These Inexpensive 10,000mAh and 20,000mAh Power Banks Are Perfect Matches for Your Nintendo Switch [IGN]

As part of the Amazon Spring Sale, a couple of inexpensive power banks are now even cheaper than ever before. Amazon has the Baseus 10,000mAh Power Bank with up to 18W USB Power Delivery for $11.99 after promo code “EP5DAV8M“. Alternatively, Amazon has the Baseus 20,000mAh Power Bank with up to 20W USB Power Delivery for $17.83 after the same promo code “EP5DAV8M“. These are excellent complementary power banks for your Nintendo Switch console.

Baseus 10,000mAh USB Type-C Power Bank with Power Delivery for $11.99, or 20,000mAh for $17.83

The 10,000mAH power bank is perfect for those who want an ample amount of extra juice, but in a very thin and compact form factor. This Baseus model measures about 6″ long and 2.7″ wide, about the same size as an iPhone 14 Pro, and weighs in at only 10 ounces. It will charge a Nintendo Switch over two times, an iPhone 15 Pro over three times, and a full-sized iPad Pro 12.9″ almost one full time. That should give you several hours of extra juice.

The 20,000mAh power bank is better for people who need enough power for going multiple days without a recharge. It’s actually the same length and width as the 10,000mAh model, but it’s thicker. It also weighs in at about 16 ounces. It will charge a Nintendo Switch over four times, an iPhone 15 Pro over six times, and a full-sized iPad Pro 12.9″ almost two full times.

Both power banks have three ports. The USB Type-C port is both output and input, which means you can charge the power bank OR charge your devices from that same port. The USB Type-A port is output only and the Micro USB port is input only. The USB Type-C port supports Power Delivery with up to 20W of power. That’s enough to fully max out the charging speed on a Nintendo Switch.

The Baseus power bank is UL certified and comes with built-in safety protections you’d expect from a decent quality power bank. It also has an LED battery indicator that you can check with a press of a button. Baseus itself isn’t as well known as some of the other Amazon brands, but it’s making a name for itself as a seller of reliable power banks and chargers.

Pick a more powerful power bank for the Steam Deck or ASUS ROG Ally

The Steam Deck supports a max of 38W and the ASUS ROG Ally even higher at 65W. Since these power banks only support up to 20W of charging, you won’t be able to take advantage of the faster charging rates of these two gaming handhelds. If you want the most efficient charging for those gaming systems, there are better (and more expensive) options. If you’re not in a rush, though, this power bank can still charge up all three without a problem, it will just take a little onger.
