What to Look for in a Power Bank

Not all power banks are created equal.

Traveling these days typically involves toting around a few devices from destination to destination without always having the convenience of using a wall charger to keep them all topped up. That’s why, nowadays, a quality power bank is an essential part of your kit. But with so many options available on the market, how do you know which one is best suited to your needs? 

NETSTOUT’s latest addition to its award-winning product lineup addresses common concerns with features that discerning travelers should consider when adding a new piece of tech to their loadout. It’s just what you would expect from NESTOUT, the innovative eco-friendly power solutions brand from ELECOM, which has established a reputation for excellence by winning more than 150 Good Design Awards and 66 IF Design Awards over four almost decades.

Built for Travel

Seasoned travelers know that whether you’re on the trail or in the terminal, every gram counts, and being efficient with how much you carry means less fatigue, less soreness, and more energy to tackle your next adventure. 

The 5000mAh power bank joins the lineup alongside its larger 10000mAh and 15000mAh siblings, offering a more lightweight and portable solution to your charging needs. 

Weighing just 4.9 ounces (241g) and measuring 5.3 x 1.4 inches, this portable powerhouse is designed to keep you at the ready without slowing you down.

Built for Adventure

NETSOUT Outdoor Batteries are inspired by classic camping gear and are built to endure harsh environments. Tested using the U.S. Military Standard, MIL-STD-810G 516.7 drop test, they feature a rugged, tubular design that incorporates a shock-absorbent cushion and a hard-shell body that’s shockproof, dustproof, and waterproof. 

A screw-on cap with airtight O-rings secures the USB-A and USB-C ports, protecting them from water, dust, and debris.

It also has an IP67 rating, meaning the battery is suited for complete immersion at a depth of approximately three feet for up to 30 minutes. This added peace of mind means worry-free use in various conditions, including hiking, camping, backpacking, and the rigors of the daily grind.

Built for Versatility

The 5000mAh model offers fast and flexible charging with 20W output through both USB-A and USB-C ports. It can be charged in approximately two hours and can also charge devices while being charged simultaneously.

The 5000mAh battery, alongside the 10000mAh and 15000mAh variants, has been integrated into the NETSTOUT ecosystem with a modular design that seamlessly incorporates accessories such as tripods, carabiner hooks, lamps, and solar panels. All models are fitted with a ¼-20” thread that supports most tripods and other accessories.

Built for You

Available in five color options (black, beige, blue-gray, olive green, and mustard), the new 5000mAh battery is the perfect addition to your upcoming trip, EDC, or bug-out bag. 

Whether you’re hiking through wet and rocky terrain, camping under the stars, or navigating city streets, the NESTOUT 5000mAh battery keeps you in control and ready for whatever challenges come your way.
