It’s replacing the stock Nintendo pack, screwing on to the back and offering double the battery life. The company is also releasing a new charging stand that will let you juice up that pack just by setting it down, necessary because the stock charging pad won’t work with this new pack. The Power Pak+ will cost $19.99 and ships on March 27, while the Charge Base is $29.99 and hits stores a week later.
