Are You Choosing the Right Powerbank? Nitecore's Game-Changing Carbon Bricks 

Lightweight powerbank is always my first pick as I commute a lot. Every gram matters.

Great reviews, glad I found your channel. I picked up the EDC27 and had no idea Nitecore had power banks too. Thanks for the straight forward and thorough info. Time to go shopping!

I have a NB10000 and have been loving it's lightweight and compact size for EDC. Not only that, it's performance is amazing! And because of my experience with NB10000, I have never look at any other powerbank brands. Great to see there are improvements for Nitecore powerbanks! Keep up the evolution!!

Nitecore never misses. Been looking into these powerbanks for their light weight.

That's a well rounded review. Very informative. Great job.

As a Long Distance HIker/Backpacker, I prefer the lightest power brick, but when I'm not hiking, give me the biggest and baddest brick you have!

Thank you - most comprehensive and detailed review explained in a very succinct and efficient way!

Thanks for the intro MJ. Bought 2 x NB20000 last year and never looked back since then. Would be cool to have the newer carbo 20k.😊

Bravo MJ. Great product and great review.

Great review! I am definitely interested in the Carbo series powerbanks.

A combination of lightweight, long lasting charge, waterproof and most importantly, very robust connectors that will charge / run anything from headsets, lights to phones and other electrical devices. I have several banks that while the batteries are actually still good, the connectors are usually the first to get damaged / faulty.

Glad you did the review.... Was looking at shargreek

For me commuting, I prefer lightweight as it’s so heavy to bring so many stuff on the go. Having a powerbank light and compact makes a long way to go! Awesome nitecore ❤

These look and perform great. Love Nitecore

Excellent product line break down... this is how all companies should present their products.

I’d been reading lots of reviews about the NB10000, so this was helpful explaining the trade offs. Thank you. I think the Carbo10000 is sweet spot with its low profile and pocketability.

Another great review. 20,000mAh weight only 295.5g is a true breakthrough! I bring along a lot of electric device so the light weight and the high capacity is a god send!

Love nitecore products 👌🏽 greetings from Australia

Being a law enforcement officer, I’ve always been a huge fan of nitecore. From your flashlights to even your pens. Definitely a fan of the carbo 1000 and 2000 as they will not add on to the many worries we already have. Definitely tools that will value add to the jobs. The 2000 will definitely help my team with their electronics needs as well!

I will go for the powerful Shargeek powerbank because of my 3d2n 4x4 off road camping that I need to charge up my gadgets and gears, such like DJI drone, Nitecore P20iX, LR40, ...etc.😊

I travel a lot to I appreciate lightweight over max capacity. Great video, thanks!

Useful video thank you.

New to nitecore products this month, won’t look back after my EDC27 purchase! Didn’t even know you did power banks - a slim one would be great!! Video liked! Regards from The UK 🇬🇧

This will definitely fit my EDC bag.

That display is gorgeous ❤

These are amazing! I need one riding the metro to work. I blow through batteries like crazy.

Definitely need this for my multiday hiking trips. Would be great if they could add the tiny screens showing the more accurate battery life, or remaining time.

I was just looking into powerbanks as we’re getting ready to go on vacation. Any of these would be great for easy portability. Lightweight is a huge bonus.

good info. thank you. I have the larger carbo 20k and a couple of the cheaper nitecore 10k I really like the smaller one and didn't know they had it in the one piece carbon I have the newer one but not carbo, I'll be buying more and needed this in

I purchased an Anker 347 some years ago and it wasn't the best purchase... exactly what you detailed here. It's a massive brick and many of my lighter weight banks outperform it. It's supposedly effective at charging 3+ devices simultaneously but that's not anything I require unless I'm camping. Also I've learned I can't carry it on airline so it's now this massive power bank I use at home or camping trips. It has it's place, but it's place is limited.

I like them both. If I'm going camping I prefer the bigger one but for regular use I prefer the light weight

Hi I love the heavy duty strong powerbank to charge all my gear for offroading and camping.

I love the lightweight version to take to a festival 🙌🏼

I'm an ultralight hiker I think the carbo is going to take the hiking market by storm. Can't weight to get my hands on it! So light!

love both types of the power banks, fast and reliable. But the big bank is the best for camping.

Nice looks good

The small light weight ones are great, but I prefer the bigger banks that I can use multiple times before recharging

I've been looking into a carbo and summit. I'll grab both soon. But i can use the carbo more at the moment. I love my nb10000 and nb 20000

I personally prefer a lightweight powerbank simply because I consider it as an essential EDC item in a very technologically-connected world. You just gotta have the power to always stay connected and up to speed on things. As is with any edc, I believe a general rule to it is that it is something you can carry with you, without even noticing that you have it with you - and Nitecore powerbanks definitely nails it!

Been looking for the best travel portable charger, all other ones are super heavy. So definitely prefer lighter portable ones like the carbo2000. Was just undecided whether to get the carbo or the nb version thanks for the helpful video! 😊

Might have to add the 20k to my next order, they look so cool also

The lightweight charger would be my first pick for my EDC but the heavier charger would go great in my go bag .

Like the compact but sturdy design. Great for business travel. Very pro looking.

Mixed with some dilemma because I use different Powerbanks as there are different situations. But lightweight from Carbo sounds very useful and handy

Prefer the lightweight ones. I bought the Carbo 20k after watching your review, felt the weight difference and I’m happy with it. The LED USB lantern also comes in very handy. Great products, great content 👍 Would be nice to win the Carbo 10k for my hatch-day next month. Cheers

I have 5 Nitecore powerbanks and the one I prefer depends on the situation. When I travel with my family, I don't mind weight. I just want the most durable, highest capacity with multiple ports so the kids can share (NPB4). When I am backpacking, weight is my primary concern, so the lighter the better (NB10000 for short treks, NB20000 for longer time on the trail). When camping with my son's scout troop, capacity and multi-function is importanta (battery + light = LR50, NC10000) . So, it is hard to pick one as the "best"!

Great gear, prefer the lightweight ones for easy carrying while traveling.

As a first responder, it comes in handy for me and need to travel light with my other medical equipment, especially like F1 event medical coverage which i need to power up my torchlight, red, white flashing led, or even usb c built in walkie talkie port to charge. Hope I can win and use on my upcoming F1 event.

Hey really love your products I was wondering where you link shop that we can order😊 from

I like the carbo 10k. I was about to buy the NB10k, gonna wait for these to be available in manila.

carbo 20000 for me as it has the capacity, light weight to carry when i travel for holidays. Usually i only need to charge mobile phone.20w is good enough. By the way nice videos as it breaks down what we need to know.

I love the portability and weight if the carbo2000. I wear cargo shorts at work and the powerbank would fit nice in my pocket

Can't wait!!!

Different types of power banks has different usage depends on occasion. Sometimes I carry light but when you go camping, definitely the higher capacity is better for all the necessary devices

I could use a power bank of any kind 😂 appreciate the videos!

Hey MJ! This is an off topic but I believe that the new Nitecore tiny monster series soon will be equipped with the latest UHI led's. I predicted that Nitecore will make TM40K instead of 30K. Taking the design from TM20k and improving it's grip knurling, then the metal usb-c port cover, and lastly maintaining the 19 led's (probably). Then they will use 1 UHI 100 led on the center for max lumens for the spotlight and then 18 XHP50's for the floodlight. IM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT MOST POWERFUL TINY MONSTER!!!

Nice. the biggeste one is nice !

I have always bought light weight power banks, but lately have been looking into getting a larger one that has a higher capacity and more charging capability.

Lighter ones of course. Especially useful for carrying arnd in warm and humid singapore 😂😂. Personally the carbo 20 k will be my pick especially since i can charge my family’s devices along with mine.

Hey man nearly 500 likes, i like to 20,000 one, im kinda binge watching your videos 😂

Hi where i can buy those led light usb thing? its kinda nice to be a lantern...

I haven’t Hurd of this brand yet, these look pretty good

I am a self confessed Nitecore fan and have a number of your flashlights. I am impressed with the Carbo 10,000 and 20,000 powerbank for their light weight and size, but they do seem somewhat pricy for what they offer. For the most part I have stuck to Anker for my power bricks and power banks. What they offer it is hard to beat. Their 533 has the same power, somewhat larger in size (slightly longer) and not that much heavier. It also has high speed charge and recharge, although at a slower 18W (they were designed for the iPhone 11 and around the same time), plus they offer wireless charge, enabling me to charge my earbuds (Galaxy Buds+), Apple watch and iPhone at the same time. As for size, I think a Xiaomi Mi 10,000 power bank May have it beat, although in a heavier aluminum case. It does also offer pass thru charging and high speed, although their high speed is only 12W (it did come out in 2016). For EDC, this is what I have relied on, but as it is coming on to 7 years old and I can only get about 1.2 charges on my iPhone 11 from it (or 1 full iPhone charge, 1 Apple Watch charge and 1 nitecore tup 1000), the Carbo 10,000 looks like a worthy replacement for it in my EDC micro tech kit (Maxpedition Micro). I do agree with you about the Alibaba or night market power banks with concerns for safety as I have witnessed them swelling and burning. Years ago I bought a Mi clone and had it overheat. Since then I have stuck to name brand power banks (Anker, Mophie, Belkin, basically if Apple sells it, I trust it), but Nitecore is definitely one I would trust given their history on rechargeable batteries. What I would like to see in the future is Nitecore adopting LiFePO4 technology. For high drain, multiple charge use (like with a CPAP), it is the only way to go.

When travelling or camping, I prefer lightweight as I will.probably have this on my person during the day. If staying at home, I don't really mind.

Depends on the occasion but I'd usually choose light weight over capacity

Love to have a light tough power bank.

Do they have a sleep/safety function when you press the button for 10 seconds or more? I know that nb series power banks have this function and after activating it, the power bank must be connected to the charger again to work.

Definitely prefer the lightweight powerbank so it fits discretely in my bag.

I love for lightest one for my edc but i like sharkgeek too.😊

the Carbo 20000 would be perfect for my fishing needs as we often stay offshore for several days.

Well for daily the smaller one, but for a longer trips where you usually need to charge more the one device the larger one

The small ones would be a great solution for recharging my gear while on duty. We are using slightly customized P20iX and a quality power bank could be a good option for backup.

Will love to have carbo 20k as it is lighter and solid. Still own NB 20 k though.❤

Have NB10000 once their NB20000 out I just buy without thinking. So I guess i will cart out carbo soon as well!

light weight all the way, the NB10K is still my best choice

On the daily? Definitely not something like the Shargeek (unless I have heavy use cases), I rather lose some battery capacity and get a sleek/lightweight battery pack just in case I need some extra juice to get my phone or tablet through the day, so something like this Nitecore's latest release is really tempting for me.

Lightweight for sure. Camping, trips away, daily commute and work are all places I need a powerbank so Lightweight over capacity wins out.

I prefer the light weight 10000 for cycle camping and the larger heavier high capacity for use in my campervan.

Personally, for EDC I would prefer lightweight. But if knowing that there will be times that you dont have to carry the powerbank on your body and if I have many devices, I would choose a high capacity powerbank.

Definitely prefer something light and efficient…in short something that can charge a lot but in as light a package as possible. I think I have the previous model 10K.

I like the heavier power banks, it's best not to worry if your power bank is capable of charging your devices.

I prefer lightweight powerbanks as it my current daily bag is already pretty heavy as the weight of stuff really adds up. Also, I have no expected use of a powerbank to charge a laptop in my day to day needs, so the Carbo 10k would be prefect.

Carbon fiber casing are known for their lightweight and durable design. The carbon fiber material provides strength while keeping the overall weight low. it's essential to choose a reputable brand Nitecore for using high-quality and reliable battery cells to ensure safety and performance.

7:07 I have the NB20k. Will it fit into the NPP30 Pouch? It's taller than the Carbo20k, wondering if it will be a comfortable fit or tight fit. Or not at all.

I prefer the smallest and lightest weight. The package for any power bank. These look like they might be close to that

hi, maybe a stupid question but what do you still need USB Type A for? For me, it would be much better if the Carbo 10k only had USB-C inputs/outputs. Additionally, the included connection cable is a USB-A to USB-C cable. Why isn't a USB-C to USB-C cable provided for the Carbo? Thanks!

Lightweight power banks!

Lightweight but also robust! I've broken two nb10000 usb-c sockets by dropping it

When you say carbon brick are you referring to graphene batteries? My understanding is that graphene battery tech is still a couple years from being commercially available at a cost realistic to consumers. Or are they still lithium ion batteries?

Hello, please tell me, do you send your product to Italy?

I would prefer the sharkgeeks as it would be useful to have a power bank that charges faster especially if can be charged with a solar panel. I can have them charging by my side to charge my drone batteries giving me more flying time

Will the carbo be suitable for samsung s20 ultra?

i prefer lightweight powerbanks, particularly for trips or longer drives.

Love nitecore ❤

I'll take two!!!

Large capacity over lightweight as I prefer versatility over portability. Will Work for everything from my steam deck to my TIP SE

Being an owner of 2 NB10000, I would prefer lightweight powerbanks as it suits my need of charging my phone and handheld gaming device.

20k looks good

I have to admit I do prefer lightweight powerbanks for sure

Definitely lightweight. As campers everything comes down to weight and portability :)
