To a certain degree I find battery life irrelevant, on a personal side. When I travel with the kids they plug the Switch into a USB port readily available in any new car, battery last all day.

Thats risky due to the weird power draws the Switch has.  I personally use an anker battery pack as it was specifically tuned to what the Switch needs.  Nintendo did not follow USB-C standards, like the ports in you car, and you may be playing with fire.  It is the whole reason 3rd party docks were bricking Switches.

Just some friendly advice.

Only 3rd party docks switching to the more stressing TV-mode are problematic.

Recharging in portable mode is safe (as far as I know)
