Belkin’s Joy-Con grips extend Switch 2 battery life
▼ Summary
– Belkin’s Charging Grip adds three to four hours of playtime to the Nintendo Switch 2 via an included 10,000mAh battery pack.
– The accessory improves the Switch 2’s ergonomics with beefier, nonslip grips for the Joy-Con controllers.
– The Charging Grip is available from Belkin’s online store in black, lilac, and olive green for $99.99.
– The magnetic 10,000mAh battery attaches to the back of the Switch 2, but the handheld does not support MagSafe.
– Belkin’s other Switch 2 accessories, like the Charging Case Pro, focus on protecting and powering the device.
Most of Belkin’s latest accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2 focus on keeping the device safe or juiced up. The new Charging Grip manages to do both at once, while also giving players a more comfortable hold on the console.
This accessory pairs a 10,000mAh battery pack with redesigned, nonslip grips for the Joy-Con controllers. The result is an extra three to four hours of gameplay, depending on usage, and a more secure feel during long sessions. Belkin’s Charging Case Pro similarly combines protection and power, but the Charging Grip targets those who want a better handheld experience without sacrificing battery life.
The magnetic battery attaches to the back of the Switch 2. However, since the handheld lacks native MagSafe support, the connection relies on a physical grip and alignment rather than magnets alone. The grips themselves are larger and more textured than the standard Joy-Con shells, aimed at reducing hand fatigue during marathon gaming.
Belkin’s Charging Grip is now available directly from the company’s website in three color options: black, lilac, and olive green. It carries a retail price of $99.99. For Switch 2 owners looking to extend playtime and improve ergonomics simultaneously, this accessory offers a straightforward, all-in-one solution.
