A 30W magnetic clip is the reason the Antank B5 is our default for the Switch 2. The bank snaps onto the back of the console, leaving the USB-C port free for wired headphones or a controller, and the 30W PD output is the faster handheld charging spec in this set. That combination makes the console feel like one object instead of a screen tethered to a cable.
The kit includes two magnetic clips, one for the Switch 2 and one for the Switch or OLED, plus two short USB-C cables. We appreciate the spare clip if you also carry an older Switch, and the 0.47-pound weight is light enough to leave attached between sessions.
The 10,000mAh cell is sized for a long session, not a weekend off-grid. It can top up a phone as well, and the magnetic hold stays put in ordinary handheld play. We did notice the pack can run warm during a long session, so give it some air rather than burying it under a blanket. The two-year warranty is longer than most of the Switch-specific packs here, which adds some peace of mind for a battery that lives in a bag.
The B5 is the one we hand to someone who wants the Switch 2 to feel like a handheld, not a console attached to a battery. It is not the biggest bank here, but it is the most natural fit for the console.
Pros
- 30W PD charging for handheld play
- Magnetic clip keeps USB-C port free
- Two clips fit Switch 2 and older Switch
- Light enough to leave attached
Cons
- Clip must come off before docking
- Adds depth to the console
For handheld Switch 2 play, we make the Antank B5 our default: 30W charging, a secure magnetic clip, and a light 10,000mAh body that leaves the USB-C port free.
