For a narrow time, Amazon has brought back one of its best Black Friday power bank deals. The Anker Zolo 10,000 mAh 30 W USB power bank dropped to just $15.59, which is a 40% discount off the original price of $26. This is a great deal on a 10,000 mAh power bank from Anker that can quickly charge your Nintendo Switch at maximum speed. Zolo is compact, can fully charge your Switch console more than once, and has some unique, useful features like a built-in USB cable and a cautious digital display. Moreover, it is dressed in occasional pastel shades of blue, pink and white.
Anker Zolo 10,000 mAh USB power bank for $15.59
There are two reasons why this power bank is the perfect battery protector for your Nintendo Switch: capacity and charging speed. The 10,000 mAh (37 Wh) power bank can charge the Nintendo Switch OLED from empty to full approximately 1.9 times. As long as you fully charge your Switch from the start, which will almost triple your total game time. At the same time, a 10,000 mAh power bank still occupies a fairly diminutive area; for example, this particular model is about the size of an iPhone and weighs under 8 ounces. The Anker Zolo power bank also boasts a charging power of 30 W via USB Type-C. The Nintendo Switch console accepts a maximum charging speed of 18W. This means that this power bank will be able to charge your Switch at the same speed as the official Nintendo charger.
Zolo has a built-in USB cable, but it is not retractable. Instead, you attach it to yourself so that it forms a secure loop that is forceful enough to be used like a leash. I have this power bank myself and I can say that the loop is quite solid. There is also a separate USB Type-C port that can be used as input or output. Finally, there is a plain digital display that shows the battery percentage.
TSA approved
Please note that TSA requires all power banks to be taken in carry-on luggage; Power banks cannot be used during check-in regardless of capacity. The Anker Power Bank’s 10,000 mAh capacity is well below the TSA limit of 27,000 mAh, so you can take it on a plane. It is also cautious enough that no one will notice it. If a TSA official actually takes the initiative to check the strength of your power bank, you have no doubts.
