- Nitecore NB10000 Gen2 power brick review.
I had already used the Gen1 so was happy to have a test of the gen 2 from Nitecore. I found it to be the same slim and light 150 gram beauty that the gen1 was. Dual output and fast charging I have to give it a 9 out of 10. I wish it was cheaper and I would personally like 4 led for the capacity instead of 3 but that's the only thing I can complain about.

Might be handy to get a usb power meter, that way on future power bank videos, you can drain and charge it, and get real world capacity. Love your stuff keep it up!
Thanks mate sorry just replying to about 80 messages here i finally got to last 3. You are right I would like to work out what the real world capacity is to get the efficiency level. I'm hoping its 90 plus percentage at least. Il see what i can get a hold of.
Thank you for your patience in explaining everything!
You are so welcome! I like to be helpful and give info so you can decide if something is worth buying or not. If you have any questions just let me know :-)
Excellent vid as always.
Be easy to resolve the 4 button level indicator by making the white one duel purpose. Otherwise looks like the perfect power bank. 👍👍
Yeah a nice update on the gen 1 which I loved.
Go back to 45 min vids.
I use your vids to get me to sleep at night but this one isn't long enough......
Great vid and the gen 2 seems a good product.
I agree with you that 4 LED's would be more logical and easier to use.
Keep up the great work.
Ha ha oops! I just wanted it straight to the point this time. I'm sure I'll break the 1 hour barrier again soon whilst reviewing a teaspoon or something 😃😤
@@TrailTrek Yes please do haha :)
Everyone seems to be very impressed by the weight and shape, but is only 20g lighter than the old Anker PowerCore 10000. And I prefer the size and shape of that one instead of this Nitecore. It was more compact and looked more resistent. Besides that, it was very cheap compared to this one. Too bad Anker has quit making powerbanks in that format.
I have an Anker that's years old and it's still perfect it was one of my most hard wearing power banks. Any idea why they stopped making in that format?
@@TrailTrek I have no ideea, but it wasn't a smart move, if you ask me. Who knows, maybe they have a serious reason, but all I know is that I hate the new shapes. Yes, they are slim, but other than, they weight more and are too long. I wish they bring the old compact format, that was almost the lenght and widht of a credit card.
Mine has 5 years and works great. The only reason that makes me searching for a new powerbank, is the ability of low power mode (for smartwatch, phones, etc.)
@TrailTrek It seems that the main reason they stopped making them in that format has to do with the chemistry of the rechargeble cell inside de powerbank. The old Anker were made using li-ion batteries, which come in cylindrical shape, while the new ones are made with li-po batteries, that has a different format. Li-po are safer (less risk of explosion), have a slightly higher density power, but are harder to manufacture (so they are more expensive) and they have a shorter lifespan. Advantages and disadvantages on both sides, if you read more on the subject.
Unless they want to release one that isn't very good so all the people that bought it have to go and buy the new ones when they fix it. 🤣👍
True. A lot of the time they are taking a few 18650 cells and sticking them in a box. I think lipo might allow more charge discharge cycles but I could be wrong I'm out and about here. But I have old Anker power packs with lithium ion that still charge and work beautifuly.
I like the low power charging mode, my Apple Watch tends to struggle a bit with the xtar Pb2s.
Nice extra feature but I still don't get why they used up an LED for that feature I would love to have all 4 used for the power level.
A very nice review. I like what I have seen on reviews, but I am a little put off by the price...I see what happens over the next few weeks.
Yes the price is much higher than the equivalents I see. You could always try to pick up the gen 1 which isn't that different but is cheaper. My gen 1 is still in my backpack and working fine for me. I have both in there and just grab whichever is closer and I don't notice a difference in day to day tasks. Id wait for a sale then it's well worth it. If you find any good deals feel free to share the links here to help others. 😁👍
Excellent..
Does anyone know how it handles being charged on a solar panel like a 21w one that charges at 5v 2.4amps? Does it trickle charge since the Nitecore fast charges at high Volts and lower amps...because if that's the case it won't charge that well if the protocol isn't auto recognized. I use older power banks because many power banks need to be charged on a quick charge wall plug.
Not sure on this one I would have thought the type-c can still trickle though but I don't have any older outputs to check that sorry.
They got a new one that is full carbon fiber, the carbo 10000
Nice thanks for the heads up. This one ive only had in pockets and side of my 5.11 rush24 bag and looks brand new but I love a bit of proper carbon fiber.
🎉
Has the gen 1 lost capacity or degraded over time?
Although I didn't test when I got it to compare id say it's about the same. I still have it in the side zipper part of my backpack and it charges my phone, DJI stuff, earbuds. I can't say I've used it and thought "this is starting to lose it's capacity". I'm very happy with the gen 1.
@@TrailTrek thanks for the feedback. I will invest in a gen 2. Keep up the great work.
Good to hear mate if you spot it for a decent price post the link to help others. I will say this Nitecore power pack costs more than the strange brands on Amazon but it's way slimer and doesn't feel cheap in my hands. Although I do have an old Anker one and that still feels really solid but that's 7 years old so it's definitely not holding charge like it used to.
