Mophie - powerstation mini External Battery - Orange $9.99 @ Bestbuy.com

saved 50$ and only had to spend 59 cents out of pocket after best buy's 10$ promo code they sent me thanks!

 
It is reported that the Switch uses a 4,310mAh battery.  This battery pack is only 2500mAh, which is quite small.  You will only be charging the switch's battery by about 50% at best with this pack, so you may get an extra hour or two of gameplay depending on what you are playing.

If you are going for a pack for the switch, I would try to find a decent 10,000mAh or greater battery pack.  You can typically find them for $5 - $15 more for a reputable name brand.  That would allow you to charge the Switch battery a couple of times

 
I just want to say again, as I see it was once said, this is incredibly overpriced and weak. Can't even fully charge a switch or close to it.

Anker has fast charge ones for a little more that are far larger in capacity. You could get away with charging one thing once with this mophie. Or you can spend 5-15 more and get away with charging something 2-6 times or your switch twice.

Or for around $30 get one of the powercore 20100 that has 20,000mAh that could charge your stuff 8-12 times or the switch 4 times over and then some.

This is a no brainier.  It is a terrible deal. This mophie is the same capacity as those five below and walmart $2-5 batteries.

$10 for 2500 mAH is pretty weak, i paid $17 for anker 10000 mAH on amazon (and it's the size of a credit card). anker usually have discount codes every week.

 
I really hope they release a new version of the PowerCore Edge with USB C. Would be a nice capacity and physical size.

I have yet to see an large usb c ankler...I hope they release one soon.
The powercore+ 20100 has usbc. But why bother. There are plenty of USB to USBC cords that will work just fine with older powercores. I charge my Pixel C just as fast as the wall adapter with my non usb-c powercore 26800. I have faith it will do fine with a switch.

The only benefit I can see with my powercore+ 20100 is that it charges the powercore faster. But even then it isn't fast enough to notice since I need to start charging them both overnight to get them from dead to full.

For me it's the ability to transfer power. My laptop is C, as is my phone. One cord.
 
I bought a 5,000 one 2-3 years ago for $10-12. Hell I found two 2,000 ones in a closet where I used to live (It was a junk room. Also had two GBA SPs.)
