Top Power Banks for Nintendo Switch 2 (Note: Character count: 27)

The Nintendo Switch 2 arrives on June 5th, offering portable play though Nintendo specifies only "2 hours" battery life for demanding games. This works for commutes, but travelers needing extended playtime will require a reliable power bank.

While featuring upgraded hardware, the Switch 2 maintains USB-C charging compatibility with existing power banks. Dedicated Switch 2 accessories will emerge shortly - Genki plans a magnetic power bank attaching seamlessly to special cases. Current Switch solutions won't fit due to the larger Switch 2 dimensions.
