Are you tired of the awkward back-and-forth dance when sharing a portable charger? Nimble has just unveiled a game-changing solution at CES 2026 that could revolutionize how we power our devices on the go. Meet the Champ Stack 10K, a split power bank designed to let two people charge their phones simultaneously—without being tethered to each other. But here's where it gets even more intriguing: this isn't just a simple charger; it’s a cleverly engineered device that splits into two fully functional mini power banks, each with its own unique features.
At first glance, the Champ Stack 10K looks like any other 10,000mAh power bank, complete with a built-in USB-C cable. However, its true innovation lies within. The device is designed to safely separate into two 5,000mAh units, each capable of operating independently. One half retains the integrated USB-C cable, while the other includes a fold-out USB-C connector, eliminating the need for extra cables. This thoughtful design ensures both users can plug in instantly and move freely, making it perfect for travel, crowded events, or everyday scenarios where multiple devices need charging.
Each 5,000mAh half is powerful enough to fully recharge a depleted smartphone, catering to most modern devices. While the charging speeds aren’t the fastest on the market, they’re more than sufficient for phones and smaller gadgets. The full unit supports up to 30W charging, while each separated half delivers up to 20W. And this is the part most people miss: the Champ Stack 10K isn’t just about convenience—it’s about addressing a common frustration with a simple yet effective mechanical solution.
But here’s the controversial part: With an estimated price of $A80, the Champ Stack 10K sits at the higher end of the portable charger market. Is the added flexibility worth the premium? Nimble seems to think so, targeting users who frequently share power or juggle multiple devices. While some may argue it’s a niche product, others might see it as a small but impactful upgrade to a familiar accessory.
Scheduled to launch in spring 2026, the Champ Stack 10K could redefine shared charging, making it far less inconvenient. But we want to hear from you: Is this the future of portable charging, or just a clever gimmick? Let us know in the comments—we’re eager to hear your thoughts!
