The Nitecore NB Plus is a rugged yet ultralight power bank built for those who need reliable charging in harsh or remote conditions. Below is a detailed description highlighting its key features and specifications:
Overview
- Capacity: 10,000 mAh (nominal 3.85 V / ~38.5 Wh).
- Energy available at a typical 5 V output: about 5,600 mAh (at 5 V / ~3 A nominal) factoring in conversion losses.
Design & Durability
- Material: Constructed with double-sided carbon fiber sheets and a lightweight composite frame. The carbon fiber gives tensile strength, while the composite frame contributes torsional rigidity, allowing it to take rough treatment.
- Size & Weight: Measures approximately 122.4 mm × 59.6 mm × 11.7 mm (≈4.82″ × 2.35″ × 0.46″) and weighs about 155 g (≈5.47 oz).
- Body features: rounded corners help reduce abrasion and improve comfort/grip; the shell is reinforced to protect internal components.
Performance & Charging
- Input (to recharge the power bank): USB‑C, supporting up to 18 W max (5 V–3 A or 9 V–2 A) depending on the voltage used.
- Output: Dual ports — one USB‑C and one USB‑A. Both support fast‑charging voltages: 5 V, 9 V, 10 V, 12 V etc., with a maximum output of 22.5 W per port (depending on the voltage/current combination).
- When both ports are used, the total output is limited (for lower voltages) to avoid overload — e.g. about 15 W total at 5 V with both ports active.
Environmental Resistance & Safety
- IP Rating: IPX7 — meaning it can survive immersion in water up to ~1 m for up to 30 minutes. Great for rain, splashes, wet gear, etc.
- Operating temperature: specified typically between about –10 °C to +35 °C in many listings; parts may endure more but performance can vary in extremes.
- Protection features: short‑circuit protection, overcurrent protection, overcharge/discharge protection, temperature monitoring via MCU (microcontroller unit) to ensure safety under load and during charging.
Use & Practicality
The NB Plus is well suited for hikers, trail runners, campers, or anyone needing durable power away from reliable infrastructure. Its lightweight, durable build and water resistance make it easy to carry in backpacks, race vests, or jackets without worrying much about weather or knocks. Fast‑charging means less downtime. Dual ports allow charging of two devices at once (or charging one device while the bank recharges, depending on conditions).
