The lightweight, carbon powerbank from Klarus is a direct competitor to a similar product from Nitecore. It has a capacity of 10000 mAh and weighs 156 grams. It offers 2 ports on the front - USB-A and USB-C. It includes a physical button to view a numerical charge indicator or to switch low current charging.
The maximum charging speed of the power bank is 18W, and it can reach full charge in over two hours. It offers IP68 protection, so it should be able to withstand prolonged immersion in water. Which makes it a great companion for the outdoors, where water is inevitable.
📏 Compare with Nitecore NB10000
Compared to the competition with Nitecore, Klarus K5 is about 6 grams heavier, but again offers a numerical charge indicator. It has rounded corners, is slightly thicker, but shorter. Its shape suits me a bit more and it is easier to handle.
According to tests, it is slightly less efficient than the Nitecore, so you get less juice from it. But it's a difference in units of percents.
The Klarus K5 has better water resistance and meets all the requirements for powerbank for bikepacking and other outdoor activities.
🕵️ Summary
I like this powerbank and I carry it on most bikepacking trips. So far I have had no problems with functionality and its capacity is fully sufficient for me. The size and weight are great. It is one of the best powerbanks for bikepacking.
The downside is definitely the price, as you could get several powerbanks with the same capacity instead.
The powerbank can be found on Amazon.
