Hardware Powerbank with the Switch?

[Justin20020]

hello,

Is it possible to use any powerbank for the switch or should I buy an specific one for the switch? My powerbank didn't work for the switch. It seems not so powerfull or idk. Is there a solution?

It has to meet the voltage an amp requirements. As always when you use non-licensed unofficial hardware you take risks into your own hands. See my post on the USB-C display for issues I encountered using unsupported devices.

That said if the power meets the requirements and does not exceed them you are probably ok.

You'll want a USB-C powerbank that supports the 15V profile.
Like the xiaomi pro.

A few Ravpower banks support 15V. 5V should do it too I think.

15V power banks are pretty pricey and rare. 5v3a USB-C to C power banks will charge while you play, and are a bit more common/less expensive.
