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.
