta e fragila ma anzi bella robusta, soft touch, l'interno rivestito in velluto che aggrazzia molto l'inserimento. Ha un pulsante che tenendo premuto, blocca la carica e potete quindi avere una semplice e ergonomica cover. Trovo che sia un prodotto da avere se avete la switch, sia per quando volete ancora giocare e siete in giro per casa e sia per quando siete fuori casa o in vacanze.

My hardware: OG V1 Switch, fully cleaned of dust. Installed an aftermarket (and allegedly better than stock) fan and battery and with newly applied (high quality) thermal paste. I exclusively play in handheld mode and overclock just enough to make the targeted framerate (either 30fps or 60fps depending on the game) rock solid. With that context in mind, this battery grip offers two big advantages for overclocking: 1. Much longer battery life. I am talking I was getting maybe 2.5 hours max before this device (about 80% brightness, speakers on about 70%, with airplane mode on) and now with the device I haven't managed to deplete the battery pack in a single day (talking like 7+ hours of OC'd Xenoblade). I imagine a V2 or OLED will get even more battery time especially with stock clocks. I'll try and do specific max time testing and update the review with those numbers at some point. 2. More overclock options. Let me explain. Using "sys-clk" you are limited in the max clocks you can use in handheld mode, unless you are acticely plugged into a charger. This device counts as a "usb charger" which will increase your GPU handheld OC options from: GPU Stock 307MHz OC handheld max 460MHz *OC handheld max w/this device 768MHz* So what's the big deal? Many games can hit a mostly solid 30fps/60fps (again depending on the game's target) with the 460MHz OC option that you can get without this device, however many games will still have areas or certain actions (spells, dense mobs, or something) that can tank the FPS for a few seconds or until you leave that area. If you're like me, that will bug you and this is your solution. I find the 537MHz option (which is not possible without being tethered to a charger or by using this device) eliminates almost any and all dips. Even then, you still have the option of 614MHz, 691MHz, and 768MHz (which is docked mode clocks btw) to smooth out any additional dips, should you wish. Prodeus (w/ shadows) being the most intense I've found, needing 537MHz & a high CPU clock 1428MHz just to hit 30fps, and more to reduce dips. I personally don't like to go above 537MHz because I hate fan noise and even 537MHz pushes fan spin to around 35% which is almost loud enough to annoy me personally, at least without headphones on. I also find that if the clocks have to be pushed past 537MHz for handheld targets, the game is probably just poorly optimized and either nothing will make it stable or it is cpu bottlenecked and you need to bump up CPU clocks as well. So what are the drawbacks? 1. Heavy. Like I would never lay on my back and hold it above my face heavy because it might break a nose or chip a tooth if I drop it heavy. This is more of a use your thighs to prop it while you play unless you really want carpal tunnel heavy. Switch is 1lb 11.6 oz (or 27.6 oz total) with the grip and 14.8 oz without. It's a pretty big difference at almost double the weight. If I were the company I would offer one with half the capacity and weight for the mainstream market. Obviously I am glad this exists in this form as I value the capacity over the weight but I feel like I am pretty niche in this preference. Side note, I don't really use the stand but it is far better than the V1 Switch stand. Tabletop mode + the usb slots the grip has on top + pro controller might make for a great alternative to counter the weight issue. 2. It is big. I imagine it would be problamatic for someone with small hands but for me it is just right. I can play bass and 12 string guitars pretty comfortably for reference. 3. It's a little smooth. Same smoothness as the Joycons but in my opinion that is a little too smooth with the added weight. I haven't had any close calls (yet) but I do have to be mindful to not hold it with one hand as the smoothness plus the additional weight (and some sweaty palms) could lead to a pretty catastrophic drop. Still coming up with a home solution for this but it might just be grip tape around the whole outer perimeter where your hands cup the grip. Summary: For me, overall it is far more comfortable than without a grip, which is why I originally purchased this. I don't feel like my hands have to turn into spider legs to hit the triggers anymore or feel like the joycons are flexing ever so slightly. Just feels more solid overall. I truly thought the battery would give me an extra hour or so back (you know, return the battery time lost from overclocking), not give me an extra 6+ with overclocking. Not having to worry about afternoon charging to be able to play it again at night is really nice. The additional overclocking options are a huge (and entirely unforseen) bonus as someone who plays exclusively handheld and hates fps dips. No external heat that I can detect on the grip (at all) but the internal temps seem to run a little higher abt 3 to 5 degrees (which just equates to more fan spin, nothing more), so I will probably remove the intake grills on the grip like the other reviewer suggested and see if that brings it back down. Edit: Removed the fabric mesh and the "tape" mesh from both the intake holes on the grip and the temp dropped back down about 5 degrees on average under the same load. Two layers and both were pretty fine/small openings so I am not surprised airflow was a little restricted. Worth every penny. Hope this review helps out a very specific person or persons. I will try and answer any questions asked about the device.

Hyper pratique. Elle est plus lourde qu'à la base mais si vous avez pas des bras de fragiles ou d'enfant de 10 ans ça s'utilise bien. Oui j'ai 25 ans et je joue à la Switch et alors ?
