You can charge the battery in Belkin’s new Switch 2 power case without opening it

Belkin has announced a new version of one of its first accessories for the Switch 2 at CES 2026. The Charging Case Pro for Nintendo Switch 2 carries forward the same 10,000mAh internal battery as the original, but it’s been redesigned so you don’t need to remove the battery to charge it, and you no longer need a short cable to connect it to the console.

The interior of the original version of the case was designed to prop up the Switch 2 using the handheld’s own flip-out stand, but the new Pro version comes with an adjustable stand of its own, integrated into its redesigned battery. Similar to inserting the Switch 2 into its dock, the console connects to a USB-C port that delivers power when it’s placed on the stand. The new case also has a flap for holding game cartridges, a mesh pocket for storing other accessories, and a hidden compartment for stashing trackers like an AirTag or one of Tile’s. It also comes with a $30 price bump. Belkin’s original Charge Case for Nintendo Switch 2 launched last June for $69.99, but the new Pro version is available now for $99.99.
