Hello there nitecore team... Just wanted to know about nitecore nb10000 gen 2 its got 4 lights for battery capacity but my one only lights up to 3 when fully charged ... Is it a reason why ?
@@christianb8228 i eventually found out about it. Its 3 lights for battery capacity, and the white one is when you long press the power button it puts the power bank in low power mode(and the white light comes on) that outputs less amps for more sensitive devices like watches fitbit etc...
No they arent. Mine are literally plastic and are sunken into the chassi somewhat. They do help to identify them easier tho, but they do not protect. Not on my model atleast.
Great review filled with self deprecating humor and clear information as always. Unfortunately for me I just received the older model for Father’s Day. My only complaint was the difficult to see button. It is still a great power bank and it lives in my EDC get home bag.
I bought this power bank and was very disappointed. It is a very nice and small device. But three things no one mentions. 1. When I use 20w charging for a phone or tablet, the power bank gets extremely hot. I estimate the temperature to be over 55°C. 2. Because the power bank heats up like this, its efficiency will not be good, but I did not measure the efficiency. 3. When the last LED started to light up, the voltage of the powerbank started to drop from 12.03v to approx. 11v and then shut off even though it wasn't fully discharged.
You say low current mode only works with the usb-A output. But neither the manual for the NB10000 or NB20000 says anything about low current mode only works with the usb-A output? And I can't find any info on the web, that confirms what you're informing about low current mode in the video. Where do you have your info regarding low current mode from?
I'm curious abuot this too. When I put the NB1000 in low current mode and plug my phone into the usb-c port, it start charging, just like in the usb-A port. What I was aktually intersted in, was the Voltage and the max amps it can diliver in low current mode. I would like to charde my phone with 12V and 1A or less, to increase efficiency.
@nitecorestore Great review BUT you never stated how to tell when it was fully charged. Does the third charging light stop flashing? Don't want to over charge it.
The three blue indicators will go from a blinking to a constant on when it is fully charged. (I was specifically told not to give charging times because people have different USB wall boxes, QC capable, some not, different quality USB cables, and don't always use the ones that come with it, and etc and then they might complain if the times do not really align, but truthfully it should be between 1-2 hours depending on different factors mentioned above.
Yes and no, the max output of the NB series is fixed. So whenever I charge two phones using both outputs you lose the quick charge, but when I charge a phone, and a smaller low amp device, the phone still quick charges.
I really appreciate your video!! Have you tested the pass through capability at low or dead battery level? I've seen claims that the Nitecore NB gen 2 10k and 20k batteries can simultaneously charge their own battery and output a current to charge other devices at the same time. My own test, starting with a dead battery to do pass through charging basically failed. The current was so low that my phone estimated over 11 hrs to fully charge and it eventually shut off because the battery it was using was greater than the amount of the charge. I got the same results with both the 10k and 20k batteries. For reference, I'm using an Anker 65W charger with simultaneous output of 40W for the 20k battery and 20W for the 10k battery. All cables are rated 60W (well above the current used). I'm curious to see if: 1. There's a battery charge threshold that must be met before they can effectively charge anything else. 2. If my Anker charger is defective by comparing it to your own results.
Yes I did some research, and fortunately regardless of the voltage coming out of the wall, if the "box" is a USB box, because USB -> universal, it should be pretty standard, i.e. 5v/3a, 9v/2.22a, 12v/1.67a or 12v/1.5a
@@NitecoreStore Hehe, good point. I didn't consider that the USB is standard. I feel stupid now. Anyway, thanks for the reply. I'll order one of these today.
Not excited about this thing. Ran my phone down to 50%. Recharged twice. Currently blinking on my third charge from 50%. So I might be getting 1 1/2 at best.
@@NitecoreStore was the gen 1 had the pass through feature? I have both gen model 😇. I even sold my 20 000 for the 10 000 way easier to carry. Also is there a chart for the indicator light?
This is still a poor design, you can't see well how many leds are ON, also 3 leds are too few, you need at least 4. Better just add a display to see the exact percentage, it consumes less than a led. Did not try yet but i feel there's a minimum current for charging it and it will not work to charge from small solar panels.
Lies! That cable is not long enough to go Sea to Sea...... Wait.... What do you mean 'the letter cee?'?? So its Sea to C? That doesn't make any sense.... C to Sea? Thats not any better.... OOOOOOOO C to C.... Not sea to sea..... That makes more sense...... Carry On!
Do not buy this product unless you want to be stranded without power. The clicky button was pressed while in my pack and this put the power bank into a hibernation mode. The only way to exit hibernation is to plug it into a power source. Well, there’s no power sources in the middle of the woods. Worst feature ever for a power bank and Nitecore stands behind this stupid feature.
NITECORE = Poor Customer Service. My NB10000 failed, granted after the warranty period, but without any heavy use. The USB-A port just fell out. Customer Service will only repair at my cost, all in will almost be price of a new unit. Poor showing. Better products for your hard earned money.

Got mine some days ago. I love it.
how long does it take to recharge the powerbank fully?
'bout tree fiddy
let me know when the NB20,000 v2 is out.
Until then just glue or tape 2 of these together 😎
I have a Garmin Forerunner watch, should I use low power charging for that? Thanks!
@nitecorestore Great review BUT you never stated how to tell when it was fully charged. Does the third charging light stop flashing? Don't want to over charge it.
Any chance you guys are going to make a line of usb c chargers in carbon? I'm still looking for something lighter to best my anker nano 3.
@NitecoreStore How much max current does the low current mode deliver and at what Voltage can it do so?
Great video thanks!!!! lol "big dumb fart" love the humor, I had to rewind twice to see if that was what you actually said
hi, issit safe to charge my nb10000 with 120watt wall charger?
I'm definitely Buying one of these cause its got A Clicky Button. 😉
I was my understanding that it was bad for the battery to charge it and also use it to charge (or pass through).
Good brand = good product's.🦆🇪🇦
Helpful and good video.
Glad it was helpful!
You forgot to cover an important topic. How long does it take to charge it to a full charge? And, how can you tell if it’s fully charged or not?
The three blue indicators will go from a blinking to a constant on when it is fully charged.

@@NitecoreStore Does it recharge faster than gen 1 using a higher wattage wall adapter?
Can this be trickle charged by a small low output solar panel? 5v 1a, 5w max panel.
Yes
Nice video, thanks! Do you lose quick-charge capabilities or not if using both outputs for charging?
Yes and no, the max output of the NB series is fixed. So whenever I charge two phones using both outputs you lose the quick charge, but when I charge a phone, and a smaller low amp device, the phone still quick charges.

Wha if I can get Gen1 for 53€ (gen2 is 67€) should I get gen1 version or spend extra for 2nd version?
OK, but will it work in Europe with 220-230V outlets and standard phone charging adapter that comes for these outlets?
Yes I did some research, and fortunately regardless of the voltage coming out of the wall, if the "box" is a USB box, because USB -> universal, it should be pretty standard, i.e. 5v/3a, 9v/2.22a, 12v/1.67a or 12v/1.5a

Could really a new one mine's pretty old and beat up and only one part works but I don't have no money
Where NB5000 V2 ???
Gen 3 this year?
From Turkiye how can i order?
Can you charge the nitecore from it's usb-c port to a wall charger that has usb-c port?
Yes if you use a C to C cable.
@@NitecoreStore thanks
in my nitecore, only 3 battery level buttons light up no matter how much i charge...is this a bug or how its meant to be?
Not excited about this thing. Ran my phone down to 50%. Recharged twice. Currently blinking on my third charge from 50%. So I might be getting 1 1/2 at best.

why can't they try to increase the battery.
Have you tried our NB20000?
@@NitecoreStore But that would increase the weight . I meant why they put more battery in the same weight.
