Nintendo Switch struggles to get a charge from a lot of battery packs

Nintendo’s new hybrid home/handheld console is due out this Friday (read our review), and it has a USB-C port on the bottom. You can use that to connect it to its dock and play games on your TV. But you can also use it to charge directly from the wall or from a battery pack using a USB-C cable.
