Top Power Banks for Nintendo Switch 2 Revealed

If you're planning to take your Nintendo Switch 2 on the go—and let’s face it, that’s kind of the whole point—you’ll want a reliable power bank by your side. With Nintendo promising only a minimum of “2 hours” of battery life during intensive gameplay, it's clear that long trips or extended play sessions away from an outlet will require extra juice. Luckily, since the Switch 2 charges via standard USB-C, just about any modern power bank will work. While specialized options like Genki’s magnetic power bank are already in development, they’re not essential—there are plenty of excellent alternatives available right now.

Let’s break down some of the best power banks for the Nintendo Switch 2, whether you're after portability, raw power, or something in between.

1. Anker Nano Power Bank

Best Overall

• Pros: Compact size, built-in USB-C cable, and additional USB-C port for dual charging
• Cons: Foldable plug may be fragile over time

The Anker Nano 3-in-1 is as convenient as it is small. It features a built-in USB-C cable, which is perfect for quick and tangle-free charging. But it doesn’t stop there—it also includes a second USB-C port, allowing you to charge two devices simultaneously. If the built-in cable fails, you can still use the extra port with your own cable.

It also comes with a foldable wall plug, so you can charge the power bank directly from the wall without needing a separate adapter. Despite its tiny form factor, it delivers up to 30W of output—plenty enough to efficiently top off your Switch 2 while you're on the move.

2. Belkin Boost Plus 10K

Most Portable Option

• Pros: Built-in USB-C and Lightning cables, ultra-lightweight
• Cons: No additional ports for other cables

The Belkin Boost Plus 10K is ideal for travelers who want simplicity and minimal clutter. It features both a USB-C and a Lightning cable neatly tucked into the sides, making it easy to carry and ready to use at a moment’s notice. While the Lightning cable isn’t useful for the Switch 2, the USB-C one gets the job done nicely.

With a 23W output, it won't charge your console quite as fast as the original wall adapter, but it’s more than adequate for casual gaming sessions. The compact and lightweight design makes this a great option if you're looking to travel light without sacrificing convenience.

3. Anker Power Core 24K

Most Powerful Option

• Pros: High 45W output, large 24,000mAh capacity, capable of charging laptops
• Cons: Bulky and heavier than the Switch 2 itself

If you're all about speed and capacity, the Anker Power Core 24K is the ultimate choice. With a robust 45W output, it matches or even exceeds most laptop chargers, meaning it should be able to keep up with the expected 39W charger bundled with the Switch 2. Even if the system doesn’t support fast charging fully, using a higher-wattage power bank won’t harm it.

Its massive 24,000mAh capacity translates to roughly four full charges for the Switch 2, making it ideal for long trips or multi-day gaming sessions. Of course, this performance comes at a cost: the Power Core 24K weighs 1.1 lbs and is noticeably thicker than the Switch 2 itself. But if you're after raw power and don’t mind the added weight, this is the way to go.

Frequently Asked Questions

How powerful of a power bank does the Switch 2 require?

To match the charging speed of the included wall adapter (likely around 39W), you’ll want a power bank rated for at least 30W–45W. Most standard power banks offer between 20W and 30W, which will still work but may charge your device slightly slower than the original charger.

Is a 10,000mAh power bank enough for the Switch 2?

Yes. The Switch 2 has a 5,220mAh battery, so a 10,000mAh power bank will give you at least one full charge with room to spare. However, keep in mind that not all power is transferred efficiently, so actual usable charge may be slightly less.

Whether you're commuting, traveling, or just gaming away from a power source, having the right power bank ensures you never have to pause the action. From compact companions to powerhouse performers, these picks ensure your Nintendo Switch 2 stays powered up no matter where you go.
