Sharepower Splits in Half to End Power Bank Fights

Nimble’s Sharepower is a 10,000mAh USB-C power bank that physically splits into two separate 5,000mAh chargers, turning one battery into two handoff-ready modules.

The new accessory, which Nimble bills as the world’s first sharable battery, is launching now and will be available in Apple retail stores, according to 9to5Mac. The idea is blunt: instead of passing one power bank back and forth, users can snap Sharepower apart and charge two devices independently.

Nimble Launches Sharepower, a Magnetic Power Bank That Splits Into Two Chargers

Sharepower is built around a magnetic modular design. When joined, the two halves operate as one 10,000mAh battery. When separated, they become two independent 5,000mAh USB-C chargers.

That makes the product less about raw capacity and more about ownership in the moment. One half can stay with you. The other can go to someone whose phone is running down.

Nimble’s own pitch is short enough to fit on the box:

“Split. Share. Power up.”

Each half has its own charging hardware. The primary hub includes an LED power display and a foldaway USB-C connector. The secondary module carries an integrated lanyard-style fabric USB-C cable and its own LED status indicators.

The company says the battery uses Pogo Pins + Magnetic connections between the two modules. That matters because Sharepower is not just a power bank with a detachable cable; the battery itself is physically divided into two powered pieces.

Nimble lists Sharepower at $79.95 on its product page. The white model is available now, along with Liquid Crystal Blue and Liquid Crystal Pink editions.

Sharepower Targets iPhone Users Who Already Carry USB-C Accessories

The launch lands squarely in Apple accessory territory. 9to5Mac reports that Nimble says Sharepower will be available in Apple retail stores, giving it a cleaner path to iPhone buyers than a typical accessory-only web launch.

The device is not limited to iPhones. Nimble lists compatibility with iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Android, iPad, tablets, wearables, Bluetooth speakers & headphones. Still, Apple Store placement puts the product in front of shoppers already buying USB-C iPhones, iPads, AirPods accessories, and travel chargers.

The split design is the point. Many portable batteries solve the “my phone is dying” problem for one person. Sharepower is designed for the more annoying version: two people need power, but only one battery is in the bag.

Nimble says each separated module delivers 20W USB-C Power Delivery. In Stack Mode, the full unit can output up to 35W across multiple devices.

There is one detail buyers should read carefully. 9to5Mac says both pieces include an extra USB-C port and that Sharepower can charge “as many as four devices at once.” Nimble’s own product page says Sharepower powers “up to three devices at once” and describes the foldaway USB-C connector, built-in lanyard cable, and extra USB-C port. The product specs also describe 35W USB-C PD in Stack Mode “when charging 3 devices.”

That discrepancy is small but relevant. If someone is buying Sharepower specifically to charge a phone, earbuds, tablet, and a second phone at the same time, Nimble’s own three-device language is the safer reference point.

Apple Store Placement Could Give Nimble More Than a Web Launch

Apple retail availability is the clearest distribution signal in the announcement. It gives Sharepower a chance to be seen by buyers who may not be searching for Nimble directly.

For an accessory brand, that placement can change the purchase context. Sharepower is not just competing as a spec sheet on a product page. It can sit near devices whose owners already need cables, chargers, and backup power.

The confirmed spec stack is straightforward:

Nimble is also leaning into materials. The company says Sharepower is made with 90%+ recycled materials overall, uses certified post-consumer recycled plastic on the exterior, and ships in 100% plastic-free packaging printed with soy-based inks.

It also lists the charger as PFAS-free, PVC-free, GRS certified, and claims an average saving of 7.78 lbs of CO2e compared with a conventional charger. Every purchase includes free e-waste recycling for old tech, according to Nimble.

For MLXIO readers tracking Apple’s broader hardware and services orbit, this launch sits far from the legal fights around iCloud Perks and Apple’s latest EU antitrust fight or the platform liability questions raised in Brazil’s loot box ruling against Apple. But it shows the same dynamic from a different angle: Apple’s channels can turn a niche product into a mainstream accessory candidate fast.

The Split Battery Pitch Now Has to Survive Real Use

Sharepower’s concept is easy to understand. The real test is whether the snap-apart design feels as simple in a bag, airport, classroom, train, or conference hallway as it does in product photos.

The published specs answer the basics: capacity, output, USB-C support, dimensions, weight, and warranty. They do not yet answer how the magnetic connection holds up after repeated separation, how the modules behave under sustained multi-device charging, or whether the built-in connector design proves convenient across different cases and device shapes.

The strongest practical case is sharing. A single 10,000mAh bank that becomes two 20W chargers is a sharper idea than asking one person to wait.

The near-term watch item is execution. If the magnets, connectors, and charging behavior match the clean pitch, Sharepower gives Nimble a product with an actual behavioral hook — not just another rectangle with a battery inside.

Key Takeaways

• Sharepower turns one portable battery into two separate chargers for easier sharing.
• Its USB-C design targets iPhone users already carrying modern Apple accessories.
• At $79.95, it offers a new form factor rather than simply competing on battery capacity.
