I like how it's been pointed out these could fry your switch but everyone's just ignoring it, lol.
Wait, this is a thing? As in, any power bank could potentially fry your Switch, or only specific models?

It's more to do with bad cables.Wait, this is a thing? As in, any power bank could potentially fry your Switch, or only specific models?
Does the vita slim having the option to use a powerbank make it less portable?This is supposed to be a portable console right?

Ordered the RAVPower when it was a daily deal on Amazon, its been a great choice
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vnpEXfo2HCGADdd9G2x9dMDWqENiY2kgBJUu29f_TX8/pubhtml#This stuff is really really irritating to me. I've been looking for half a day and I still dont know what exactly to get. I just want a list of cables and chargers that will work and not fry my Switch.
I'm kinda surprised we haven't seen a battery case for the switch yet
Though I'm sure that'll be coming at some point
How do i know if i got the right anker?
So I bought the Ravpower 26800 with the Anker USB c to a cable but now the internet is telling my switch will explode.
Why is this so hard?
"Buy a stand that raises the Switch off your table" seems to be the only advice I can give you there.
It's kinda sad how the Wii U gamepad has an AC port on the bottom for the charging cradle and the top for normal charging while playing but the Switch only has on on the bottom , which is awkward for charging while playing it and makes it almost impossible to charge it while using the kickstand.
Best USB C cable is?
Not completely true. This applies to power adapters and portable batteries too.
I dont know what is even going on anymore but I ordered the Anker PowerCore 10000 without quick charge since that's apparently bad for the Switch? Amazon only had that one in white of course but I don't care at this point.
And then this to charge the PowerCore.

Get stuff that has 1,2,3 on the rating, the higher the better.
C to C cable is preferable to a A to C cable
End of the story
Any telltale signs that this brick isn't a good cheap buy?

So I'm interested in the small Anker one but I'm not sure I'm getting everything right.
Which cable should I get with it?
USB-C to USB-A?
Like this one which should be better than this one as per the google doc preivously poste?
I just ordered the Anker Powercore 13000:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z9QVE4Q/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Would I be wrong to assume that this will work just as well (if not better) as the Anker 10000? The 13000 is around the same price as the Anker 10000 and has two USB slots for charging two products at a time, which could come in handy on the go.
Best USB C cable is?

Bought the same powercore. ~9 hours total Zelda unplugged at medium brightness is plenty for me, and only 180g. Perfect. Cannot fathom the point of the huge 26,800 units unless you're nowhere near an outlet for days.
Is there a single case anywhere of a USB-C to USB-C power bank frying a Switch, I'm not aware of one. Or a single case of USB-A to USB-C even, that doesn't involve cheap cables that don't met the standards.
I'm not doubting it could happen, somehow, it's just look at the size of the thread over the dock issue that is very isolated, you'd think if Switch's were being destroyed by power banks left and right there'd be a quite sizable thread about it too...
Monoprice, Anker, or Amazon Basic. No need to overpay.

I'll have to find the links, but there have been a couple adapters and power banks that were ruled out by the Google guys as being risky and should be avoided. So I'm assuming there is potentially some risk.
Newer is doing a daily deal today on the 26800 ravpowe. $35.
Thanks for the heads up. Newegg*
