Really? How fast does it charge? Can you play and charge at the same time?

I was hesitant using a standart USB-charger because of the Switches 15V/2.6A specification. Powerbanks at 5V don't seem to really play nice with it either, so I thought I'd have to buy the official one. If c-cable + standart charger work, that's great news!

I was playing while plugged into my Google Pixel's USB C charger, and my system was at about 25% I think when I started on the charger. A couple of hours later when I was finished and was walking to put it back on the dock, I looked up at my battery and it was at 99%. So yes, you can charge much faster than you can drain, it's awesome!

I agree, as long as you using a everything USB C, no USB A or anything else it will work fine, make sure the power bank aka portable charger is a USB C charger, if it is then you can play and charge at the same time.......there is one on amazon for 19.99 and it will extend your Switch battery at max settings for 10 to 12 hours.........and for 60 to 70 dollars you can extend your switch to 20 to 22 hours on max settings, and even if you do not use your switch for all those hours you can still charge your phone with it and even a friend phone baefore you need to charge the portable charger up again
