![]() ![]() The 20,000 mAh capacity means that for me I get about 5 charges on my cellphone (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+) so it lasts for a long time before I have to charge it. It has pass-through charging which is better than some chargers that don’t allow that. ![]() The first light is green during normal speed charging and orange during fast charging, which is also as it should be. There is a button to turn it on next to 6 indicator lights. (I hate those chargers that try to get fancy and put a port on the side). All the ports are on one end, as they should be. It feels solid and the speckled soft-touch outer shell is really nice. The design and build feels premium to me. But aside from their mission, which is a noble one, does the product also set itself apart from others in the market?įirst, let me talk about what is good about Nimble. I think they have something there, and I am willing to bet that others will think so too. They believe that having this mission will not only be better for our planet but also attract consumers who will buy into their mission and use their products. That is one of the ‘big rocks’ that Nimble wants to focus on. They believe in those things so much that they even include a plastic sleeve in the box so that you can return for free an old tech product for recycling instead of dumping it in a landfill. They only ship directly to the consumer and avoid retail so they don’t need fancy packaging that uses materials that aren’t biodegradable or recyclable. So when it arrived at my house the box and packaging were decidedly non-descript and there was very little air in the box. To sum it up, (and I can’t really do it justice, so please visit to hear what they have to say) they want to reduce the massive volume of e-waste in the world by designing a product and packaging that is made with things like 100% recycled aluminum, 100% recycled scrap paper, corn, sugarcane, mica, and they use no inks or dyes of any kind. You can read much more about this on their website where they have posted some great video clips explaining their mission and goal with Nimble. One of the big things that the guys at Nimble want to accomplish is to be a different kind of Tech Company. Also included in the box is a plastic sleeve that enables you to mail back for recycling any old tech products that fit in the bag. The Nimble 20,000 mAh portable charger, a magnetic cable holder and strap that attaches to the bottom of the battery, a 1 ft USB-A to USB-C cable, and a small product manual. Compatible with: iPhone 6, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, iPhone X, iPhone Xs/Xs Max/XR, Samsung Galaxy Note8/Note 9, Samsung Galaxy S7/S8/S9, Google Pixel, Other Android Smartphones, iPad, Other Tablets, Fitness Trackers, & USB-Powered Devices.This one is their 20,000 mAh portable charger that allows you to charge any USB device using 2 standard USB ports (1 being a Quick Charge port) and 1 USB-C port. Nimble has multiple portable chargers in different configurations, from 10,000 mAh to 26,000. So let’s see if the $69.95 Nimble charger has enough to break into this crowded market. Some guys at Mophie, one of the leaders in this space, decided to leave and start their own company and do things that no one else was doing. So it has to be hard to come up with something that makes you different, right? Until now. But hey, at least you had that! I have owned just about every configuration you could think of when it comes to size, capacity, number of ports, wireless vs wired, all forms of USB, etc. I remember when the best portable charger you could get would only charge your cellphone about half way.
