If you're hoping to find a solution for your ever-draining Switch battery, and just so happen to love a good Black Friday deal, then you've certainly come to the right place.
Anker's PowerCore 20100 is currently being offered for a very attractive price on Amazon. This device can be used to boost your Switch's battery when out and about, and is actually the same model as the PowerCore 20100 Nintendo Switch Edition. The branded variant has a suggested retail price of $89.99, so ignoring that one for the standard equivalent is definitely a smart move.
As you can below, the standard power bank is currently available on Amazon for £32.99, but if you use this code at checkout - 4RT4IFKX - you'll be able to snag one for just £24.74. For that price, you'll get the portable charger itself, a micro USB cable, a travel pouch, a welcome guide, 18-month warranty, and a USB-C cable - perfect for anyone who needs extra battery juice on the go.

Spoiler warning, this is NOT the exact same model.
The Nintendo Switch edition supports the Power Delivery standard which is used to fast-charge supported USB-C devices.
This specific Powercore 20100 Power Bank is an older model that does not support Power Delivery. It will only charge devices slowly.
@RupeeClock
Thanks for the heads up. Was looking at this thinking it's too good to be true.
@kobalt I do personally have this exact power bank, and it's excellent for when I go on my day-long Pokémon Go activities. It keeps my phone charged for as long as I keep it plugged in.
But it's not the super-fast Nintendo Switch charger you're hoping it to be.
Dear Nintendo life team I would like to use your affiliation links but for some reason your UK links never work for me (it sends me to Amazon.com instead) but thanks for the heads up and discount code...
2 video ads on one short article. Not good for my data.
Lol look at this toy. I have a 50,000 mAh imuto brand brick with 3 outputs that I bought back shortly after the Switch launched. It can handle charging my Switch, phone and tablet all while using them at the same time.
It was only 50 bucks on sale too. The one I have uses micro-USB to input power but they have since released a newer model that my friend bought that uses USB-C. I just didn't feel the need to upgrade for that alone.
Come on guys do your research. Of course they are not the same model abliet the Nintendo logo. As stated earlier the official Nintendo version has usb C power delivery in/out, allowing a full charge of the battery in 3 hours and charging the switch as fast as the it would when docked. Also it is optimised for the switch charging slightly quicker then other PD power banks.
I bought one last week at very for £39.99 in the half price sale. Excellent charger for the switch.
@heavyarms55 I like my imuto but two have failed within a year. Also the battery indicator is near useless as it's terribly inaccurate. I am hoping better from Anker. Btw the imuto you are describing is HUGE compared to the Nintendo Anker 20100
For the budget minded the Anker 10400mAh model is only £9.99 at MyMemory.co.uk
@Sulleymonster Huh. That's quite odd. I've had mine for well over a year now without issue. I wonder if you got some pretty bad luck.
@Heavyarms55 internet search suggest that they are not the best for longevity. Their customer service is second to none though as they have replaced both with new versions. Good little company.
I have that model, and it doesn't charge my Switch :/
@RupeeClock
Thats kinda what i wanted it for. I travel alot and usually the switch dies long before my destination. Gives me a reason to show my 3ds love but yeah looking to keep the switch running.
And for cheap too lol.
Ah well keeping my peepers open for something else.
Thanks but my dock and power cable (which came with the Switch Pro Controller) charge my Switch just fine.
@Sulleymonster was going to point out it’s hardly comparable. One will tuck In your pocket comfortably.
I thought you wanted to stay away from charging your Switch with a USB-A to USB-C connector since cheap USB-A to USB-C connectors were causing systems to brick earlier this year.
Wrong.
The switch one has usb c in and out. That's exactly the point, as it allows you to charge the thing before the end of the century and juice up the switch on its normal capacity.
