anyone has tried and tested a portable charger that can still charge the switch while playing zelda?

looked through the chat and saw zmi 10 (qb820) which seems to be a good option since it can output max 40w (switch needs 39w) but the price on carousell is abit too high :(

There are very few power banks that support USB Power Delivery 2.0 right now. The ZMI 10 is one, Ravpower has one too but I can't recall the model number. In fact, I would expect PD2.0-capable power banks of this capacity to be all around $60-100.

For practicality, most Switch users I know of just bought a normal 5V/2A power bank. This is enough to charge the Switch when it's asleep, or continue to power the console when it's low on battery and "dong" until you reach home, but it's unable to power and charge at the same time at the same rate as the included adapter. Since the Switch doesn't seem to draw more than 2A regardless of voltage, the only way to have both power+charge happening at the same time (and not worry about wireless and brightness impact on power draw/battery life) is to go higher than 5V (hence PD2.0), something most power banks don't currently support.
