Second, the Joy-Con Charging Grip (at least mine) should come with a USB to USB C cable. That cable can actually be used with a power bank to charge your Switch!
Thirdly, you don't need to plug the cable into the Nintendo Switch Dock to charge it. If it is a somewhat high powered USB port, it will more than likely charge the Joy-Cons connected to the Charging Grip. In other words, yes a power bank can also be used to charge the Joy-Cons connected to the Charging Grip.
If you're running out of USB ports to charge all the Nintendo Switch accessories which may or may not include the Switch itself, I recommend a "100 PERCENT Hybrid Charging Tower". Its a charging tower that has two AC outlets, 4 USB outlets, and a detachable 3000 MaH power bank. That right there is pretty much perfect for any Switch set up. Here's the direct Amazon link to it:
https://www.amazon.com/100-PERCENT-Charging-Smartphones-Worry-Free/dp/B01MCRUC2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1550125283&sr=8-1&keywords=100+percent+hybrid
Before you ask, yes, you can use the power bank from that product to charge your Switch. So long as the cable is the one from a Joy-Con Charging Grip set.
Oh right, one more thing, you can charge the Joy-Cons with the Charging Grip overnight if you have to. It won't "overcharge" it so to speak. So charge away if you need to! That's what they're for!
I lied, one more thing, the cable that comes with the Charging Grip can also be founded bundled with a Pro Controller. Please note that this cable from Nintendo CANNOT be bought by itself! If you want one, you either have to get a Pro Controller, or buy one of these Charging Grips here.
Well, that was a longer review than I expected to make for what is (or at least should be) a straightforward device! But seriously though, people don't talk about the cable being able to charge the Switch itself enough! That's something very important that every Switch owner should know!

Got it at a discounted rate, so it’s worth it.

[+] Very convenient
[+] Useful
[+] Stands on its own, as other official Joycon grips
[+] Can play while charging
Very useful and practical, don't understand why the one that comes with the Nintendo Switch console isn't the charging grip version.
Allows you to play and charge at the same time so you never run out of battery. Like other official Nintendo Joycon Grips, this grip stands on its own vertically, very neat to properly store your joycons.
The charging grip is different in design from the regular grip - the regular grip is all matte black, the charging grip has semi transparent elements on its handles.
