I was also confused by this item when I saw it on a Gearbest post on CPF. They also sell it (10 cents cheaper than BG) , but I couldn’t find the thing on Xiaomi’s site. I was interested how they get 10000mAh output. For the 10400, it’s simply 4x 2600mAh cells.
I’d be surprised if Xiaomi didn’t make the things, but it is odd that they don’t show them on their own site.
So you’re saying the fakers cracked Xiaomi’s serial number generator and printed their own fake scratch&see numbers on boxes. It isn’t impossible but we’re talking about relatively cheap products. All this without Xiaomi ever realising that their legit serials are getting used on something they never made.
Have not received the power bank yet. Asked Xiaomi if it was a actual Xiaomi product and they said “no”.
Went to Xiaomi’s Chinese website and sure enough they have the 10000mah power bank for sale. So, maybe Banggood just does not have official approval to sell the new model power bank. Not trying to start a argument with Banggood. So in all likely hood I do have a genuine Xiaomi Power Bank being sent to me from Banggood.
Maybe it is just released for the domestic market and they want to sell out the old ones before introducing the new one. I am just speculating, offcourse
either that or you just talking to the wrong person at Xiaomi :bigsmile:
