Since the Asus ROG Ally and ROG Ally X are such powerful devices, it's not all that surprising that they drains their batteries rather quickly. You can easily improve upon this by purchasing one of the best ROG Ally power banks to juice the handheld back up so you can keep gaming. However, you need to make sure that you get the right battery otherwise it won't be able to keep up with the Ally's power consumption needs. This is especially true if you're wanting to play games in ROG Ally's Turbo mode as this requires at least a 65W power flow.

Below, I've listed the very best ROG Ally power banks available right now as well as go over what to look for in a ROG Ally battery pack. You might also want to check out the best ROG Ally microSD cards or learn how to upgrade an ASUS ROG Ally SSD while you're at it.

You're going to want at least a 65W power bank with a larger capacity for your ROG Ally or Ally X. (Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)

The ROG Ally is an amazing gaming handheld, but it eats battery life like nobody's business.

For this reason, it's smart to grab a battery pack if you want to play for long stretches or if you see yourself playing the handheld on the go.

You want to look for a battery pack with a high mAh capacity (preferably around 20,000mAh or higher), so it will last longer.

Meanwhile, you need to get a battery pack that offers an output of at least 65W or higher to keep up with the ROG Ally and Ally X's power needs.

If you want the very best option, go for the Anker PowerCore A1291. It comes with a USB-C cable, offers an 87W max output that can easily handle the Ally's Tubro mode, and has a high 25,600mAh capacity that will last for long stretches of gaming time.

Plus, it comes with a useful power adapter to help you charge the battery or your ROG Ally up faster. It's everything you need whether you're taking the ROG Ally on a trip or are simply out running errands.

Meanwhile, if you're looking for a cheap but reliable budget option, then I highly recommend the INIU Power Bank 65W 25,000mAh. It costs less than many other devices on this list but still has the power and capacity to suit the ROG Ally.

Alternately, if you're looking for something that provides plenty of information and charging convenience while still being relatively thin, then the Baseus Blade is the power bank to buy.

It has an impressive 100W output with a 20,000mAh capacity. Thanks to the helpful LED display, you can always tell how much battery life is left in it, what the charging power is, and what the estimated recharging or charging time is.

Remember, at the very least, you need to get a power bank that offers 65W power flow to keep up with the ROG Ally or Ally X's needs.

Otherwise, you won't be able to play and recharge the gaming handheld at the same time. The higher the capacity (mAh), the more recharge time you'll get from a battery pack.

Can you use a power bank with ROG Ally and ROG Ally X?

Yes. You can charge up an ROG Ally or ROG Ally X using a power bank as long as the power bank offers at least a 65W power flow. This provides enough power to charge the device while you play.

What is the best power bank for ROG Ally?

There are many options available. Our favorite one doubles as a power bank and a pass through wall charger. That way, even if it's out of juice, you can still use it to provide power to the ROG Ally or Ally X.

How long does ROG Ally last with a power bank?

This will depend on the capacity of the power bank that you are using. The higher the capacity, the longer your Ally will be sustained for. In general, the ROG Ally can play more demanding games at max TDP for about 51 minutes. Meanwhile, at those same settings, the Ally X can last for about two hours and 10 minutes. If you have the TDP and screen brightness at lower settings, you can play both devices longer.

Is it okay to play ROG Ally while charging?

Yes, it certainly is. The ROG Ally will get a bit hotter around the USB-C port if it is plugged in while you play, but it won't hurt the system. You can still play games this way.
