A Lightweight Disappointment - The Unfortunate Truth - NiteCore NC10000 Battery Bank Review

When it comes to ultralight battery banks, in my opinion the NiteCore NB10000 is hard to beat. With that being said, recently I discovered that NiteCore has another small form factor battery bank called the NC10000.
This one has one USB-C port and includes a built-in flash light.
Get ready folks, this product is a glitchy mess.

The reason they are using c ports is because they are thinking ahead, last year the European union voted for all companies to use one port that fits all devices and thats where the USB c comes in, takes effect at the end of next year, starting next year as well apple is switching all products to usb c to save cost instead of making different connections to different countries

@Gareth769 Год назад

thanks for pointing that out - as so many people are currently unaware. I feel for all those hotel, train, bus, restaurants etc with older usb charge points who will have to eventually change! (or we all carry usb convertors.. )

I challenge the concept of “thinking ahead”…. If rhe law goes into effect at the end of 2024, this product will not be fully universal until almost 2026….. thats three years for other company to surpass them and create a product superior in both performance and cost mesnwhile every battery pack on the market TODAY with a USB output IS universally compatible…. ….

this is really just an issue with this product imo. other nitecore products have more engineering behind them. they usually make custom products. this battery pack is 55$. they are probably using 2x 21700 batteries wrapped in a piece of plastic with a cheap PCB added in to control the lights, power button, and port. I think this is a quickly made budget offering since most of their other things are usually around 100$+ and are rather well made.

Luke, always love your reviews, and would be cool to see a review of the same products occasionally done with Susan next to you. That way we can have details from someone that’s read the entire manual.

@jeremymoses7401 Год назад

Lets be realistic... if youre an electronics person, or have been using power banks for any length of time.. (basically not new) then youve already got the cables and adapters🙁 and, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments... most things are going to usb c

@ChrisCollins001 Год назад

That's something I would throw in a backpack or the saddlebag on my bike. I don't use the flashlight that often and I do carry a dedicated flashlight on my bike, in my car, and when I hike/camp. The flashlight would be for emergency or niche use cases. As far as only USB-C, most everything I have these days is USB-C to USB-C, even my USB-A cords have USB-C adaptors on them so that won't be an issue for me. The selling point is the size and that's what I'm drawn too. I have plenty of powerbanks, but I'm always looking for high capacity in a smaller form factor.

@outdooraf Год назад

Might be a 'safety' feature so the light doesn't come on from haphazard button pressing or pressing against something while stowed

@CicadaAppreciationSociety Год назад

That was what I was wondering - is the double tab a lock out function? That way it doesn’t accidentally come on in your bag? Odd of that is the case, as holding it for 3 seconds should be enough prevention

@MrPablosek Год назад

@@CicadaAppreciationSociety It's exactly what it is. Holding for 3 seconds is not a perfect solution. You might have something in the bag that pushes onto the powerbank's button for more than 3 seconds.

The USB C is what I look for with camp gear, personally. It transmits more power so it charges faster into the external power and charges your device faster. This is a big plus for me. I’ll spend the extra $6 for a cord. 👍

@EspadaMK Год назад

The double tab is almost certainly a button lock. I am guessing one of the others if for power outages so the light turns on if there is power loss. NiteCore quite often add this type of functionality.

@goodredman Год назад

Had similar thought. Definitely lockout function. As well the long three second hold to turn on most likely idea is if it’s in your pocket pressing against something won’t come on unless it’s for three seconds.

@umaiar Год назад

@ironked Год назад

I was given something like that at a trade show. Folds up like a pocket knife. About the size if a multiblade knife. USB A in and micro, C and Lightning out. Like an little octopus. If I don't need a longer cable, it works great.

@TheIamyourmother Год назад

A single USB c to USB a converter will do the trick for less weight and a smaller form-factor, if one doesn't need to charge multiple devices at once.

@BroncLander Год назад

I only buy things with USB-C Type ports. It's what everything will be soon because of regulations that all new stuff should all be the same. Nitecore stuff has always been pretty good to me so far. I use their chargers for my 18650 batteries. But for powerbanks, unless it's covered in a solar panel, it just isn't one I would consider. Currently I have a stack of them, all numbered- enough to keep them in the window charging on solar and cycle them to charge my phone and laptop and tablet.

@jeromebullard6123 10 месяцев назад

No matter the brand, these power banks can burst into flames. It happens more often than you think. My friend lost over $4k worth of gear when his power bank burnt up inside his pack. Don’t carry these things stuffed inside your backpack. Hang it off the side or off your belt so you can quickly get away from it if it goes.

There is a lot to not like. The switch issue seems to me to be poorly written firmware. I assume USB-C will soon replace all other USB ports on upcoming hardware....and that is a good thing.

You clip it to the outside of your back pack and you hike while it charges it's not in the way, i have 8 of them but only take two on hike/camping. They charge my phone, lanterns, flashlights everything i take with me. They are a life saver.

@qtbearqt Год назад

I'd be a bit annoyed if it didn't have USB-A but there's options on cables that contain multiple outputs off of USB-C. There are also USB-C to A adapters so we're not entirely in trouble. Ultimately, having USB-C only might help with the IPX rating. I am starting to get annoyed by USB-C cables. Some perform wildly different and there's no real way to tell them apart. Some are Thunderbolt, others can be used for video, some can charge super fast, some can charge small devices, and so on.

@magnuslindgren9460 Год назад

One thing I find interesting is when you connect these devices to other power banks. Who charges who? I have some kWh banks that gets rather confused when I connect my laptop to them. Like "what am I supposed to do with this thing you just attached to my usb-c pd port?"

@PippetWhippet Год назад

Usb a is one directional - the big square plug is always the output, the lightning/micro/mini end is always the input. With this device - usb c to usb c, then the two devices communicate and negotiate with each other. For example, I have a light with a power bank, it will charge my phone, but a power bank will always charge it - that’s because my phone always demands and never supplies power and the light has been programmed to demand power if something identifies itself as a battery is connected but supply power at all other times. Most devices that have a secondary function as a power bank work this way, and most devices that don’t have a power bank function always demand and never give power. Obviously you get oddball products that do strange things but they are fairly few and far between. Your laptop’s usb c probably has some dip switches inside that you can flick to modify the behaviour or maybe the ability to set it in bios. It could be that it knows exactly what to do but the powerbank can’t supply enough power to initiate charging.

@magnuslindgren9460 Год назад

@@PippetWhippet Well, there is usb otg (usb on the go) 🙃 Basically, there is a negotiation taking place on the bus, who is going to be the host and who is not. There can be two host capable devices on the bus at the same time, but eventually, there can be only one. So who is it going to be? The one with the most power? How do you figure that out if both have a lot of power? Who is going to give up? Interesting isn't it. 🤔

@Minionz Год назад

Just to note, while the lack of a USB A is bad as far as functionality, the USB A has a max charging rate of 12W, so it would charge at a little over half the rate the battery bank is capable of. That is why many packs that are faster and faster chargers (45w), don't include a USB A anymore, because the speed of charging is not viable on that port.

@WardenWolf Год назад

I believe an A port can push more as long as it's a 3.0 / 3.1 C rated port. There are A ports that are fully C compatible. That's what modern computer motherboards have.

@SeraphX2 Год назад

coming from the power source, you only need one: C. it's the other end for the devices that matter: C, micro USB (pretty much just these two these days). very few devices have A on the receiving end anymore anyway. the only reason A is still on most banks is so people with old cords can still use them. But A is quickly dying out. the reason we "have so many" is literally because of people like you that still want A instead of upgrading....... you're literally the problem that you are complaining about.

Thanks for the review Luke, you might want to think about testing true MaH output. Because if they are saying 10000 but only 6000 output that’s 60% efficiency at what amperage draw ? As for the type C unfortunately it’s just the future. Type A is very limited and basically out of date. Just a waste of space and cost with limited amperage. Like you said people can just buy a type C to old school device if they wish. 😊

pretty much what i said. but amps are kinda fixed. that doesn't vary as much since the wires will dictate a max. voltage will change the most and if he wants more watts, volts have to go up and that is the biggest driving factor toward mAh loss since that conversion is where the heat loss is generated. he can't have his cake and eat it to, and i don't think he realizes that. especially considering he thinks the 6500 rating is before(?) the port? no, that's not how that works.

When they measure a battery they do it at 3.65 v. So when it's at 5v it's more like 6k mah. It's a tricky way power bank manufacturers operate.

@@brantgoose i wouldn't call it tricky. they call it 10k because that's what the battery holds. but once again even if they said 6500 that would depend on the item drawing the power and how much voltage was allowed for that device. they have to pick some voltage or list values for every voltage. though I suppose the layman's math of thinking battery mAh divided by device mAh would be much closer to reality if they used ANY rated value over the full storage number.
