Brand: Nitecore

Nitecore

Nitecore is the brand for people serious about lithium cells, the one whose chargers display internal resistance and true capacity for every cell.

Founded in 2007, Nitecore is a Chinese brand that has become a global reference in portable lighting: flashlights, headlamps and lanterns favoured by outdoor and caving enthusiasts and professionals. The brand has also made its mark in rechargeable cells, with its LCD-screen chargers (UM, UMS, i2 series) widely appreciated, and its ultralight carbon-fiber power banks (NB10000, NB20000, Pocket 10000). What wins our team over is the reliability of its products and its attention to technical detail: Nitecore is a serious maker, essential for anyone living with 18650 or 21700 cells.

Nitecore UMS4 Charger

33.68€ (20)

The four-bay big brother of the UM2: the Nitecore UMS4 charges four cells at once over USB, up to 3A per bay, with a large and very complete LCD screen.

  • Bays: 4 independent bays
  • Charging: USB QC input, up to 3A per bay (4A total)
  • Display: LCD: voltage, current, capacity, health
  • Compatibility: Li-ion 10440 to 26650 + NiMH AA/AAA
  • Four cells at once with detailed LCD monitoring
The Nitecore UMS4 is a smart four-bay charger that plugs in over USB. With a Quick Charge adapter, it delivers up to 3A on a single bay, or 4A shared across the four. Its large LCD screen shows the voltage, current, charged capacity, cell type and health of each cell in real time. It automatically detects the chemistry and accepts a wide range of formats: Li-ion/IMR/LiFePO4 from 10440 to 26650 (18650, 20700, 21700...) plus NiMH AA and AAA batteries. The reference for charging and monitoring several cells at once.
The UMS4 is the charger we keep on the bench when juggling a lot of cells. Four bays, a large and very complete LCD screen that shows, for each cell, voltage, current, charged capacity, type and health, and fast charging that reaches up to 3A on one bay with a Quick Charge adapter. It swallows the 18650, 21700 and 26650 cells of flashlights without complaint, and also takes AA and AAA NiMH. We like its simplicity: one USB source, and everything reads at a glance. Two honest reservations: you need a good QC adapter to get the full 4A total, and there is no clean cut-off without unplugging. But for charging and monitoring four cells at once, it remains a safe bet.

Nitecore IntelliCharger i2 Charger

See price and availability (18)

A rugged, versatile charger that charges two cells at once, even of different types, from 18650 Li-ion to AA NiMH, with automatic chemistry detection.

  • Charge: 1000 mA max (500 mA on 2 bays)
  • Bays: 2 independent bays
  • Compatibility: Li-ion/IMR (18650, 26650...) + NiMH/NiCd (AA, AAA, D)
  • Auto chemistry detection, rugged, mains or 12V
The Nitecore IntelliCharger i2 is a universal charger that recharges two cells simultaneously, even of different types or sizes. It automatically detects the chemistry (Li-ion/IMR or NiMH/NiCd) and adapts the charge. It accepts a wide range of formats: Li-ion 26650, 22650, 18650, 18350, 17670, 14500, 10440, 16340/RCR123, plus NiMH/NiCd AA, AAA, AAAA and D cells. Simple, safe and tough, it runs on mains or a 12V car socket. Ideal for users of torches and 18650 cells.
The Nitecore IntelliCharger i2 is certainly not the newest or most sophisticated battery charger, but after testing more than 10 chargers of different brands and formats, our team kept this one for its simplicity and durability. It recharges the most common rechargeable formats without any trouble. Extremely solid and long-lasting (we have been using one at the office almost daily since 2014, and it still works without a hitch despite several drops). Protected against overheating and reverse polarity, it stops automatically when the cell is charged or after 10 hours of charging. We also appreciate that it can be powered via a car cigarette-lighter cable, which makes it even more versatile. In short, it only has small LEDs to show charging progress rather than a fancy LCD screen, it is rather rustic, but it is far better and less temperamental than most mains chargers on the market.

Nitecore NB10000

See price and availability (9)Allowed in cabin (flights)

Ultralight (150 g) and clad in carbon fibre, the Nitecore NB10000 offers 10,000 mAh that shrug off water and knocks, ideal for hiking.

  • Capacity: 10,000 mAh
  • Power: USB-C 20 W, USB-A 18 W
  • Weight: 150 g
  • Durability: Carbon fibre, IPX-5, 1.5 m drop
  • 150 g carbon fibre, rugged, water-resistant and flight-ready
At just 150 g for 10,000 mAh, the Nitecore NB10000 is one of the lightest power banks on the market. Its carbon fibre body makes it ultra-rugged (1.5 m drop, IPX-5 water resistance) without adding weight. It offers a USB-C 20 W port and a USB-A 18 W port usable at the same time, plus a low-power mode for small devices. Ultra-thin (10.6 mm) and flight-ready, it is built for hiking, trail running, bikepacking and light travel.
We took the Nitecore NB10000 hiking and travelling, and its knockout argument is the weight: 150 g, you literally forget it in the bag. For anyone counting grams on a trek or bikepacking trip, it is a real game-changer, especially as the 10,000 mAh capacity is plenty to last several days with a phone. The carbon fibre body inspires confidence: after a few knocks and a downpour, it looks brand new, and the woven finish is gorgeous. When charging, the 20 W over USB-C top up a smartphone at a good pace, and being able to plug in two devices at once is handy. The low-power mode is clever for charging a watch or earbuds without the battery cutting out. Two honest reservations: the power stays moderate (not enough to charge a big laptop at full speed), and the ultra-thin format, very pleasant, makes it a little slippery. But for a light, tough, reliable outdoor power bank, the NB10000 remains a hard-to-beat benchmark.

Nitecore UM2 Charger

17.90€ (9)

A compact two-bay charger with a large LCD screen: the Nitecore UM2 recharges over USB at up to 3A and shows voltage, current, capacity and health for each cell.

  • Bays: 2 independent bays
  • Charging: USB QC input, up to 3A (1 cell)
  • Display: LCD: voltage, current, capacity, health
  • Compatibility: Li-ion 10440 to 26650 + NiMH AA/AAA
  • Large LCD screen and automatic detection
The Nitecore UM2 is a smart two-bay charger that plugs in over USB. With a Quick Charge adapter, it reaches up to 3A on a single bay, or 1.5A per bay when both are used. Its large LCD screen shows the voltage, current, charged capacity, cell type and health in real time. It automatically detects the chemistry and accepts a wide range of formats: Li-ion/IMR/LiFePO4 from 10440 to 26650 (18650, 20700, 21700...) plus NiMH AA and AAA batteries. Simple, complete and affordable.
The Nitecore UM2 is the two-bay charger we drop into the bag when we want something serious without the bulk. Two bays, a large and very complete LCD screen that shows voltage, current, charged capacity, cell type and even health, and fast charging that, with a Quick Charge adapter, reaches up to 3A on a single bay. It swallows 18650, 20700, 21700 and 26650 cells without straining their wraps, and also takes AA and AAA NiMH. We like its simplicity: plug in over USB and read everything at a glance. Two honest reservations: you need a Quick Charge adapter to get full speed, and there is no clean shut-off without unplugging. But for monitoring and recharging your cells day to day, at this price, it is hard to fault.

Nitecore Pocket 10000

49.95€ (8)Allowed in cabin (flights)

10,000 mAh and a built-in USB-C cable in 12.5 mm of thickness: the carbon-fiber Nitecore Pocket 10000 slips in anywhere, for just 160 g.

  • Capacity: 10,000 mAh (38.5 Wh)
  • Output: USB-C 22.5 W + built-in cable 20 W
  • Form: 12.5 mm thick, 160 g
  • Toughness: IP65, carbon fiber
  • Built-in USB-C cable, ultra-slim, flight-ready
The Nitecore Pocket 10000 is a slim, light 10,000 mAh power bank built for travel and everyday use. Its woven carbon-fiber shell is just 12.5 mm thick for 160 g, and packs a built-in USB-C cable alongside a USB-C port. You can charge two devices at once, up to 22.5 W, and recharge the bank while powering a device thanks to pass-through. IP65 rated, it resists dust and splashes. A low-current mode nurses earbuds and watches, and four LEDs show the remaining level.
The Pocket 10000 pulls off a neat feat: fitting 10,000 mAh and a built-in USB-C cable into a 12.5 mm body barely bigger than a card, for 160 g. The woven carbon fiber is gorgeous and reassuring, and the idea of a cable tucked into the edge is excellent: no more hunting for a cord, you unfold it and plug in. The 22.5 W is enough to recharge a smartphone at a good pace, and you can power two devices at once through the cable and the USB-C port. The IP65 rating reassures in the rain, and the low-current mode is perfect for earbuds. Two honest reservations: the power stays tuned for smartphones and tablets, not for charging a laptop at full speed, and the price can climb depending on the seller, so it pays to compare. But for a slim, elegant and genuinely well-thought-out pocket bank, it is among the best.

Nitecore NB20000 Gen 3

89.90€ (8)Allowed in cabin (flights)

20,000 mAh for just 291 g: the carbon-fiber Nitecore NB20000 Gen 3 is the ultralight power bank for hikers and travellers.

  • Capacity: 20,000 mAh (72 Wh)
  • Output: 2x USB-C, 22.5 W max
  • Weight: 291 g (carbon fiber)
  • Toughness: IPX5, pass-through
  • Ultralight 20,000 mAh, cabin-friendly
The Nitecore NB20000 Gen 3 is a 20,000 mAh power bank built for the outdoors and light travel. Its woven carbon-fiber body makes it exceptionally light (291 g) and tough, with an IPX5 rating against water spray. It has two USB-C ports delivering up to 22.5 W, letting you charge two devices at once, or recharge the bank while powering a device thanks to pass-through. With 72 Wh, it recharges a modern smartphone about three to four times and stays cabin-friendly. A concentrate of runtime for the backpack.
The NB20000 Gen 3 is the bank we grab without hesitation for hiking or travel, when every gram counts. Its killer argument is the capacity-to-weight ratio: 20,000 mAh for just 291 g, where a conventional bank of the same capacity often weighs 350 to 450 g. The woven carbon-fiber body is gorgeous, light and reassuring, and the IPX5 rating means no panic in a shower. The two USB-C ports are handy for charging a phone and a watch at once, and pass-through lets you recharge the bank while powering a device. Its 72 Wh keep it under the airline limit, a real plus for travel. Two honest reservations: the 22.5 W output is enough for smartphones, tablets and small devices, but not to charge a laptop at full speed, and the lack of a USB-A port means everything goes through USB-C. For the outdoors and light travel, it remains a benchmark that is hard to beat.

Nitecore Carbon 6K

34.79€ (6)Allowed in cabin (flights)

88 g, IP68 and a carbon-fiber shell: the Nitecore Carbon 6K is an ultra-portable 6000 mAh power bank that also extends Nitecore 6K headlamps.

  • Capacity: 6000 mAh (21.6 Wh)
  • Output: USB-C 10 W (5V/2A)
  • Weight: 88 g (carbon fiber)
  • Water resistance: IP68 (2 m submersible)
  • Ultralight, waterproof, 6K headlamp extender
The Nitecore Carbon 6K is an ultralight 6000 mAh power bank built for the outdoors and everyday carry. Its carbon-fiber shell keeps it to 88 g while making it tough, with an IP68 rating (submersible to 2 m). It recharges a smartphone, a watch or earbuds over its USB-C port (10 W), and also acts as a backup battery to extend the runtime of Nitecore 6K-series headlamps. A rear red safety light and a record energy density round off this concentrate of portability.
The Carbon 6K is a product apart: it is not the most powerful power bank, but it is one of the lightest and toughest we have handled. At 88 g for 6000 mAh, in a woven carbon-fiber shell, it disappears at the bottom of a trail pack or a pocket. The IP68 rating, which allows submersion to 2 meters, makes it at home in the rain, on a kayak or in a cave. We like its dual function: on top of topping up a phone or a watch over USB-C, it extends the runtime of Nitecore 6K headlamps on long night outings. Two honest reservations: the 10 W output is modest, this is a backup battery rather than a fast charger, and like any cell of this type, the usable capacity is below the advertised 6000 mAh (real-world useful energy is closer to 3500-4000 mAh at 5 V). But for pure lightness and toughness, it is hard to beat.

Nitecore NWL30 Work Light

99.90€ (4)Allowed in cabin (flights)

Light up, recharge and repel mosquitoes: the Nitecore NWL30 is a 3-in-1 work light with 3000 lumens and a built-in 18,000 mAh battery.

  • Lighting: 3000 lumens, 2700-6500K adjustable
  • Battery: 18,000 mAh (20 W power bank)
  • Functions: Light + mosquito repeller + power bank
  • Weight: 515 g
  • 3-in-1: light up, recharge, repel mosquitoes
The Nitecore NWL30 is a 3-in-1 outdoor work light: a powerful 3000-lumen light with adjustable color temperature (2700-6500K), a mosquito-repelling function, and a big 18,000 mAh battery that also works as a power bank (20 W output over USB-C and USB-A). With a red signaling light, up to 130 hours of runtime and a full charge in 3.6 hours, it suits camping, fishing, bivouacs and power cuts. A versatile bundle for the outdoors.
The NWL30 is one of those objects that quickly earn a spot in the car boot or the bivouac bag. On paper, the 3-in-1 smells of gimmick, but in use each function holds up. The 3000-lumen output is genuinely powerful for a light this size, and the stepless color-temperature adjustment, from warm white to cool white, is a real pleasure for switching from a dinner-table mood to true work lighting. The 18,000 mAh battery gives solid runtime and does a real job as a backup power bank, with its USB-C and USB-A outputs. The mosquito-repelling function does the job on summer evenings. We also like the red signaling light and the rugged build. Two reservations: at 515 g it is not ultralight, and its price places it above a simple lantern. But for anyone who wants a single object that lights up, recharges and repels mosquitoes, it is very convincing.

Nitecore LR70

See price and availability (3)Allowed in cabin (flights)

Three devices in one: a 3000 lm flashlight, a 360-degree camping lantern and a 10,000 mAh power bank, all rechargeable over USB-C.

  • Capacity: 10,000 mAh (2x 21700 cells)
  • Lighting: 3000 lm flashlight, 400 lm lantern + red
  • Functions: Flashlight, 360-degree lantern, USB-C power bank
  • Durability: IP67, 1 m drop, 271 g
  • 3-in-1: 400 lm lantern, 3000 lm flashlight, 10000 mAh power bank
The Nitecore LR70 is a clever 3-in-1 device that combines a powerful flashlight (up to 3000 lumens, two Luminus SST40 LEDs), a 360-degree camping lantern (up to 400 lumens, with red and SOS modes) and a 10,000 mAh power bank able to recharge a smartphone via its USB-C port. Compact (271 g) and rugged (IP67 waterproof, resistant to 1 m drops), it recharges itself over USB-C and becomes the ideal companion for camping, bivouacs and emergencies.
We loved the Nitecore LR70 for its Swiss-army-knife take on light. Hiking or camping, having in a single object a flashlight that can light up 300 m away and a mood lantern that glows at 360 degrees genuinely changes things: you light the path, then set the device down in the tent for a warm, pleasant light, without carrying two accessories. The 3000 lumens in Turbo are stunning for the size, and the lantern modes (soft white, plus red, SOS and beacon) are perfect at a bivouac or in a pinch. The power-bank function is the third asset: the 10,000 mAh recharge a smartphone over USB-C, enough to save the day when things get tricky. The build inspires confidence, IP67 waterproof and impact-resistant, and USB-C charging is handy. Two honest nuances: at full power, the runtime drops fast (Turbo is made for short bursts), and at 271 g it is not the lightest accessory. But for anyone wanting a single device that lights up strongly, illuminates a camp and rescues phones, the LR70 is a versatile success.
