There are times when it may be useful to take your Switch dock with you. Unfortunately, the original Switch dock is not particularly tiny and removing it from its place in the house may be troublesome. If so, here is a very inexpensive solution. Amazon currently has Poweradd 65W docking charger for Nintendo Switch for only $10.79 when you clip the 20% off coupon on the product page and apply the code 50% off”ESBRBEUE” at checkout. This “dock” is as tiny as a standard wall charger, has both USB Type-C and HDMI ports like the original Switch dock, and supports up to 65W of power, which is more than enough for charging Nintendo Switch at a maximum power of 18 W.
Update: This deal expired very quickly yesterday, but it looks like it’s back.

The Poweradd dock charger plugs directly into an outlet and has four ports: a USB Type-C port, a USB Type-A port, an HDMI port, and an Ethernet port. At the fastest speed, the Switch will continue to charge even while playing games. The HDMI port allows you to connect the Switch to a TV. Poweradd supports resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz, which is more than enough for the Nintendo Switch since the maximum resolution you can achieve is 1080p at 60 Hz.
The biggest advantage of the Poweradd is that it is much smaller than the Switch dock. This makes it much easier to put it in your bag without having to buy another, larger Switch case. A USB Type-C cable is also included, so all you need is a Nintendo Switch and an HDMI cable.
This 65W model is also perfect for Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally
Nintendo Switch isn’t the only console that works well with this dock. Steam Deck accepts charging power up to 40 W, and Asus ROG Ally up to 65 W. The Poweradd dock can charge at the maximum charging speed. The HDMI output is also compatible with both for streaming to an external TV or monitor. Both the Steam Deck and Asus ROG Ally can output up to 4K at 60Hz via HDMI, so they can get more utilize out of this charger than the Switch.
