NB10000 Gen 2 Power Bank
Nitecore NB10000 Gen 2 Power Bank Review
Tested and reviewed for bikepacking use
The NB10000 Gen 2 uses a carbon fiber composite shell to achieve 10,000mAh in just 150g. The slim profile slides easily into a top tube bag, and dual USB-C ports allow simultaneous charging of two devices. The gold standard for ultralight power banks.
Who Is the Nitecore NB10000 Gen 2 Power Bank Best For?
Gram-counting bikepackers who want maximum capacity at minimum weight. If that describes your riding style, the NB10000 Gen 2 Power Bank should be at the top of your shortlist. It sits in the Electronics & Power category alongside 10other products we've reviewed.
How It Compares
At 150g and $50, the NB10000 Gen 2 Power Bank is 100g heavier than the lightest option in this category (the SP Connect Bike Bundle at 50g). The most budget-friendly option is the Anker Nano Power Bank 5000mAh at $20.
The price-to-weight ratio comes in at $33 per 100g — a premium price point, but you're paying for quality, materials, and design that justify the investment for serious bikepackers.
What We Like
- +Carbon fiber shell saves significant weight
- +Dual USB-C ports
- +Slim profile fits top tube bags perfectly

Watch Out For
- −Nearly double the price of basic alternatives
- −20W max output won't fast-charge all devices
- −Carbon shell can crack if dropped on rock
The Bottom Line
The Nitecore NB10000 Gen 2 Power Bank earns a 4.6/5 rating. It's one of the best options in the electronics & power category and a product we confidently recommend. The combination of carbon fiber shell saves significant weight and dual usb-c ports makes it stand out from the competition.
