Anker partners with Nintendo on first officially-licensed portable power banks for Switch
Anker Innovations has announced a partnership with Nintendo that will see the release of portable power banks for Switch. The PowerCore 20100 and PowerCore 13400 Nintendo Switch Edition will be the first-ever officially licensed Nintendo batteries to bring USB-C power delivery to system, providing players up to 15 hours of additional playtime.
Here’s some additional information, including product specifications:
Uniquely Optimized for the Nintendo Switch
USB-C Power Delivery is a relatively new charging technology that allows mobile products with higher power needs, such as Notebooks and small appliances, to be fast-charged through portable USB-C power banks.
Anker worked closely with Nintendo to calibrate its battery technology to intelligently deliver fast charging to the Nintendo Switch. This means that the Nintendo Switch can be fast charged from 0% to 100% in just under 3 hours – even during gameplay – when connected to Anker’s new certified power packs.
