Nitecore NB10000 Gen4

At S&S Archery, we don’t sell gear just because it’s new; we sell it because it solves a problem in the mountains. If you’ve spent any time chasing elk in the high country, you know the "weight vs. utility" struggle is real. You need your phone for OnX, your InReach for safety, and your headlamp to get you back to camp after a late-night pack out. The Nitecore NB10000 Gen4 is the latest evolution of the power bank that has lived in our kits for years. It’s lighter, tougher, and smarter. WHY WE LIKE IT Ounce-Counter Approved: At just 5.04 oz, it is roughly 40% lighter than any other 10,000mAh bank on the market. When you're "going in light and coming out heavy," every ounce saved on electronics is an ounce of meat you can carry. IPX7 Waterproof: We’ve all been caught in those afternoon Idaho downpours. The Gen4 is rated for submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It’s built to survive the swampy bottom of your pack or a creek crossing gone wrong. Knock-to-Wake: This is a game-changer for early morning glassing sessions. Instead of fumbling for a button with frozen fingers or hunting gloves, a simple tap on the side of the bank lights up the status indicators. Dual USB-C Output: Nitecore ditched the legacy USB-A port for a second USB-C. You can now fast-charge your phone and your headlamp simultaneously at 22.5W, getting you back in the field faster. BUILT FOR THE LONG HAUL The Gen4 features a carbon fiber reinforced frame and panels, making it virtually puncture-proof and incredibly rigid. It won't flex in your bino harness or get crushed at the bottom of a 100lb load. The new silicon-carbon anode technology also means it retains its capacity better over time—crucial for a piece of gear you’re going to rely on for years to come. Our Take: If you’re serious about your backcountry setup, this is a no-brainer. It’s the most efficient power-to-weight ratio we’ve found, wrapped in a bomb-proof shell.
