10,000mAh is roughly twice the size of Switch battery, but you won't squeeze 100% efficiency from it. Say a full charge is 3 hrs with Zelda, a 10,000mAh should give roughly 5 hrs extra playtime with Zelda.

@JaxonH oh wow thats pretty good for long 5-6 hour flights, does USB A vs USB C output on the powerbank make a difference for playtime or does that just effect how fast it would charge a Switch in sleep mode
Anker AK-A1206012 10000mAh External Battery Power Bank or Lumsing 15000mAh Portable Charger or Aukey 12000mAh Portable Power Bank Charger External Battery Pack or Lumsing QC 3.0 13400 mAh or Anker PowerCore 10000. Those where the ones I researched.
@JamestheLol
As I mentioned in the other thread, those can not be recommended in good conscience since they are not USB-C. They may work well enough for you, they may not. Many reports of batteries draining while playing Zelda... Lots of solid recommendations for USB-C batteries in this thread, including the one I linked earlier

All that "Qualcomm Fast Charge" doesn't work with Switch. That's proprietary charge methods for specific brands that use it. The only thing Switch does is use Power Delivery spec for USB-C, which allows higher voltage profiles with PD compliant chargers. So instead of getting 5V, you get 15V. There is evidence Switch still will not take more than 15W 18W undocked (my friend just tested) even with PD chargers, but it's still better than the 10W you'd get with a non-PD charger.
But that brings up a point. USB-C should provide 5V 3A, yet Switch only takes 2A. Which means, in theory, USB-A could provide the same level of charging as standard non-PD USB-C, provided its rated at 2A or higher (not all USB-A are though). I'd still say go with USB-C though, or at least only go with USB-A if you can confirm with someone that it's verified to be charging while playing Zelda. Most complaints of batteries not providing enough juice to keep charging while playing, I suspect stem from using USB-A to C instead of C to C

I've been doing alot of research to verify correct info and sit seems others have too. Found this- it it matches the 18W PD cap and 10W USB C cap me and my friend discovered with testing. I'll post on 1st page with an edit as well.
It does. I just dont want to buy a portable charger and then later find out there is a better one. I watch alot of videos and they all tell me to buy this and this one. I really dont know which one to get. I really appreciate you taking time to do this, but I have like 5 portable chargers and dont know which one is the best to get.
Use the handy infographic to decide if something's a good fit for you and then buy it. Don't worry about futureproofing so much. USB-C devices will get cheaper over time.
