Belkin's Charging Grip adds 10,000mAh to Switch 2 for longer playtime

Belkin’s Charging Grip for the Nintendo Switch 2 adds a magnetic 10,000mAh battery to the back (via a protective case), boosting playtime by about 3–4 hours and improving ergonomics. Priced at $99.99 with color options in black, lilac, and olive green, the battery attaches magnetically but the case is needed since the Switch 2 doesn’t natively support magnets. It uses a USB-C 30W connection, shows remaining charge, and the Switch 2 can still dock if the battery is removed; the grips work with Joy-Cons attached, detached, or docked.

Belkin's Switch 2 Pro case adds power and storage, but at a premium

Belkin's Pro Charging Case for the Nintendo Switch 2 packs a 10,000mAh battery, doubles as a stand, includes built-in game storage and a hidden AirTag pouch, and adds a front-edge USB‑C cutout plus an external port so you can recharge the Switch 2 without pulling a cable; it’s a more elegant, convenient solution than the non‑Pro but costs $100, is bigger and heavier, and the battery isn’t ideal as a standalone pack, so it’s worth it mainly if you want an all‑in‑one charging/media case.

Wemo Sunset: Belkin Shuts Down Cloud Features, Urges HomeKit Migration

Belkin will end support for most Wemo smart-home devices by Jan. 31, 2026, shutting down the Wemo app and cloud services; as a result, cloud-based features like remote access, schedules, and integrations with Alexa and Google Assistant will stop working, and devices will no longer function as smart devices even if the hardware powers on. A subset of Wemo devices compatible with Apple HomeKit can continue working if users migrate before the deadline, while older devices may not support HomeKit and should be reset and recycled. Refunds may be available for in-warranty devices after the end date, but eligibility varies. Users should migrate to Apple HomeKit or replace devices and remove the Wemo app after services shut down.
