Reddit reviews AUKEY USB C Power Bank 30000mAh, Portable Charger with Quick Charge 3.0, Battery Pack Compatible with Nintendo Switch, iPhone Xs/XS Max, Samsung

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F8IRIN0/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_D.ayyb0QMR21Y

I have this 30000mah Aukey and it's amazing, charges really quick.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s really necessary. For charging, I use this portable charger to keep my phone and my boyfriend’s phone charged all four days. There’s a phone charging station in maplewoods if it runs out of juice so you have a backup option.

For lights, I just use these solar powered lights and they work great! Then I use a battery powered lantern for the camping table, another in the tent, and that’s more than enough light to be able to find everything in the dark. I also have a few solar stakes from the dollar tree that I put next to the tent lines so no one trips over the lines or stakes.

As for the speakers, I really don’t think that you need anything more than a small portable Bluetooth speaker anyway which doesn’t require much power and can just be charged at the phone charging station if necessary. I stayed in maplewoods last year and I loved how quiet and relaxing it was (my sis calls it the “retirement home of electric forest lol). I kinda think of it as the unofficial quiet camping option. If you’re looking to party after hours, the RV camp is like a two minute walk away. Of course, if you wanna have a big speaker setup, I’m sure no one will stop you, but maplewoods seems like the wrong campground to have it in bc not many people can get in, it’s generally super chill (I don’t remember anyone playing loud music after hours last year), and, again, the RV parties are right next door.

Happy (early) forest! You’ll love maplewoods, it’s honestly so great!

Basically any QC 3.0 pack is supposed to work, did you get one that has a green qc3.0 port?

This one works fine for me and I already had it on hand. (for some reason the port that supplies QC on this one is the orange one).

This smaller Anker one is supposedly a drop in replacement for the stock one.The QC port here is blue so I have no idea what the color standard really is now.

Assuming this is the case, I’d recommend picking up a good sized battery like this: AUKEY 30000mAh USB-C Portable Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank, 3 USB Outputs Battery Pack for Nintendo Switch, iPhone 8 / Plus and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F8IRIN0?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

That way when you have access to power you can make the most of it/take it with you.

It's a bit bigger and heavier but I'm a huge fan of my Aukey 30,000 power bank. This thing is a beast, can keep my phone running for easily a week with fairly heavy use. Down side is that it's right over a pound in weight.

I know Aukey doesn't have the customer support that Anker offers, but Aukey offered this with 2 quick charge ports and 1 USB C port which can be hard to find (I think Anker recently released a 20,000 power bank with one)

That one is 17ah. Not terrible, but if battery capacity is what you want to maximize, this one is almost twice the capacity (30ah) for about the same price.

I quite like my Aukey 30000mAh bank. It can charge over micro USB and USB Type-C simultaneously, and it's a bit beefier than the USB Type-C Anker bank.

I have AUKEY 30000mAh USB-C Portable Charger with Quick Charge 3.0 Power Bank, 3 USB Outputs Battery Pack for Nintendo Switch, iPhone Xs/XS Max / 8 / Plus and More and it works well. But it's pretty hefty.

Save yourself some money and get this one. I use it all the time. It charges the Switch just fine while playing BOTW.

I have a 10,000 mah pack and it only charges a spark battery 1 time. And takes hours. The Spark supports the Quickcharge 3.0, so getting a power bank with that will reduce charge times. Like this one:

https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-30000mAh-Portable-Charger-Nintendo/dp/B01F8IRIN0/ref=sr_1_20?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1524670565&sr=1-20&keywords=quick+charge+3.0+power+bank

That's a good quality battery. That'll more than double the stock capacity. The beautiful thing about spare and extended batteries is that you can really expect double the battery life. If you use something like a 10,000 mAh power pack for say a 30,00 mAh phone, you're not going to get 3+ extra charges due to heat and various charging inefficiencies. For really high quality power banks and high end Flagships I usually get about 70% of the power bank's capacity in "extra charge". With extended batteries it's like an OEM built a phone with that size of a battery. Have you been using the one stock battery that came with your V10 as you would a phone with a sealed battery (charging it via an AC adaptor)? If so just a new stock capacity battery would drastically improve battery by itself, I obviously recommend getting multiple spares and or an extended battery though. As for the fastest charging battery bank, there's no real Bible on that. Generally speaking you want something that's USB C PD compliant if you're fast charging a Pixel or 2017 iPhone, and Quick Charge 3.0 support for other Flagships. Most of the time the USB C port is pulling double duty for both standards. It also doesn't hurt to see if Benson Leung has given the charger his golden seal of approval. He's a fairly reliable guru who who knows the USB C spec inside and out. He has been wrong in the past, but generally speaking he's extremely reliable. Marketplace reviews can also be a good indicator, just look for verified purchases and see what they actually take umbrage with. I personally use an Aukey 30,000 mAh power bank with Quick Charge 3.0 and 30W USB C PD. I've tested it with power gauges it and it works really well. It'll charge all of my Quick Charge 3.0/2.0 devices at full speed, and it can charge my iPhone X and iPad Pro 12.9 (2017) at full speed. It can keep a Nintendon Switch topped off during use, and rapid charge it when it's idle. It can also charge a 12" MacBook fairly reliably. It's Overkill for a V10 but I recommend it. I have 2 of them, and bought them when they were $80 a piece. I've seen them a little lower than what they're currently going for, but they're worth every penny. To my knowledge it's the largest capacity power bank with this many power user features.

I'm using the Aukey 30,000mah . Fast charges the pixel USB c to c. Supports dual input charging of the device itself and charges off the pixel fast charger. Supports 3 simultaneous outputs. Gives you almost 10 charges for the XL.

Aukey 30,000mah with USB-C

I just purchased this 30000mAh bank (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F8IRIN0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that supports QC 3.0 (Meaning it should support Samsung's fast charging since its equivalent to QC 2.0 and QC 3.0 is backwards compatible). it also charges via micro USB and has a USB-C input/output port so if you plug in both the micro USB and the USC C ports it chan recharge the battery twice as fast (~8HRs)

Has anyone used a power bank to charge there Switch since the 5.0 update? I hear (few) reports that some people had theirs bricked but perhaps not because of a power bank. I haven't and I'm worried about it using mine.

This is what I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F8IRIN0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mine works with this USB C to A cable and the USB C to A cable that came with this power bank. That's all I've tried it with.

If you plan on charging it on the go, there isn't a better portable charger out there.

like this?

I use this one for my phone and Switch. You can get about six full chargers on your Switch with it, which is quite a lot. I have had no problems with it and I would easily recommend it for the quality. However, if you want to get cheaper, maybe find one that isn't as large. This is a bit overkill, so maybe you don't need that.

There is an officially licensed power bank which you can see here, but its both not as big and more expensive than the one I recommended above. Its really not worth it, so don't bother.

And don't worry about bricking your switch with one of these either. All the problems with bricked Switches come from trying to use a 3rd party dock in TV mode. As long as you are always playing in tabletop/handheld mode, you will be fine.

Or, or here me out here. Pick yourself up one of these bad boys and go over an entire weekend without a wall socket. I've gone nearly a week using olny this power bank to charge my phone.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F8IRIN0

For $5 more, there's this one where you can charge via USB C, supplying a recharge at 5V 3A much like the Hori High Speed Car Charger linked elsewhere in this thread. Dunno if 2.4A (through alternative ports) would be a problem when the Switch has printed on the back 2.6A.

The car charger for Nintendo switch Hori is 5V 3amp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZAUPD6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_ep_dp_RBcKyb75XS92A

I would suggest you match that output in a power bank.... There are not that many that do output 5V 3.0Amp via usb c. Lower current output ones will charge, but do so slower.

I'd recommend looking at the Anker 20,000

Theres also an aukey one that's 30,000 mah, but its heavier and bigger also I'm not sure about how well it conforms to usb c spec.

I did some very rough estimate calculations based on Nintendo's estimates on battery life and charging in post if your interested.

(Aukey 30,000 mah C-C)

I like it a lot. Pretty big and bulky but it can charge a phone fully like 6 times. I can fit it in the pocket of my jeans (I wear a 40, so take that as you will).

Sometimes it turns off randomly but i think that's because I hit the button or my cable is fucked up

There's a few power banks on amazon with almost twice as much storage for cheaper.

The XPS can take power through it's USB C port so you've got quite a few more options available if you google around.

Has anyone had issues with Aukey 30,000mAh PowerBank while using it on the Switch?
