Xiaomi Power Bank 2 10,000mAh Review

Both of mine are authentic. You can check yours here

I haven’t bought one yet….I’m new to Banggood and don’t know how to distinguish the real from the fakes. The fact that it’s out of stock on Xiaomi homepage also disturbs my calm…

Can somebody link to one that they believe is authentic?

What about the pro-version, with usb-c there is one on banggood that states QC3? On Xiaomi’s homepage they state its QC2…or have I missed something?

fake?

Nope not fake, but the Mi Pro model, that sports USB Type-C instead of the model that will34 is reviewing here, which has micro-usb instead. I can pretty much guarantee that if you order yours at BangGood you'll get an authentic one.

Thanks, I feel a lot more confident now :slight_smile:

One detail….

Can someone confirm the weight? The old 10000mAh is 207g (according to mi.com) and the new “10000 mAh PRO” model is 238g (according to mi.com). Is this unit heavier at 250g? I think it’s odd that the “PRO” is 31g heavier then old non pro…

As you can read in my own review of this powerbank, that's not correct.

Do you guys not get decent deals on Amazon? Here in the U.K. I can get a top quality Ravpower unit at a lower £/mAh than getting the Xiomi off Banggood.
Admittedly you do get a better value as you go up in capacity but the 13400 Ravpower is close and way better value here.

Quick charging my MotoX Pure at 9 volts

Could you do a review Xiaomi 20000 mah Gen 2, it was just releaved
a pic inside it is better

Not bad at all, does it charge at this same rate with the wall charger?

I contacted BG for a review sample, but they don’t seem to be interested in sending me one.

If the price drops a little I might order one myself and do the tests, the only difference vs the 6x18650 version should be the weight and improved performance. Size, build quality and ports are exactly the same. I wish it came in other colors as well, the white finish doesn’t look too pretty after some regular use.

Maybe I should contact them again? I don’t want to look like I’m repeatedly bothering them to receive free stuff which I don’t really need other than for reviewing.

I asked my guy @BG for a sample, maybe they'll send me one :)

I never used the included charger that came with my phone. I’ve been charging it with a 40 watt 5 volt 5 port Anker charger from the beginning. I’ll break out the original and see how that does tomorrow. This new Xiaomi kicks ass. I’m very happy.

It does charge @9V in my testing :

Check around the 2:52 mark. Charger in case was a Tronsmart Titan.

Dodge, thanks for the review :slight_smile:

Hmm, There is now clearly only a small difference in price, yet quite a big difference in efficiency…

Thanks for the great review again!!

I’m so impressed with this power bank I purchased a second one. It only took 9 days to arrive from Banggood. And yes, it’s legit.

Same here, I have chosen this xiaomi 10,000mAh out of all my portable chargers to be my to-go powerbank. The internal LiPo holds more energy than 3x high capacity 18650s because of the much higher operating voltage range compared to Li-Ion.

I’m about to receive the new Xiaomi 20,000mAh with QC3.0, which also uses LiPo cells, hopefully the same cells from this one. It should be very interesting to see how much better it performs vs the older model with 6x 3,350mah 18650 cells.

Excellent! Let us know when you get it.

Got mine a couple days ago and I’m impressed also.

Cannot do a lot of measuring but when charged/discharged, it heats up only barely. Tells something about efficiency.

Very nice, like it!!

Gearbest has now a Deal on it, 15.21EUR.
I would say for that price (I paid more) it’s a MUST have.

Is there any one shipping this to Australia? These two shops aren’t, Gearbest and Banggood. Ebay is about $10.00 dearer.
