We love the Nintendo Switch so much here at BGR, but there’s one thing we really don’t like. It’s not exactly something we can blame Nintendo for, but battery life isn’t great and there’s nothing worse than having to shut down your Switch when you’re in the middle of a game. Nintendo had to keep its console nice and thin so it couldn’t squeeze in too much battery, but that’s why third-party accessory makers exist. The Nyko Power Pak Nintendo Switch is a simple attachment that will double your console’s battery life and it only costs $24 on Amazon after you clip the on-site coupon.
Here are the bullet points from the product page:
- Extended playing time: keep playing after the internal battery runs out – 5, 000 mAh, 5V, 2.1 Amp
- Light indicates charging status of the Console
- Rapidly recharge the power Pak through the included Type-C
- Kickstand built into the power Pak
