Current = Amp
U can have charger or powerbank with 1A, 2A, 5A or 10A.
If your handphone or devices only required input 1A, whichever above u used will be the same. It will only draw 1A.

Whereas Voltage is different.
If your devices only requires 5V, u plug in a 10V charger it will KO.

U can try another test. Use the charger plug direct into switch.
It actually wont charge that fast cause its output is 5V/1.5A
Xiaomi powerbank is faster due to its 5.1V

Also would like check with u, does xiaomi gen 2 has the auto cut off function when source is fully charged? Really like that function. Xiaomi gen 2 really jin ex...

There.. you get my point. I did not for once say the Switch charger can charge faster than Romoss Powerbank. I kept saying that Xiaomi Gen 2 10000mah at 5.1v and Xiaomi Gen 2 20000mah at 12v can charge the Switch faster than Romoss Powerbank.

Are you sure? I'm not super knowledgeable on this though. Because what i read is it support quick charge input(Charge the powerbank) but not output.

Quote this from a reviewer site (note this is for the 20000mah):

"It makes use of high-density Li-polymer batteries. The single port power output on the Mi Power Bank 2 is 5V/2.4A – 9V/2A and 12V/1.5A. The combined dual port rating is unchanged at 5V/3.6A.

According to Xiaomi, the Mi Power Bank 2 can charge a Xiaomi Mi Max (which has a whopping 4850mAh battery) within 2.5 hours. It supports 18W charging and low-current discharging as well."

Yeah. I concur. You are right. Support output too. Get this. But wait for game otaku lab rat testing first haha

I think this is a good powerbank for the Switch.

okay, i think this is a little confusing about power bank.... i have been reading this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/5x948s/answering_your_questions_about_usb_typec/

tl;dr the switch is capable of accepting 12v charging, that is why xiaomi gen2, or xiaomi power bank pro can charge it faster, it is charging over 12v 1.5A.

That is correct. With a 12v/1.5A output, the Xiaomi gen 2 20000mah will definitely charge faster than other 5v charger such as Romoss 4/6/6p. Definitely not an overkill.

BUY XIAOMI GEN 2 POWER BANK NOW!!!

 

[koroshiya8]

anyone knows the games that are available as of today locally (besides the 2 as pert of the package).

 

[Kiddream]

Why cannot? Exceed the capacity?

[simcher]

airline have limit of 100Wh i think.... 20000mah is 72wh already....

 

[Op_Valkyrie]

If you look at the back of the Switch unit itself (not the charger), it has a input rating of 15v/2.6A. This means it can still draw 39w if a charger allows it too. The Switch charger output rating does not mean it is the optimized way to charge the Switch itself. Tested charging with Xiaomi 10000mah gen 2 (with a maximum output rating of 15w) and it definitely charges faster than Romoss sense 6P (10.5w). Charging time from 0 to 100% is about 1 hr faster. Have both batteries and tested them myself so i know.. GPGT.

So yes, go for the Xiaomi gen 2 20000mah (18w output) or Xiaomi gen 2 10000mah (15w output) for faster charging.
