Nimble’s 10,000mAh power bank splits into two 5,000mAh units

Most power banks are boring slabs of battery with a USB port attached. Nimble’s new Sharepower Portable Charger is different: this 10,000mAh power bank can split in half, turning one pack into two independent 5,000mAh chargers. That makes it a neat fit for travel, shared charging, or the simple human desire to stop fighting over one cable.

When the two halves are joined, the Sharepower acts as a single bank with up to 35W total output and can charge up to three devices at once. Separate them, and each side delivers up to 20W. It is not just a gimmick with magnets, either; the modular setup is the whole point, and it gives Nimble a sharper product story than the usual “more milliamp-hours, please” approach.

How the Sharepower power bank splits up

One half includes a built-in braided USB-C cable, an extra USB-C port, and four LED battery indicators. The other half has a USB-C port, a foldable USB-C connector that plugs directly into a phone, and a digital percentage display. That combination is practical in a way many portable chargers are not: one side is built for flexible charging, the other for quick top-ups without guessing how much battery is left.

• Battery capacity: 10,000mAh total, or 5,000mAh per half
• Total output: up to 35W when combined
• Separate output: up to 20W from each half
• Colors: White, Liquid Crystal Blue, and Liquid Crystal Pink

Price and availability

The Sharepower is on sale now on Nimble’s website for $79.95, with the limited-edition blue and pink versions carrying a ripple texture. Nimble says it is the world’s first truly sharable battery, which is the sort of claim every accessory maker loves to make – but this one at least has a genuinely distinctive hardware idea behind it. For now, it is sold directly by Nimble and should appear at other retailers soon.

A smarter answer to power-bank fatigue

There is a reason modular accessories keep returning: people rarely need one giant battery all the time, but they do want options. This design borrows a little from the way wireless earbuds cases and compact chargers have been getting smarter and more travel-friendly, except here the split itself is the feature. If Nimble can keep the build quality high and the price from drifting upward, this could be the rare power bank that people actually remember to bring.
