Going to be on a couple bus trips 5 hours in each direction starting tomorrow
I have a switch full of games, but know the battery won't last the entire trip.
What sort of portable charger will get me through and won't break the bank?
Preferably one I can get locally. I.e. no online only deals as it obviously won't arrive in time
Thanks for any help :)
Cygnett pro 10,000. Fast charge 3.0
Switch battery size is about 4,000 and last between 3-5hours. Depending how extreme your gaming is. This charger will charge your switch twice.
Agree, I've used this (https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/cygnett-10000-mah-chargeup-pr…) on flights and works well.
So, just because I'm new to the portable charger concept, will this charge my switch whilst I'm playing? Or will it just slow down its discharge rate?
And generally I should plug this into the switch when the battery starts getting low, right?
Either way, thank you for this!
It's effectively the same as using the wall charger. I generally just have it plugged in the whole time, then when I can't have it plugged in the switch/device is fully charged. Essentially I use the battery whenever I can so the device has the most charge when I can't use the charger or when it's inconvenient.
Don't know where you could get one but get one with USB-PD as switch supports this.
What does that mean? Sorry. New to the portable charger stuff
USB-PD is the USB's (standard) fast-charging protocol, stands for "Power Delivery". Common ones are 18W (at the low end) up to 100W (at the high end, not sure if they've gone above this).
From memory, I think a Switch naturally charges at something like 39W, so something like a 30W or 45W USB-PD charger would be around that mark.
Have a read of Switch Chargers
The Romoss SW20 has been on here on sale a few times, with PD and apparently a Good+ rated charger for the Switch - although the linked image isnt working for me.
Edit: Sorry, didn't see that you needed it by tomorrow. Rules out Amazon, but the link should still help you with Switch charging info.
Thanks for the info anyway :)
Ebgames, target, etc have a USB-C high W battery pack around $70 from memory.
