The Asus ROG Ally is a powerful portable gaming console running Windows 11. It's one of the best Steam Deck alternatives, and has flown off shelves since launch. With how much performance it boasts, you’ll want to play it constantly, but the battery life means you’ll be plugging it in constantly. To keep your console topped up, we’ve compiled a list of the best chargers for the ROG Ally. Some of these will be a backup to the charger it is bundled with, while others add additional ports or even an external GPU for more graphical power.

    This small charging brick can keep your ROG Ally and other accessories juiced up with fast charging and up to 65W of power delivery. The only thing you need is a cable; unfortunately, it doesn't come with one in the box. Still, it's small, powerful, and won't block the socket next to it when you plug it in.

    This is the charger for you if the ROG Ally is going to be used at your desk while plugged into a monitor. It'll keep the console and up to five other devices supplied with power. You'll get up to 140W on two of the ports. Cables aren't included, so keep that in mind.

  • Best value
    Amazon Basics 65W GaN Charger

    Trust Amazon to replace your charger in a hurry with one-day Prime shipping and a crazy-low price from its Amazon Basics line. The only downside is that it only has one USB-C output, but it can charge your USB-C device at up to 65W, and the prongs fold down when not in use to avoid damage to your bag.

  • Official pick
    Asus ROG 65W Charger Dock

    Asus' first-party charging solution for the ROG Ally is also a miniaturized docking station, with HDMI 2.0 output to an external monitor or TV and a USB-A port for adding a keyboard, mouse, or USB storage to the gaming handheld while charging at 65W.

  • Best power bank
    Anker 737 PowerCore

    Keep your portable gaming sessions going even when away from wall sockets with 24,000mAh of stored power and up to 140W of output. That's way more output than the ROG Ally needs, so you've got capacity to spare for your smartphone, your earbuds, and anything else you might be carrying.

    Want to play games on your ROG Ally at higher resolutions or higher frame rates? Plug it into the ROG XG Mobile, and get the power of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 laptop GPU added to the mix. It's got HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs for external monitors, USB-C, and three USB-A ports for peripherals to turn your Ally into a gaming desktop.

  • Affordable power bank
    Baseus 20,000mAh 65W power bank
    $45 $80 Save $35

    Power up your ROG Ally on the go with this 20,000mAh power bank that can supply the 65W your portable gaming console needs with at least one full charge. It has a handy LED readout to keep an eye on the battery capacity, and with two USB-A ports, you can keep peripherals charged up too.

  • Best gamer glow
    Razer USB-C 130W Charger

    Charge your ROG Ally and your laptop simultaneously with this stylish USB-C and USB-A charger with a total of 130W output. It comes in white or black, with Razer's signature acid green USB ports and includes U.K. and EU plug adapters. Cables are not included, which is slightly disappointing at this price point.

  • Best for portability
    Minix 66W USB-C charger

    Keep your portable games console charged during international travel with 66W of fast charging and U.K. and EU plug adapters. With two USB-C and one USB-A port, you'll be able to keep all your devices topped up while only taking up one wall socket. A cable is not included.

The best charger for the Asus ROG Ally depends on how many peripherals you carry

Do you want portability or versatility?

The Asus ROG Ally is a viable alternative to the Steam Deck, whether on the go or plugged into a docking station at home. It uses a 65W charger and USB-C to recharge, so this list is based on that as a bare minimum. The best charger to pick up is the Anker 735 GaNPrime 65W charger, which replaces the included charger while adding another two outputs. The ROG Ally running Windows 11 turns into a gaming desktop with a few accessories, especially if you opt for the ROG XG Mobile, which adds the power of an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 mobile graphics card, albeit at a price that's hard to swallow. The Satechi 6-port charger will keep any other USB-C accessories charged, and the Amazon Basics 65W is a great backup.

Other great chargers include portable power banks, ones small enough to slip into a pocket, and some gamer glow. You’ll also want to protect your investment, so check out our collection of the best cases for the ROG Ally.
