The setting for small devices that take a low power charge is not a trickle or low voltage sensor. It merely is a permanent on switch so the power bank does not keep going into auto-shutoff mode when it’s sensors can’t detect the low power draw. After using it, you must remember to turn off the power bank manually
I watched another TH-cam carbo reviewer who stated that the carbo couldn’t charge iPads. I have both carbo models, and they charge my iPads just fine. I haven’t seen a single reviewer yet that tested a carbo with an iPad. In this day and age, this is definitely something that consumers should let in on.
Thanks for the insight! I don't know why it wouldn't charge an iPad, but I haven't personally tested for that so I can't say for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@BackwoodsPursuit ah ok. Thank you for replying. I want to purchase one via your referral code but I need to make sure it will provide enough juice. Cheers
18 watt input makes it an absolute no go for me. I charge at way too many public locations on quick stops to wait on these. I can't believe they went back to 18 watt on this version.
Hey there! For me, just depends on if I need a 20000 mAh power bank. For longer backpacking trips, I'd take the Carbo 20000, but a weekend trip, the NB10000 is just fine, and saves 5oz as well. Thanks for watching!
@@BackwoodsPursuit I have the NB1000 Gen II and am within my return window for Amazon. Heavily considering getting the Carbo 20000 since I use my iPhone quite heavily when I get to camp. I like to watch movies. I carry a headlamp, InReach Mini, and my iPhone. Do you think the 20000mAh is better suited for my needs or can I get enough charge with one 10000?
@joker2100 sounds to me like the Carbo 20000 would be a better fit for your needs. The only reason not to is if the extra 5oz was an issue for you. Thanks!
@@BackwoodsPursuit That’s the thing, it is a consideration. With two NB10000’s you can modulate your power needs based on the activity. Plus it has the advantage of redundancy. Interesting gear theory.
@@BackwoodsPursuit greatly appreciate the reply. Yes I’d like to charge multiple at a time. Was looking at the anker. I’m someone who would like to cry once but once, and I enjoy a good quality. Which would you consider better quality the anker or the biolite?
@hammahdepartment5667 hey there! I've not personally tested the Anker units, but I've heard they are great from several reliable sources. I believe the Anker units are a bit lighter and smaller, so if that matters, I'd go that way. Otherwise the Biolite units are very nice. Thanks!

Great content.

I am here for that as I can’t see why an carbo 20K wouldn’t. I charge my iPads on a GaaN 20W charger at home.
@@BackwoodsPursuitcan you try and report back please?
@youwebz hey! Unfortunately, I don't own an iPad, so I am unable to test that that. Sorry!

Would you rather have two NB10000 Gen II's or one Carbo 20000? That is the question of the century.

@@joker2100 this is true! You could always pick up a 2nd NB10k and only take it when needed.
What’s my options for someone who wants to be able to charge a couple devices at once?
Hey there! If you need more charge ports than this one offers, Biolite makes some good ones, as does Anker. Thanks for watching!

how long does it take to charge to full?
Hey there! If memory serves me correctly, it took a couple hours to recharge the Carbo 20000. Thanks for watching!
You said the thing charges via usb A……how does that work, pretty sure it charges via usb C…… ONLY I have yet to see a bidirectional usb A plug…
Hey there!! Thank you for pointing that out. I must have mis-spoke as yes, it charges via the USB-C. Thanks for watching!
TEST!!!???
