Anker partners with Nintendo on two new USB-C battery packs designed for the Switch

The Nintendo Switch is a fantastic option for gaming on the go, but playing demanding console games while you're out and about can seriously drain your battery life. Now, if you need some extra juice while you're out, Anker has you covered with two new USB-C battery backs that have been specifically designed to quickly recharge Nintendo's portable console.

Now, the Switch uses a standard USB-C port for charging, so pretty much any USB-C PD battery pack with a high enough power output will work in a pinch.

Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand.
