On reddit, there is lively discussion about which power bank is the best ultralight option. With a cautious rant about remembering to just not using much power.
I am looking however for something more specific. I will be fast packing. That means that I do not want to stay in towns for too long to charge my 5000mAh superlight power bank for several hours. I need something that charges FAST.
I have the INUI 27 000 mAh power bank. This beast can charge with astonishing 100W. So with 50% charged, I can refill the whole thing in about 30 minutes. Amazing! Problem: It weighs 500g.
So, what are the lightweight, quick recharging options? I do not care how fast the power bank charges itself. QC or PD are not that important to me. Only how fast I can recharge it.
The nitecore is generally well regarded for it’s weight savings.
10k mAh, IPX5, 18W / 22.5W fast-ish charging, all under 150g

How fast can they be recharged though? From what I have seen, they take hours.
Yeah, only with 18W. Means over two hours to fully charge them. Do not wanna hang out that long anywhere.
