Overview
- Belkin launched the Charging Grip, which went on sale June 4, 2026, from the company store for $99.99 with the battery or $39.99 for the grip-only case, and it ships in Black, Lilac, and Olive.
- The product combines a protective slip case, beefier nonslip Joy-Con grip handles, and a removable 10,000mAh power bank that Belkin says provides about a 1.5x recharge and shows remaining charge on a small screen.
- Because the Switch 2 lacks native magnetic accessory support and wireless charging, the battery fastens to the Belkin case with magnets and plugs into the console’s top USB-C port with an integrated cable that delivers up to 30W.
- Users can keep the kickstand and detach Joy-Con controllers while the case is on, but the battery must be removed before sliding the console into a TV dock, creating a trade-off between extra playtime and dock convenience.
- The launch extends Belkin’s Switch 2 accessory lineup and answers ongoing complaints about the console’s short battery life, likely driving more third-party accessory purchases even as it adds weight and a new docking step for players.
