Na, they need to get their english speaking propaganda to be a native speaker. And stop with the stupid jargon like saying “top up” instead of “charge”, too many “right”, “jam in” instead of capacity. It’s annoying af. I don’t spend my money on any of these types of companies, they are funding the PLA and china. All of the products coming from china are bad quality. The metallurgy and electrical connections and wires, leds are faulty and poor. Not to mention xi jin ping is a bitch.
Those are really cool batteries with dual polarity on one end. There is one slight problem though I notice. The battery capacity rating is at 3.6 Volts, so the 5000 mAh is actually not 5000 mAh when charging a phone. 3.6V*5000mAh/5V=3600mAh, so really it's only a 3600 mAh charge you can give to your phone, not the full 5000 mAh. Even if the rating is at 3.7V it's still only 3.7V*5000mAh/5V=3700 mAh. Just so everyone knows. This is the same math that applies to all powerbanks though, you need to make sure the RATED capacity was taken at the voltage you will be using it for.
A battery is always rated at its voltage and discharge. For comparison, the Goal Zero 5000 mAh Flip12 (which has a Samsung 18650 battery) is rated at 5000mAh, but at 5.14V only supplies 1,358 mAh on a 3.6v draw. Also for comparison, the Nitecore 10000 mAh battery bank provides 6267mAh at 5.14v. An impressive 4.6 times the GZ Flip12 rated at half the power. Additionally, the Flip 12 is around 72g and the NC 10,000 about 154g in weight. So for only twice the weight you get 4.6 times the power.
With having the +ve and - ve being so close to each other, you got to be careful about were and with what you leave them with as they can short out easily and cause a fire.
I was thinking the same thing. If you dropped one of those batteries in your pocket and forgot you had change or your car keys in that same pocket, those batteries with that level of energy density could heat up a key to red hot in just a couple of seconds, and boy wouldn't that be fun to try to get out of your pocket as you were dancing around with your pants on fire!
As is, this design seems super-dangerous. Keys, gum wrappers, a coin (or coin battery in a bag of old batteries) -- fire starters. Add microntrollers on each side for handshaking before power delivery to the same-side terminals, and you could have a safe product.
I like it, I want one, but I am thinking that carrying a loose/unenclosed battery with terminals at the same end is more dangerous than at opposite ends (and even opposit ends has risks). Is there any short circuit protection built in to the battery itself?
I tried my new kit over the weekend, set the lantern up on Saturday night about 18:00Hrs, left the light running until the battery died just after 04:00Hrs on Monday, it was on non stop, very impressive indeed !
yea if its so cutting edge and modern type c would have been the way to go for sure or at least offer a type c and micro usb i know they are probably trying cater to the majority of connectors atm but a lot of the enthusiasts who will be spending off the bat will probably like the usb c
Love your channel, can’t get enough. Your knowledge is amazing, I wish you had 20 minutes or more when describing the products. Thank you for your hard work. Greetings from Riverside in Southern California.
I like your description on all of the nitecore goods, awesome. I was an Imalent lover, and now with your videos I change my mind to nitecore for sure. Thk u very much for your videos. Greetings from Aruba in the caribbean.
I LIKE IT, no matter what people say everything made is dangerous in some way. Sleeping in Ur house is dangerous ,say a mouse chews a wire and it starts a fire and Ur sleep, I hate it when people just talk the bad give credit were its do.
I love the innovation you guys are doing here. This is perfect for ultralight backpacking. I would love to see a usb c version with 2 usb c ports. One input/output and one output only (or 2 i/o). It would also be really cool to see a flashlight that works with these under 45 or even 30 grams. Then I could have a whole ultralight system that works as a power bank and as a super bright light as well.
If a couple ounces of weight are that bothersome, you should stay home and try to regain your health because 2 oz is nothing, varies more by how much liquid you drank that day. On the contrary, if you want lighter weight then you don't want the added housing and component volume to include the USB ports. You have no need for a power bank. Backpacking does not require burning up your phone battery, quite the opposite it is the least drain on phone battery that sane people would ever encounter. Now back to sanity, you are talking about 15 grams? Just stay home as you are not fit to be up and walking around, let alone backpacking if 15 grams, is a problem. Man up already. Yes I know that it all adds up weight wise, so let's say you have ONE HUNDRED freakin' things that add 15 grams. You can do the math, that's only 1.5Kg, a trivial total weight difference. IN fact, as ironic as it seems, if you were to haul that little extra weight, you would burn more fat and weigh less yourself so your total weight is no higher and possibly lower. It is laughable that you value a flashlight so little that you think it needs to be under 45 grams. Please just stay seated on your couch where gravity is not such a burden to you.
@@commentsonthetube14 Apparently math isn't your strong suit. Quote "t would also be really cool to see a flashlight that works with these under 45 or even 30 grams." 45-30 =15, you are making a stink about less weight than you save from a HAIR CUT and would end up with flimsy crap that breaks due to the minimal material. Please just don't pretend you are so special that you think you know that 45 grams matters in any way in your life, except possibly the weight of glasses or a hearing aid, earbuds, etc strapped to your head.
@@stinkycheese804 Alright, deleting the snarky replies. I gotta know why you're so mad though. Some people are just in to ultralight backpacking. Doesn't mean I can't and don't go on 100 lb trips sometimes with all the bells and whistles. Just that it's a fun challenge lowering weight as much as possible and crushing miles. Why does that make you so angry?
@@commentsonthetube14 I'm not mad or angry at all, you seem to have some weird life view when it comes to negative feedback and how short sighted it is to focus on a fraction of an ounce over ruggedness and reliability. If you got up and went out hiking right now instead of being youtube, you'd have lost more than that in burning calories, lol.
As long as it's not usb-c i won't buy it. Don't want to carry multiple cables with me. Don't understand why manufacturers keep implementing micro USB in 2020..
Both are crap solutions. I don't want a USB port that allows water damage, nor to wait for USB charging. Better to omit the charging, keep the light smaller, and just use the savings to buy another battery that you have charged already and can swap in and keep using the light instead of the silly idea that USB charging is so important that you will sit in the dark waiting for it to charge. That's crazy and ineffective.
@@stinkycheese804 The reason why you want a USB port on the battery is that you do not need a charger so if you are in the woods lost or something like that with your battery and maybe a portable solar panel then you can charge directly from the solar panels or another powerbank
Hi! Please help me.. I purchased four HPi batteries without lantern and now I don't know how to store these batteries! I purchased the 21700 white case from my local supplier but it doesn't fit! These nitecore batteries are too fat. How to store them in my bag? I am going into a mountain a week from now. Thank you in advance!
Are you nitecore? Awesome! I love your TH-cam channel!! I just got a D4 charger and I’m hearing I got the best thing on the market. Someone gave me an M30 Triton Olight, (I guess, tactical flashlight) and I’d never seen the 18650 batt before. I’m in Alaska and I took those dead batt’s to Batteries +, Walmart, Target, and a few tactical gear places and NO ONE KNEW what they were! Then I showed my friend that smokes a ton of weed and he said they were Vape batt’s. So I went to weed store and sure enough, they had the batt’s & one last Nitecore chrgr. Anyway, that’s not even the reason I’m writing to you.
MJ, any issues with the charger portion disconnecting or coming apart from the battery due to jarring during walking when it’s placed in a pouch or pocket?
Bring back an updated SRT5... it was my one and only EDC lamp (for non ATEX areas) it killed 3 by now and can not find them new or used anymore... they where the best for my job
Correct me if I'm wrong. You wouldn't run that lantern for 19h and drain the battery enirely, so comparing it to 12 AAs is not very fair since you would totally drain the AAs without repercussions. So I'd put it at about 8 AAs. Plus, my 10,000mAh power bank has multiple inputs, outputs, can take a few drops, easy and cheap to replace. When I go camping, the pouch also includes a $1 USB mini light, $1 USB mini fan, $1 USB torch, $1 USB splitter. So technically, I can run my lights and fan off the splitter and still charge my phone. I could also do this with 2 of these batteries, but the cost is insane for a bit of weight and space savings. This product is for people who like cool stuff, and actual hardcore thru hikers.
hi~ can you recommend to me some lights with following conditions? I use it for backpacking and wild-camping 1. head-light type : angle / swivel light or just head-lantern (hand-free mode) 2. battery: 14500 or 1xAA, 1xNiMH (light weight & easy to get) 3. water-proof : IP68 above 4. weight : light weight (near 50 grams) 5. use : both available hand-free and hand-held and durable too Thank you !!
Putting (+) and (-) terminals on top of li-ion cell is asking for troubles except there is protection device mounted it cell. Nonetheless even protection is installed the short circuit my occur and make some mess.
Are those batteries protected or unprotected? Seeing uncovered cathode and anode so close to eath other gives me thrills. That would also mean you can't use them in flashlights taht take more than 1 battery.
@@NitecoreSG I mean can it be used as a battery bank in trickle charge mode for recharging devices that don't draw a lot of power and normal battery banks just turn off.
I have one and its cool but my only complain is you cant use the light and charger at the same time, if they could make it use both side of the battery it would be more useful
In what situation would you use the light and the charger at the same time? And if it could wouldn’t you complain that all together it would be too long? If anything I would complain that the light does not have an off switch so you constantly have to carry it separately in the case or in each pocket so the light does not come together in your pocket magnetically. Or even worse the battery being in danger of being damaged (battery casing) because it is exposed.
The numbers of the battery is uts size thats why 18650 is called that the diameter and length of the battery but I belive you drop the last 0 for those its.juat added for whatever reason they add it to all of them. Like.i have some.20650 from a battery pack that the port got.brokem it's slightly bigger aroumd.but same.lentgh as 18650. Hope that helps out.
This battery design is really a great upgrade to the standard battery as well as the charger for use on one end. But...the price is WAY too high! Once the prices drop into the 18650 battery price range (even at +10% premium), then you will have a real winner. Best wishes and I hope you have a lot of success, but until the prices are more reasonable, I will have to sit and watch.
Not at all, it's a design with more problems than solutions. Plus, did you not recognize that ALL 18650 and 21700 batteries have the negative also through the cell tube up to the top? You could very easily do this to any cylindrical cell, but it is not done because it's a bad idea.
@@stinkycheese804 Honestly...I was trying to give a positive comment before my negative comment. It's a technique for getting people to listen to what I am saying. :)
@@DavidAlanReece it's a 21700 battery, noting special. All big flashlight manufacturers have pretty much identical batteries Olight, Fenix and the others but those with proprietary chargers or batteries are real assholes
Is it not dangerous to carry a naked battery as a flashlight? I mean if you drop this on a rock you could rip the battery casing or worse. Great concept but it’s still impractical seeing as you also have to carry the light (top) and battery part separate (one in each pocket) or carry in the case. Maybe as a house flashlight?
Hey man, Your videos sure are explanatory and awesome. These lantern toppers are kick ass. Now, im an Olight and Fenix user, Can your lantern tops and charger tops be used with other company 5000 mah 21700's? Nitecore makes some nice products. You sure know your stuff and do your homework on each product. Keep the awesome videos coming. Many years ago i bought a Nitecore headlamp And will definitely have to check out their products again. Whats on your shelves in the background in your videos as the camera never focuses behind you? Im also one of them high lumen light buyers like you explained in a headlamp video and hate when turbos only run for a short time, But i do understand when you explained everything. But, I have the Fenix 18,000 lumen LR80R and i think it lasts a couple hours on turbo. I also have their newest 21,000 lumen light But like the bigger face 18,000 lumen one better.
I'll be good if charging unit can do fast charging. And P20i can submerge similar depth as DL10 then it would be complete package. No need to buy another power bank. Period!
@@NitecoreSG thanks for replying. I actually bought one and sad to say I was disappointed as I received a battery that has so many dents and the button top isn't even aligned...
@@NitecoreSG yep, it was working. Though it doesn't charge devices at 2A as advertised so NO FAST charging there... It was refunded but I really was looking forward to this light Too bad it got QC issues unlike the rest of the products from Nitecore
i bought that lantern last week. i put in on for 10 seconds just to check it out. 1 the magnetic connection isn't as strong as i like meaning i think if it was laying sideways with the plastic part on a higher plane it has chance of just coming apart. and 2 the next day i wanted to try light again and it didnt turn on anymore. tried 2 different newely recharged batteries and nope. was kept in case between charges so there was no accidental impacts. very dissappointed. he makes the company seem like such the top notch light only company and i got sucked right in.the magnetic charger also has a very weak magnetic contact i had to place it carefully on my pile of desktop junk so there was no pressure at all against the top cap or it would pop off easy.
Looks cool, but seems dangerous to have pos and neg on the same side. There are already people putting 18650 batteries in their pockets with metal objects and shorting them.
@@Vinnay94 I keep mine in a container. There are many people who do not understand the energy stored in these batteries and they hurt themselves which gives more fuel to anti-vaping campaigns.
This is great! This means you could get less resistance in Flashlights. Normally the Negative runs through the body of the flashlight which is usually made of Aluminium which is not the best conductor, but this new Battery will make running old and new flashlights more efficiently.
Another person gave me a tactical pen for the same reason of that flashlight; can’t find batteries (it has a tiny light on the end) it’s a Rough Rider 1863 Tactical LED Black Writing Pen with Aluminum Construction Model - RR1863. And I’ve exhausted my resources here to find a batt for it. I wondered if there was a rechrgbl and if my nitecore would work.
When he said TAK, TAK, TAK . . I had a 'Nam flashback which made me realize I need to vacuum underneath my desk. Why didn't they make a flashlight top too? The lantern is cool but I want a magnetic flashlight top with a rotary dial for brightness please.
Ever thought that people like myself use rechargeable AA batteries? 😆 Lithium lasts longer than 19 hours on medium and double polarity battery is used on Olight torches with the magnetic charger
LMAO, it's mentioned in the video and written on the side of the battery. 0:37 5000mah, there's another that's 4000mah, you can even see that in the thumbnail.
This guy is an amazing businessman; great explanation , great marketing , great product. Thank you.
And you got a bonus

Na, they need to get their english speaking propaganda to be a native speaker. And stop with the stupid jargon like saying “top up” instead of “charge”, too many “right”, “jam in” instead of capacity. It’s annoying af.

I just received another nitecore battery today in the mail. I use it as a phone charger at work. It works easily and great.

It's not really safe if it is not used in some kind of casing, dropping it somewhere could cut through the layers of shrinkwrap shorting it out.
I was thinking the same thing. If you dropped one of those batteries in your pocket and forgot you had change or your car keys in that same pocket, those batteries with that level of energy density could heat up a key to red hot in just a couple of seconds, and boy wouldn't that be fun to try to get out of your pocket as you were dancing around with your pants on fire!
its a mini dinamyte.
With that size, it isn't the safest thing, yeah. Though normal alkaline batteries have the same problem, just wrapped in plastic.
As is, this design seems super-dangerous. Keys, gum wrappers, a coin (or coin battery in a bag of old batteries) -- fire starters. Add microntrollers on each side for handshaking before power delivery to the same-side terminals, and you could have a safe product.
I like it, I want one, but I am thinking that carrying a loose/unenclosed battery with terminals at the same end is more dangerous than at opposite ends (and even opposit ends has risks). Is there any short circuit protection built in to the battery itself?

Do you have a way to connect them in series?
How much would shipping be to the UK
Hi. Is there any upgrade model for P18? Tnx
But does it Vape good?
Can you please tell me the weight of the entire set including the case? Thank you
Had the same question and found the answer: 124 grams
Could you tell me the size in inches? It looks a little bigger than a 18650.
The numbers of the battery is uts size thats why 18650 is called that the diameter and length of the battery but I belive you drop the last 0 for those its.juat added for whatever reason they add it to all of them. Like.i have some.20650 from a battery pack that the port got.brokem it's slightly bigger aroumd.but same.lentgh as 18650. Hope that helps out.
a usb C in&Out attachment for a 21700 and I'm sold
This battery design is really a great upgrade to the standard battery as well as the charger for use on one end. But...the price is WAY too high! Once the prices drop into the 18650 battery price range (even at +10% premium), then you will have a real winner. Best wishes and I hope you have a lot of success, but until the prices are more reasonable, I will have to sit and watch.
Not at all, it's a design with more problems than solutions. Plus, did you not recognize that ALL 18650 and 21700 batteries have the negative also through the cell tube up to the top? You could very easily do this to any cylindrical cell, but it is not done because it's a bad idea.
@@stinkycheese804 Honestly...I was trying to give a positive comment before my negative comment. It's a technique for getting people to listen to what I am saying. :)
@@DavidAlanReece it's a 21700 battery, noting special. All big flashlight manufacturers have pretty much identical batteries Olight, Fenix and the others but those with proprietary chargers or batteries are real assholes
Is it not dangerous to carry a naked battery as a flashlight? I mean if you drop this on a rock you could rip the battery casing or worse. Great concept but it’s still impractical seeing as you also have to carry the light (top) and battery part separate (one in each pocket) or carry in the case. Maybe as a house flashlight?
Yes it’s only mean for indoor use, camping, while you organize some gear. Not as a main handheld light
Nice pocketrocket when u have those in ur backpack. 😂
Hey man, Your videos sure are explanatory and awesome. These lantern toppers are kick ass. Now, im an Olight and Fenix user, Can your lantern tops and charger tops be used with other company 5000 mah 21700's? Nitecore makes some nice products. You sure know your stuff and do your homework on each product. Keep the awesome videos coming. Many years ago i bought a Nitecore headlamp And will definitely have to check out their products again. Whats on your shelves in the background in your videos as the camera never focuses behind you? Im also one of them high lumen light buyers like you explained in a headlamp video and hate when turbos only run for a short time, But i do understand when you explained everything. But, I have the Fenix 18,000 lumen LR80R and i think it lasts a couple hours on turbo. I also have their newest 21,000 lumen light But like the bigger face 18,000 lumen one better.
Where are they made?
Just got mine today. ❤️ it 🙏🏽
where did you get it please
I'll be good if charging unit can do fast charging. And P20i can submerge similar depth as DL10 then it would be complete package. No need to buy another power bank. Period!
Can you use the lantern and charge the kit itself at the same time?
Work with olight?
No. Olight is its own proprietary thing
Can you use that battery in vape?
Is the battery wrapped in plastic when purchased brand new?
If bought seperate it comes in a crystal pack. If bought in the lantern kit there’s no plastic wrap. It sits unpacked in the box.
@@NitecoreSG thanks for replying. I actually bought one and sad to say I was disappointed as I received a battery that has so many dents and the button top isn't even aligned...
@@jasonl6486 was it working though? You can get it replace if it’s not working in anyway
@@NitecoreSG yep, it was working. Though it doesn't charge devices at 2A as advertised so NO FAST charging there... It was refunded but I really was looking forward to this light Too bad it got QC issues unlike the rest of the products from Nitecore
@@jasonl6486 lol.
We need type C 😢
Is shipping available in India?
19 hours refers to what the timing is .. is it like turning on the lights from 8 pm-19pm tomorrow .. only the walking time stops ..
Fast charging?
I just wished it would use usb c to charge... then it would be perfect!
i bought that lantern last week. i put in on for 10 seconds just to check it out. 1 the magnetic connection isn't as strong as i like meaning i think if it was laying sideways with the plastic part on a higher plane it has chance of just coming apart. and 2 the next day i wanted to try light again and it didnt turn on anymore. tried 2 different newely recharged batteries and nope. was kept in case between charges so there was no accidental impacts. very dissappointed. he makes the company seem like such the top notch light only company and i got sucked right in.the magnetic charger also has a very weak magnetic contact i had to place it carefully on my pile of desktop junk so there was no pressure at all against the top cap or it would pop off easy.
That’s exactly what it was made for, a quick way to charge or as a side table lamp, not as a rugged flashlight. The magnet is not that strong.
Looks cool, but seems dangerous to have pos and neg on the same side. There are already people putting 18650 batteries in their pockets with metal objects and shorting them.
Don't put Li-ion Cells in pockets then lol. I don't care if you need to Vape every second, store the fuckers in a container.
@@Vinnay94 I keep mine in a container. There are many people who do not understand the energy stored in these batteries and they hurt themselves which gives more fuel to anti-vaping campaigns.
What's the average internal resistance of that battery?
how to order
This is great! This means you could get less resistance in Flashlights. Normally the Negative runs through the body of the flashlight which is usually made of Aluminium which is not the best conductor, but this new Battery will make running old and new flashlights more efficiently.
You can use rechargeable 2800mah AA batteries for that. But efficiency with lithium is better
Why is such a great product like F21i not continued or replaced with an improved one?
That's very sad!!!
Another person gave me a tactical pen for the same reason of that flashlight; can’t find batteries (it has a tiny light on the end) it’s a Rough Rider 1863 Tactical LED Black Writing Pen with Aluminum Construction
Model - RR1863. And I’ve exhausted my resources here to find a batt for it. I wondered if there was a rechrgbl and if my nitecore would work.
Which battery does this replace ?
21700 Li-ion I guess
Im hooked on this
Brilliant light , so i bought 2 👍🏻👍🏻
0:41 -Write the name of this flashlight.-
Do not pay attention - I have already found it, it is very expensive.
you may have been looking at the prices in singapore dollars.
@@renchrisv Nope
$79 is way overpriced
@@fozzygt8737 maybe try looking at the US store? $34.95
@@fozzygt8737 In my country, we have a salary of $ 200. In America, with a salary of $ 5,000, it can be $ 79 that's cheap.
So could this work in my olight maybe? 🤔
Excellent battery innovation but that "lantern" comes up way short on light output compared to the flashlight output.
Yeah, it's a tiny lantern intended for general area lighting, like in a tent.
olight still has the smallest charger.
this combination though looks like a winner.
all this needs is a waterproof carrying case.
Having the dual polarity looks dangerous but I’m sure there’s a protection circuit in there to prevent short circuits.
What's the name of that voltage reader? Nice add-on to the set.
Here it is - www.nitecorelights.com/products/usb-voltage-tester
When he said TAK, TAK, TAK . . I had a 'Nam flashback which made me realize I need to vacuum underneath my desk. Why didn't they make a flashlight top too? The lantern is cool but I want a magnetic flashlight top with a rotary dial for brightness please.
why not using USB-C ?
lol.
Ever thought that people like myself use rechargeable AA batteries? 😆 Lithium lasts longer than 19 hours on medium and double polarity battery is used on Olight torches with the magnetic charger
These batteries are Fire hazzard incoming
Any large battery is but this one might be worse than others of the same size
These double polarity 21700 batteries are hard to find.
Great video, does that work with 5000mAh 21700 Olight batteries?
It does not
Well, it is a copy of olight, so would be interesting to see?
@@paulwhat322 copy of olight ? no its not
Very cool new gadget from Nitecore..
nice video bro!👍👍👍 ..can i order that here in the Philippines? whats the procedure?
We ship worldwide via DHL. Just order at the link in the description
What is the mah of that battery? Interesting concept!
LMAO, it's mentioned in the video and written on the side of the battery. 0:37 5000mah, there's another that's 4000mah, you can even see that in the thumbnail.
