The Nintendo Switch has been the go-to console since it launched for those looking to game on the big screen at home and wanting to play on their console on the go. However, one of the drawbacks of the Nintendo switch, when used in its handheld mode, is the battery life. The battery life can range from a mere 3 hours and go up to 6 hours based on the game you are playing. A game like Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will drain the Nintendo Switch's battery life really fast. That doesn't seem like a lot especially if you are one who commutes a lot on a daily basis or is looking to get on a long flight. There is however a solution that you can consider. Since the Nintendo Switch charges via USB-C, you can connect it to a power bank to ensure it lasts longer. Since the Nintendo Switch has a 4,310mAh battery, you can charge it multiple times using these power banks to ensure you don't stop gaming. Here is a look at some of the options available on Amazon.
