Narrative:

I was the pilot flying (PF) and felt aileron control was degraded right after autopilot disengagement on final at 400 ft AGL. Performed a go around and transferred control to the first officer who had full control of the ailerons. Accomplished an uneventful landing. After landing; I discovered that the external battery pack that I was using to charge my ipad had become lodged between my sidestick controller and the nose wheel steering control handle; hindering full left aileron displacement. I suggest not putting the battery pack; nor anything else; in a position where this is possible.
