OK, here's one. I have a Xtorm AL450 powerbank. What I noticed is that the list linked in the OP states many many readings of about 5 volts, 500mA. And I can confirm the slow declining of battery percentage while playing Zelda with the powerbank attached. However, when I disconnect the cable while it's charging and then reconnect within a few moments it actually starts charging the Switch. Progress is extremely slow, like 1% each 20 or 30 minutes, but it shows this should be providing more power than it's using or in other words, it can't be 5 volts, 500mA...

Not sure what are the voltage and current requirements for the Switch yet.

I've used my old Xiaomi Power Bank and it charges the device, but I don't think it progresses while playing BotW.

Try my approach, play a bit while charging, then disconnect and reconnect. Are what happens. Might be a handshake type thing? 

 

BTW I use a USB 3.1 A-->C cable
