No one has made an extended battery for the Switch yet to my knowledge, however there are cases with a built in powerbank that might be worth a look, I think Nyko made one.
Personally I prefer just using a regular powerbank since it can charge all my other devices too.

SOMEONE HAS DONE IT!

I also remember seeing an old tread about someone putting another battery in their switch.

I just wanted to share this silly interesting mod.

Taking generic lipo/li-ion batteries and wiring them to the battery terminals doesn't count. Of course it's possible, but it requires some electronics know how. It's not just a drop in replacement.
I don't know why he didn't go with a lipo pouch. Having that thing sticking out of the back looks so unsightly, and it for sure won't fit in a pouch. A large, thin lipo pouch wouldn't increase the thickness much, so it might still fit in many pouches and also make it more comfortable to hold.

I agree about the looks, and I just wanted to share how uhhhh creative this guys solution was. I don't think there will ever be something like the nyko battery pack for the 3DS made for the Switch, mostly because of the battery cases being a better solution.

There doesn't really need to be, because the Switch battery is connected by a cable, it's easy to solder the connector onto any lipo pouch battery.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
