Belkin just delivered one of those accessories you didn't know you needed until they existed β their new Charging Grip for the Switch 2 slots a massive 10,000mAh battery right onto the back while simultaneously making the Joy-Cons WAY easier to hold without sacrificing portability at all! What sold me immediately is that this isn't just another gimmicky add-on; it actually adds three or four additional hours of playtime by funneling power through a short integrated USB-C cable that delivers 30W via the top port (there's no wireless charging on the Switch 2 itself, so Belkin went with this clever wired setup). A small LCD screen on the battery pack keeps you in the loop showing exactly how much juice is left, which feels like a really nice touch when you're sitting down for long sessions.
Now here's where it gets interesting β the magnetic attachment works great once you snap on the included protective case (since the Switch 2 doesn't support magnets natively), and Belkin confirmed this configuration won't interfere with using the kickstand at all. Even better, you can still slot the console into your TV dock while wearing that protective shell as long as you pop off that battery pack first before launching into couch mode. The whole system works whether your Joy-Cons are clamped onto the handheld or detached entirely, so it's actually pretty versatile for how people play differently on this thing. Available in black, lilac, and olive green colors through Belkin's online store at $99.99 right now β if you're constantly chasing that battery anxiety mid-game (and let me be honest, I know a lot of us do), this feels like the perfect middle ground between "I'll just keep it plugged in" and actually needing an external power brick!
