Nitecore vs Anker 10,000 MAh — Price Difference

Just looked at both.   ZPacks has the Nitecore for $70.   For the Anker, I do NOT see on the Amazon Specs, that there is any water resistance.  The Nitecore does have water resistance.  I still would keep in a ziplock.

^Thanks Ray for that price break on the Nitecore.

To add to my options Reddit posters are very big on the 10K Inui brand, also far less at $36. I’ve never heard of this brand. Out in the Sierras for several weeks and need reliability.

Nitecore weighs less and is smaller.  maybe 5 oz vs 6.5 oz.

I got one and have used it on a few trips.

Never owned a Nitecore power bank, but have owned several Ankers and currently own 4 Iniu. I consider both brands to be high quality and reliable. Unless water resistance (agree with Ray J’s suggestion to keep in a ziplock regardless), or the ~1.5oz weight difference is very important to you, I recommend the Iniu 10k. This is the one I have multiples of. $22.50.  6.41 oz on my scale.

I can second the recommendation for Iniu. I own two and have had no problems with them. My main portable charger is an Anker with an onboard Apple Watch magnetic charger, but an Iniu comes with me when I need more than 10k.

Another vote for the Iniu. I own 3. Two different flavors or 10K mah and one 20k. I used the 20k on an 8 day trip last year in the Winds and have used the 10Ks intermittently throughout this year both in urban environments as well as backpacking and winter camping in MN and CA. I like that they have battery percentages on them so that I can monitor things a bit better than just the 4 blinking lights. They are all on sale right now for Prime day too.
