    Default Larger than 10k battery brick…lighter weight

    Plan to do skurka’s WRHR in fall at a slower pace. I lost my 10k brick in September….left in car of hitch after finishing CT. I did Alan’s WRHR few years back and 10k barely lasted the 7 days….planning for 10 days so need lil bigger as will be charging more…assume 15-20k needed.

    "lighter" generally means capacity claims are inflated. There could be some variation due to what the case is made out of, but that would be minor.

    This.

    Also, for charging the bricks, you can get a wall plug with 2 outlets. Then you can charge both at once. And you can also plug in your USB into that output port on the battery and then be charging that device (Phone, Garmen, Headlamp) all at the same time. So one wall plug is first charging two Nitecore batteries, which are then each charging another device. Works well overnight.
    You can also look for a USB adapter that will plug into the Nitecore Input USB, and convert to your USB cord (Sorry, I get all the A, B, C stuff confused). So with that adaptor, you can in the field, charge two devices from one Nitecore.
