SwitchCharge - Could this be a must-have for Switch owners on the go?

I've said that this idea was fantastic. It gives you +12 hours of battery and allows you to carry two more physical cartridges with you, and it doesn't even seem to make the console itself all that bulky so it can still fix in your pockets. Seriously, this kind of gizmo is a must have if you were to own a Switch, imo.

Yeah I really do think it's a great idea, I mean I'd happily buy a power bank anyway, but if I could have one built into a case with extras too, such as the better stand, I'd opt for this option for sure!

Think about it like this how much power is lost in the transfer from the battery pack you buy (cheap shit ones will be a big %) and then just look at the MAH that the battery capacity has at max, this thing on offer here being 12k is almost 3 times the Switches full battery capacity so if it can even tranfer that with a loss of 1/3 the total power you're still looking at getting 2 full extra charges from this unit giving you between 9-15 hours of Switch power out of it including the full charged battery in the unit itself.

Honestly I couldn't remember the battery capacity of the Switch lol (4310 mAh for anyone interested), had to google it, but yeah that's an easy way to figure out how much extra playtime you get :P 

Oh yeah... or in my post I said that 12k was almost 3 times the switchs capacity :D 12k / 3 = 4k

Like I said though, some of the cheaper ones of these that you see offering 20k and stuff like that will likely bleed out a ton of that when it comes to the power going across their internals and out of cheaply made USB ports and of course you're going to lose some with the Switch itself so you're not going to get anywhere near a 1:1 power transfer from these power banks. Still though... at 12k you're looking at more switch power than you could need in a single day really.
