Is this safe? I read a reddit post regarding not getting powerbanks with Qualcom quickcharge 3.0.. I did read in the same thread that it's more important to be concerned about the cable that you are using with such devices rather than the device itself..

Any experts here can shed some light ?

Is 40% even enough though? I was using the Hori one with 35% and it still strains the eye. Ended up going with the 99% from Cyber.

Mind to tell bought from where?

Just to share, this wouldn't be approved in flights because the capacity is above the limit.

This seems works well without USB PD

Two piece of the three-piece puzzle completed. Benson Leung approved USB-C cable and USB-PD charger, to charge the last remaining piece of device left missing in this picture: the powerbank. Picking up that powerbank tonight. That Aukey 30000mAh will be replaced, has been the workhorse charging all the portable devices carried out all this while, will continue to do so unless I need USD-PD.

Guys i cant stand the stupidity of an unprofessional seller, TRUEGAMERS.

1. They messed up the 11 street webpage and cause my 2k credit has logged and need to wait 14 days to refund.
2. Promised will give a screen proctector FOC as a token due to the issue happened in 11 street, however i only receive the bundle but no SP.
3. send several message in whatsapp but no one is follow up, no apologize as well.

I rather buy from IMPULSE instead of TRUEGAMERS, i ordered something from IMPULSE and i get reply rapidly and receive my item in the same day.

TRUEGAMERS SUCKS!

Oh ya, talking about warranty, i did not receive any receipt from TRUEGAMERS. Is my warranty still claimable?

Good news to those who didn't get the chance to buy Switch.

NINTENDO PLANS TO DOUBLE SWITCH PRODUCTION

And now, my charging results. Bear in mind, these are totally unscientific, it's based on how fast I can charge the Switch via the USB-C PD port compared to charging it via the USB-A port delivering a 5V 2.4A charge.

Here are the ingredients:



The Xiaomi ZMI QB820 powerbank, the Nexus 6P, the USB-C to USB-C Apple cable approved by Benson Leung and Nathan K (model number MLL82AM/A (A1739), and the Switch itself.

What I did was discharge the Switch's internal battery, by connecting it to the Nexus 6P. The Switch now acts as a battery for the Nexus, with this notification coming up on the Nexus 6P.



The Switch was fresh out of the dock, at 100%. Drained its battery to 90%, but as I unplugged the Nexus 6P away from the Switch, the percentage drops to 89%, so I took it as 11% for the calculation later.

I then ran this scene in Zelda BOTW, with grass billowing in the wind, and Link's constantly beeping health warning and ambient music in the background. The display was set at maximum brightness and audio cranked up to maximum volume as well.



The Switch is then plugged into the USB-C PD port on the ZMI QB820 powerbank, and I started the timer on the Nexus 6P to measure the time it takes for the the powerbank to charge the Switch in this condition (max brightness, max volume, graphics intensive scene in Zelda BOTW with constant health warning beeping and ambient background music) to charge to 100% back again. It completed the full charge at 22 minutes 43 seconds. That's roughly 1% every 2 minutes.

From the article posted during the early days of Switch release and powerbank tests done with USB-A ports on regular powerbanks, it was stated that standard 5V 3A powerbank used in this article by ArsTechnica only able to trickle-charge 1% every 6 minutes under unknown play condition (volume and/or brightness at what level, playing what game, and at which section of that game in?). This already beats expectation, but I had to do my own digging to be sure, so I tested it again, draining it again to 89% (for parity), and this time, charging it via the the QB820's 5V 2.4A USB-A port. After the same time (22 minutes 43 seconds) have elapse, it barely able to charge the Switch up to 91% from its previous 89%, a.k.a 2% within that span of 22 minutes.

Charging the Switch via third party USB-PD device has one quirk. You NEED to turn off your Switch, plug in your USB-C cable to the Switch, turn on your powerbank/external wall charger, before the Switch can negotiate a higher charging draw from the device that is charging it. I had previously plugged the Switch to the QB820 powerbank and the Tronsmart U5P USB-PD wall charger, and I did not get any "charging notification" at all and the Switch eventually slowly drains. I suspect the Switch did not recognise the USB-PD device that is attempting to charge it, and as such, only releases the safest charging profile available (I reckon it's 5V 0.9A charge profile, the default USB3.0 charge via PC USB port), which is too low to be recognised as a charge or fail to charge completely. Remember, reboot your Switch, plug in your third party USB-PD charger/powerbank.

These are the chain of devices that I currently have to make my Switch-playing time uninterruptible. Or, you can just carry the official Nintendo AC adapter with you and be done with.


The QB820, despite it carrying the Xiaomi's name associating itself mostly with being "affordable or cheap", feels the opposite of that. The outer shell is cold to the touch, confirming its metal escapsulating outer shell construction. Has 4 dots on the side to denote charge level left. And with the USB-PD Tronsmart U5P wall charger, I'm charging it rapidly as well. 20,000mAh in the size of a Nexus 6P. The only way this powerbank can be any more perfect is with more charge capacity. The powerbank itself doubles as a USB Hub when connected via USB-C, I don't know what other powerbank with USB-PD capable of charging a low power laptop that can do that!

Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any blown Switches or any bodily harm that happens should you choose to emulate my setup here. I wish someone more knowledgable than me like Benson Leung or Nathan K can verify this setup as safe to use.

Play anywhere. Play everywhere.

Coffee, Switch and chill. And battery never less than 100% with the QB820.

Nintendo Parental Control app.

imagine 10 guys carrying a 20000mah into an airplane, then they pass to a single guy.

Got the numbers I need to justify why I'm saying that the QB820 is the best option for me, for powering up the Switch on the go.



The condition:

Zelda BOTW, max brightness, max volume, WiFi on.

The figures:



Bonus figures:


Yup, the justifications were indeed correct. The best combo you can have now for charging at home and on the outdoors are the official Nintendo AC charger, the Anker PowerPort+ 5 and the Xiaomi QB820. Numbers don't lie.

Also from those figures, QuickCharge or any other formats of fast-charging other than USB-PD does not charge the Switch any faster than your standard USB-A charger.

extra juice..
