Who each one is for
Buy the Anker 313 Power Bank for budget buyers and ultra-slim everyday carry, though it is the wrong buy for fast-charging modern phones and laptop charging. The Nitecore NB10000 Gen 2 suits ultralight and thru-hiking backpacking trips and trail runners carrying minimal gear, though it is not the pick for laptop or high-wattage device charging and multi-device simultaneous charging (only 2 ports). Our rating of the Nitecore NB10000 Gen 2 (8.3/10): the lightest well-built 10,000mAh bank we've found, purpose-built for ounce-counting hikers.
