Please make a user replaceable battery one with an protective enough enclosure that I can put on my keg ring but not doing its best to not compromise on size. I don't need waterproofing in this scenario.

[@OlliC1981]

Could you please explain for what the pin is used for that can be pushed up? Edit: Oh you said it. The Nitecore HU60 has a usb-plug that locks in the powerbank through this pin.

[@azirulbahrom5438]

Room for improvement, mounting bracket for NPB1 and NPB2 that can be attached at headband instead of attach it somewhere else around users body. So no need to use long USB cable.

[@kryptonrk129]

Where can i buy the hard cable?

[@Tri-athl0n]

Hi @NitecoreSG based on the specsheet, the NBP1 can withstand low temp of -10c / how about high temperature? what is the tested temp value?

[@ROCKVIDEOMONTHLY]

I just got the NPB1, and I love the design, but am having trouble keeping my usb cords from pulling out. Do you sell any clips that you can put on a cord and make it compatible with the metal T clip that pops out? That would be sooo useful for this. I really wish this would have come with the holster (it’s model 217, in case anyone is trying to figure out which one he showed in video). To anyone complaing about the micro usb; the F21i battery charger/power bank is basically what you’re looking for, just not in water tight container.

[@henrikgustav2294]

Can this be used with emr05?

[@JustaCuriousity]

Hi, is there gonna be NPB2 review soon? :D waiting... read its STILL rechargeable using micro-usb??

[@maximuslanden7856]

[@zagvot]

are there new version of this model? it would be great if the battery is replaceable and the charger is ubs type c

[@NitecoreSG]

None yet for this; but the newer carbon powerbanks like carbo10k and carbo20k are far more efficient

[@james.a]

Is the internal battery replaceable by user? This option would be very useful.

[@NitecoreSG]

Not replaceable. That would compromise the waterproofing

[@james.a]

@@NitecoreSG wouldn’t a simple O-ring or gasket solve that issue?

[@NitecoreSG]

@@james.a that's not the issue, it's the user errors, there will people that forget to tighten it, or have sand go into the threads, and it's not tightened and start to blame the product not being waterproof. That's why it was built that way, especially for products meant for underwater use, reducing the places where user error can occur is key.

A test for the MH12S soon ? Thanks for your channel 👍

[@NitecoreSG]

Yes soon!

[@tonyvzt3938]

@@NitecoreSG if you can do a comparison with the P20i it will be great ❤️

[@joshuatan9206]

Hey man, I just got this powerbank but the problem I face was that it kept lighting up the battery percentage display because of the touch display being super snesitive

[@NitecoreSG]

That’s ok, shouldn’t affect anything. The power drain from the led is almost nothing

[@joshuatan9206]

@@NitecoreSG alright that’s great. Thanks man

[@joshuatan9206]

Hey man can you do a review on the nitecore pouches also? Those that are compatible with the MP and BP back pack series and also the mesh insert. Thanks

[@tyronewalker5764]

Can it charge low current items without shutdown?

[@DerChoppa]

Looks like a nice product....but micro-usb input? WTF Nitecore 😑

[@iksnawiass]

Agree, the port is a huge misunderstanding...

[@adamgrimes820]

Is the 5000mAh battery a standard 21700 that I can remove and throw in my flashlight if I need to or does it have to stay in the power bank?

[@NitecoreSG]

It stays in the powerbank, not removable

[@chukah9484]

This. If I can get this set up of a rechargable battery bank with a removable 21700 and have the enclosure protect it enough with a ring/dhook to put it on my keys I'd be extra sold.

[@Landelutt]

How long does it take to charge this powerbank?

[@marcustan5868]

Hi when can I buy the t rex patch

[@NitecoreSG]

End November everything should be ready to purchase!

[@jameshowlett2729]

If only it doubled as a flashlight too.

[@adamthomas1222]

Lost me at micro-usb, it's 2020/2021 and they're still making micro usb gadgets?

[@GuillermoArturoYouTube]

No USB Type C 😥

[@ryanjaviercabo7390]

Im waiting for the NPB1 with type C input. Micro usb is outdated like c'mon its 2021 i hope nitecore dont use em.

[@venkateshgurrala3586]

I want it 5000mah powerbank bro I am from INDIA 🇮🇳🙏HYDERABAD

[@DoomOfConviction]

It’s a real shame that they have the guts to still sell power banks without USB C, You can buy cheap knockoffs with USB C!

[@NitecoreSG]

Hey this model is no longer in production, the newer ones like NB10k are all USB-C 👍

[@aggaviriyo790]

Micro usb :(
