Power Up Your Nintendo Switch

2018-07-10
one of the obvious great things about the Nintendo switch is the ability to use it in portable mode in fact Nintendo has even published statistics before talking about how half their user base regularly uses it in portable more than duct and I'm one of them I really like using it as a handheld more than a home system but whenever you're using a portable system there's one big issue you always run into and that's battery life which with the switch can be a lot more annoying and I think a lot of people realize because sure you could carry around the AC adapter and plug it in any outlet you can find but that isn't always an option and the switch when it comes to charging is a little more fickle than a lot of other electronic devices and so while you can use some third-party solutions and battery banks it doesn't always charge as quickly as it should thankfully the accessory market for the switch has been booming and along with that we are now seeing officially licensed and marketed batteries specifically for the Nintendo switch and this is one of the first one we have right here comes from Ankur now they actually have two different models of this this is the smaller one you can grab and these are designed to specifically work with the weight the switch receives a charge in order to give it the fastest charge possible while still giving you a high capacity now before we dive in depth on this guy something I want to talk about really quick is whenever we talk about charging solutions for the Natuna switch I get a lot of people asking questions about whether or not using something like this is going to cause any damage to their system or possibly even brick it and the reason why people are worried about this is because back in March when Nintendo released their five point update for the switch it caused a lot of systems that were using a third-party Doc's to brick now since that has happened a lot of people are worried about anything that supplies any kind of power to the switch but the fact that matter is is that that particular issue is really only tied to when the switch is being used in a doc mode there has been no discovered problems when using battery banks or any other kind of charging solution if you're just using it as a portable you're fine when it comes to Docs though right now you want to stick with official Nintendo Doc's now there has been some news from Nintendo saying that you should also be careful what kind of charge cables you use but as long as you use the kind of chargers that come with the Nintendo switch or any cables that are supplied with officially licensed and branded Nintendo stuff you're gonna be fine anyways back to this guy right here so like I said this one is officially licensed by Nintendo so it's safe to use and it's made by Ankur now part of the idea is like I said it is optimized to charge as quickly as possible with the switch but these are also just high quality high-capacity batteries this one in particular is their smaller design it carries I believe thirteen thousand four hundred milliamp hours which on the switch translates to about 1.7 charges so it's not gonna give you too full extra charges but close they do make another design that's more elongated shape and that one is a much higher capacity at 20k 100 that one's basically two-and-a-half extra charges so it's gonna give you over three times the battery life and of course on top of working really well with the switch it does have actual Nintendo switch branding on it so behave your whole collection accessories this is gonna fit right in and while it is designed to be optimized with the switch you can still use it with anything else that you want to charger with a formal battery bank whether that's your phone other portable gaming devices whatever this is a good still gonna work for all those just fine now of course all the stuff sounds awesome on paper but let's actually give this thing a try we've got two dead switch back here right now so we're gonna go ahead and hook this guy up and see how much of the battery were able to charge in the next hour so after charging the switch with this thing for an hour we got it to 43% basically meaning that in about two and a half hours we can get a full charge putting on par with other Nintendo stuff making it an awesome option for charging on the go top that off with its awesome build quality Portability and this is a must-have accessory for any switch owner now right now you cannot get these on Amazon they're only available on angers website and even then it's just a pre-order system so we're gonna put that down below and link you guys to check out and I'll see you later
