When Nintendo created the Switch, they managed to combine their knack for pure, childlike gaming bliss with some innovative technological achievements. So it’s no surprise that the system is their biggest hit in decades. But while the Switch has no shortage of cool features, there’s one thing it is short on: battery power.
The system itself only lasts a few hours in portable mode, and the detachable controllers, or Joy-Cons, have their own equally limited batteries. Plus, the only out-of-the-box method for re-charging is to place the Switch (with Joy-Cons locked in) on the charging cradle.
The experience gets frustrating when you’re about to butt-stomp a Broodal in Super Mario Odyssey or conquer your first Lynel in Breath of the Wild, and suddenly the “Joy-Con Low Battery” message pops up. If you don’t have a spare set of pre-charged Joy-Cons, it’s game over.
This is where the 4-in-1 Joy-Con Charger Dock comes in. This simple accessory can put an end to your battery struggles and enable a stress-free Switch experience. And for less than $16, it’s a no brainer.
If you’ve got two pairs of Joy-Cons, this compact charging station is a great way to bring them all up to 100% at the same time. This allows you to play with one pair, and have a fully charged backup pair on deck, eliminating unexpected interruptions to your Switch sessions. The LED indicators on the dock tell you the charging status of each Joy-Con, so you always know which pair is ready to go. Plus, its compact size and non-slip grip make it a perfect addition to your TV stand or media console.
The 4-in-1 Joy-Con Charger Dock normally retails for $29.99, but after a 46% discount, you can extend your Switch experience for just $15.99.
