There\u2019s two things you should know about me, your intrepid reviewer: I hate the feature creep associated with modern power banks<\/a>, and I love shaving grams off the gear I carry when backpacking, bikepacking<\/a>, and trail running. So imagine my delight when Nitecore released a new generation of its ultralight NB10000 battery. After a few weeks with it I can confidently say: Haribo be damned<\/em><\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The $83.95 NB10000 Gen 4<\/a> weighs just 146 grams, according to my scale, and measures 1.45 x 11.6 x 4.68cm (0.57 x 4.57 x 1.84 inches), according to Nitecore\u2019s spec sheet. That makes it the lightest and most compact 10,000mAh power bank I can find. Even when factoring in the extra 6 grams added by the included USB-C lanyard, it still beats the previous ultralight champ<\/a>: Nitecore\u2019s NB10000 Gen 3. The secret to the Gen 4\u2019s impressive weight is a silicon-carbon anode<\/a>, the same battery tech increasingly appearing in flagship smartphones, including Samsung\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As small as it is, the Gen 4\u2019s 39Wh battery still fully recharged my aging iPhone 15 Pro twice, with a few watt-hours left in the tank. And with up to 22.5W of output, it can even top-up my 14-inch MacBook Pro when needed. It also supports pass-through to charge your gadgets as the power bank itself charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Have I found power bank perfection? Almost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
