Best Power Banks for Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 arrives June 5th with impressive hardware upgrades, but its reported 2-hour battery life for demanding games means serious players will need reliable power solutions. While compatible with most USB-C power banks, the new console's larger size makes some existing Switch accessories obsolete.

Game-Changing Power Solutions

Expect innovative charging solutions like Genki's magnetic power bank that attaches directly to special Switch 2 cases - eliminating messy cables while you play. These upcoming accessories specifically account for the new console's dimensions that differ from the original Switch.

1. Anker Nano Power Bank — The Compact Charging Champion

This pocket-sized powerhouse delivers 30W charging through its integrated USB-C cable or additional port. Its collapsible wall plug makes recharging effortless, though the non-replaceable cable could become an eventual weak point. Perfect for tossing in your bag without adding bulk.

2. Belkin Boost Plus 10K — Travel-Friendly Essential

With built-in USB-C and Lightning cables that neatly tuck away, this sleek 23W power bank prioritizes portability over raw charging speed. The lack of additional ports might frustrate some users, but its streamlined design makes it ideal for minimalist gamers.

3. Anker Power Core 24K — The Heavy-Duty Powerhouse

This 45W beast matches the Switch 2's wall charger speed while packing enough juice (24,000mAh) for several full console charges. The trade-off? It weighs more than the console itself and costs significantly more than smaller alternatives.

Need-to-Know Charging Facts

For optimal performance, look for power banks with 30W+ output - though most standard 20-30W options will work at slightly reduced speeds. A 10,000mAh battery provides about two full Switch 2 charges (based on its 5,220mAh battery), making even compact power banks surprisingly effective.

While we can't confirm exact charging behavior until launch, the new console will likely maintain the original Switch's safe-but-capped fast charging capabilities - meaning overpowered chargers won't harm (but may not fully utilize) your device.
