Nitecore POCKET 5 5000mAh Magnetic Power Bank with Built-In Cable

Great idea. Fixed cord is a real problem.

I’ve not used this much yet and hope to update at some point. But the unit is very slim and seems very nicely constructed overall. I held off buying it because of the charging cable being permanently attached at one end. after taking the plunge and buying it, I remain worried about that cord and would hesitate to recommend this product for that one reason.I wish that cord could either tuck securely along the edge of the power bank OR that it was fully removable (the better solution). It looks sturdy but it sticks out a lot, which means it will inevitably get bumped a lot and it’s not nearly as friendly for getting into and out of a bag as it should be. How long before it fails? Then what? The fixed cord just seems like a rather huge design flaw. If it weren’t for that cord issue, I’d buy three more of these straight away.

For when the power goes out.

Out in the sticks where I live the power is always going out. Had a big storm the other day with power out for two days but my phone stayed at full charge even with lots of use. I have other powerbanks, but thought to use this outage to test the new nitecore and it kept my phone and nitecore lights going strong for longer than I expected. I own many nitecore products because they don't let me down (except for that old E4K but to be fair it did spend some weeks living in the yard before I found it).

Never enough battery for the wife…

Outstanding device. Bought it for the wife, she enjoys it very much. She always needs extra juice…🤣
