Nitecore NB10000 Gen4 updates the brand's ultralight portable charger with a compact 10,000mAh battery and a reduced overall footprint. Dual USB-C ports support up to 22.5W fast charging for compatible devices, while pass-through charging enables connected electronics to recharge as the power bank itself receives power. An integrated lanyard-style USB-C cable functions as both a carrying strap and charging cable, reducing the need for separate accessories during travel or outdoor use.
The housing features an IPX7 water-resistant construction suited to wet environments and active conditions. RGB lighting surrounds the USB-C ports to indicate charging and battery status, while a knock-to-wake function activates the remaining power display without pressing a button. Weighing 4.94 ounces, the power bank is sized for pocket or pack storage and ships with the included accessories listed in the product packaging.
