The Nitecore NB10000 Gen 4 is a compact and ultralight power bank aimed squarely at endurance athletes, backpackers, bikepackers and trail runners who count every gram in their kit. The latest generation of Nitecore’s well-regarded battery pushes the balance between capacity and weight further than before.
Priced at around £66, the NB10000 Gen 4 weighs just 146 grams on the scale and measures 1.45 x 11.6 x 4.68cm. That makes it the lightest and most compact 10,000mAh power bank currently available, an appealing proposition for anyone looking to trim excess bulk from their gear.
Built for the outdoors
The appeal of the NB10000 Gen 4 lies in its restraint. Rather than piling on additional features, the design keeps things focused on what matters for outdoor use: a high 10,000mAh capacity in a package that remains genuinely portable. For those who spend days away from mains power, the reduced weight can make a meaningful difference across long distances on foot or by bike.
Compact dimensions and low weight
At 146 grams, the Gen 4 is light enough to disappear into a pack without adding noticeable strain. Its slim footprint means it slots easily alongside other essentials, making it a practical companion for multi-day trips where charging opportunities are limited.
The combination of ultralight construction and full 10,000mAh capacity positions the NB10000 Gen 4 as a specialist tool for the endurance and outdoor community, where minimising carried weight is a constant priority.
