Yeah, the Anker PowerCore 20100 Nintendo Switch Edition can definitely charge devices other than the Switch. While it's specially made for the Switch, it can handle other gadgets, too. The manufacturer notes that it's the first officially licensed portable charger for the Switch, designed to keep it powered even while you're playing.

With a capacity of 20100mAh, this power bank can give about 2.5 full charges to the Switch, which is great for long gaming sessions. But here's the thing—it has two charging ports. So, you can charge your Switch and something else, like a smartphone, at the same time.

Our research found that it's also effective for USB-C devices in general.

However, there were some hiccups when folks used cables not provided with the product. According to our research, some people fixed charging issues by switching out the USB-C to USB-C cable they were using.

All in all, people are pretty happy with it. It’s a solid choice for keeping the Switch and other devices powered, just be mindful of using the right cables for the best performance.

If you do run into any issues, our research suggests that customer support or swapping out a faulty cable usually solves the problem.
