The 10,000 mAh magnetic battery sticks to the back of the Switch 2, but since the portable device doesn’t support magnetic accessories natively, you’ll need to use the included protective case to attach it. There are no wireless charging capabilities on the Switch 2 either, so the battery relies on a short, built-in USB-C cable that delivers 30W of power via the console’s top USB-C port.
