Antank introduces the B5 battery pack with a slim, magnetic design for the Nintendo Switch 2, enabling easier on-the-go charging without adding bulk, alongside a versatile docking stand for hybrid gaming setups.
Antank’s B5 battery pack is an unusually neat answer to a simple problem: how to keep a Nintendo Switch 2 powered without turning handheld play into a tangle of cables. According to the review from Korben, the accessory uses a thin rear shell and a magnetic mount to lock on securely, with the power bank sitting flat against the back of the console rather than hanging off the side. That design makes it far easier to carry on trains, flights or longer journeys, where balance and cable management matter as much as raw capacity.
Antank says the B5 has a 10,000mAh capacity, 30W wired charging and 15W magnetic wireless charging for iPhones, with built-in protection against over-current, over-voltage, overheating and short circuits. The company also lists compatibility with the Switch 2, Switch OLED and iPhone 12 to 16 models, alongside a 24-month warranty. Korben’s test found the weight penalty modest at 213g, and the reviewer said the battery remained stable in daily use.
The more specialised accessory is the SW2 Hub, a folding stand that doubles as a 6-in-1 docking solution. Antank describes it as a magnetic aluminium alloy stand with 360-degree adjustment, HDMI output, two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports and an Ethernet port, aimed at players who switch between handheld and television use. Korben found it less essential than the battery itself, but useful because the rear attachment can stay on the console when moving from portable play to a TV setup.
Taken together, the two products show how third-party makers are adapting to the Switch 2’s hybrid format, especially for users who want more battery life or a cleaner desk and travel setup. That market has become more relevant as some accessory makers have struggled with compatibility changes around third-party docks, with GamesRadar recently noting that only a limited number of alternatives remain dependable. In that context, Antank’s pitch is straightforward: add power, keep the console tidy and avoid the clutter that often comes with portable charging gear.
