Compact, efficient, and built for trail use, this power bank simplifies lightweight charging setups.

Nitecore says: 

The Nitecore NB Air is a super lightweight high voltage power bank made from carbon fibre making it portable, durable and reliable.

The NB Air offers 5,000mAh and a 18W input/output and a two-way PD + QC 3.0 Output; it can power up various mainstream electronic devices such as mobile phones, headlamps and more.

The Nitecore NB Air is perfect for outdoor activities such as trekking, trail running, camping and more. The power bank was thoughtfully designed with four round corners and waterproof protection to reduce abrasion, impact and water damage when using outdoors, also allowing a comfortable grip.

The newly upgraded and optimised MCU governs safe operation in real time.

Available to be used in temperature between -10 and 35⁰C

Our Verdict

The updated Nitecore NB Air is a 5,000mAh power bank with an impressively low weight of 90g and a slim, carbon fibre shell that holds up well in wet or rugged conditions. It would be good for trips where you only need to charge a phone or headlamp once or twice between resupply points. The single USB-C port supports 18W input and output with PD and QC compatibility, and the touch-sensitive power button gives you a quick read on battery level. It charges quickly, both in and out, but doesn’t support pass-through charging, and there’s no cable included, so you’ll need to bring your own. The IPX7 rating and rounded corners are nice touches for real-world use, especially when packing space is tight.
