Nitecore CARBO 10000 GEN2 – Power Bank 10,000 mAh | Blue
30 W USB-C Fast Charging. Carbon fiber unibody. IPX8. 170 g. Blue.
Premium ultralight power – carbon fiber meets 30 W fast charging
The Nitecore CARBO 10000 GEN2 is a premium ultralight power bank with carbon fiber unibody construction and 30 W two-way USB-C fast charging. At just 170 g it delivers 10,000 mAh (38.8 Wh) in a pocket-sized format. Two USB-C ports – one bidirectional (input/output) and one output-only – support PD, QC 3.0 and SCP for smartphones, tablets, cameras and GPS devices. IPX8 waterproof (2 m submersion), 1.5 m drop tested and airline approved (38.8 Wh). Blue honeycomb accent version.
Carbon Fiber Unibody
67 % lighter than plastic – with integrated thermal management
The CARBO 10000 GEN2 uses a carbon fiber unibody shell that is 67 % lighter than conventional plastic housings. Integrated magnesium alloy heat sinks dissipate heat during 30 W fast charging, keeping internal temperatures low and extending cell lifespan. The result: 10,000 mAh in a package measuring just 126.5 × 48.0 × 15.8 mm and weighing 170 g – pocket-sized and ready for every adventure.
30 W two-way fast charging
The primary USB-C port (IN/OUT) supports bidirectional 30 W fast charging: the CARBO 10000 GEN2 recharges from 0 to 100 % in approximately 2.5 hours with a compatible 30 W charger. Output protocols include USB PD, QC 3.0 and Huawei SCP, covering virtually all modern smartphones and tablets. When both USB-C ports are used simultaneously, total output is shared at 15 W (5 V / 3 A). Pass-through charging is also supported.
Built for the outdoors
IPX8 waterproofing protects the electronics during submersion to 2 metres – a significant upgrade from the Gen1’s IPX5 splash resistance. The carbon fiber construction resists corrosion and withstands drops from 1.5 m onto hard surfaces. The operating temperature range of −10 °C to +40 °C covers alpine, desert and tropical environments. At 38.8 Wh the CARBO 10000 GEN2 falls well below the 100 Wh airline carry-on limit and is UN38.3 certified for safe air transport.
