    Xiaomi 20000mAh Power Bank with Integrated Cable Launching Globally

    Key Takeaways

    1. The Xiaomi Power Bank 20000 (Integrated Cable) is expected to launch globally soon, offering an affordable alternative to the Xiaomi 33W Power Bank 20000mAh.
    2. It has a maximum power output of 22.5W, lower than the 33W model, and features a built-in USB-C cable and ports for charging three devices simultaneously.
    3. The power bank has a capacity of 20,000mAh, allowing for approximately four full charges of an iPhone 16 Pro and can charge it to 56% in 30 minutes.
    4. It includes safety features against overheating and short circuits, and has LED lights to indicate battery level, available in black or white.
    5. The availability and pricing in Europe remain uncertain, although it is already on sale in China, where it is more affordable than the 33W version.

    The Xiaomi Power Bank 20000 (Integrated Cable) has shown up on the company’s global website. This suggests that the accessory might be released in several markets around the world soon. It is anticipated to be a more affordable alternative to the Xiaomi 33W Power Bank 20000mAh (Integrated Cable), which debuted in Europe in 2025 (currently priced at €29.99 on Amazon.de).

    Key Differences to Note

    The primary distinction between these two models is their maximum power output. The Xiaomi Power Bank 20000 (Integrated Cable) is capped at a 22.5W input or output, making it a potentially less costly choice. It comes with the same built-in USB-C cable that has dedicated storage, alongside USB-C and USB-A ports, which facilitate charging three devices at once. However, it’s not clear how power is allocated when multiple outputs are being used. According to the product details, the maximum 22.5W output can charge an iPhone 16 Pro to 56% in just 30 minutes.

    Impressive Capacity and Features

    As indicated by its title, it boasts a capacity of 20,000mAh; Xiaomi claims this allows for charging an iPhone 16 Pro four times. Further, there are LED lights to show how much battery is left, along with safety precautions against overheating and short circuits. The accessory comes in black or white, with dimensions of 128 x 73 x 32 mm (~5.0 x 2.9 x 1.3 inches) and a weight of 342 g (~12.1 oz).

    Availability and Pricing Uncertainty

    It’s not yet known when or if the Xiaomi Power Bank 20000 (Integrated Cable) will make its way to Europe, or what the price will be. The power bank is already on sale in China, where it was released in late 2024. In that market, the Xiaomi Power Bank 20000 (Integrated Cable) is more affordable than the Xiaomi 33W Power Bank 20000mAh (Integrated Cable).

  • Xiaomi Unveils Power Bank with Built-In Lanyard Cable

    Xiaomi Unveils Power Bank with Built-In Lanyard Cable

    Xiaomi has launched a new power bank in China called the Powerbank 10000 33W. Despite its name, the device does not actually have a 10,000mAh capacity. Instead, it features a 5,500mAh battery with 33W charging capability.

    Misleading Product Names

    Xiaomi appears to be adopting attention-grabbing names for its power banks. Earlier this week, they introduced the Power Bank 25000 212W, which also did not live up to its implied capacity and instead housed a 14,000mAh battery. This naming strategy is misleading and should be reconsidered.

    The standout feature of the new power bank is its integrated cable, which is stored in a designated slot and doubles as a lanyard when not in use. This design is especially convenient for those prone to losing cables.

    Practicality and Limitations

    However, the built-in cable is not replaceable, so if it becomes damaged, you may be unable to use it. Xiaomi does include a third, standard USB-C port to provide alternative charging options, which supports a maximum output of 22.5W and smart power distribution when charging multiple devices. However, if the primary USB-C port fails, you will only have this single port available for charging.

    Additionally, it is unclear whether another USB-C port can be used to charge the power bank itself. Without this capability, and if the main USB-C cable fails, the device could potentially become unusable.

    Charging Capabilities and Design

    The device offers a maximum charging rate of 33W, capable of charging a Xiaomi 14 Pro to 51% within just 30 minutes. Xiaomi has also included useful features such as a low current mode for low-power device charging and compatibility with common fast charging standards like PD 3.0 and QC 3.0.

    The power bank’s design is compact and lightweight, with dimensions of 3.2 x 2.6 x 1.0 inches, making it easy to carry in a pocket. It is available in two color options: Deep Space Blue and Light Brown.

    In terms of pricing, the Xiaomi Powerbank 10000 33W is priced at 149 yuan (approximately $21) in China. It is presently offered at a discount of 20 yuan (about $2) and can be purchased from the Xiaomi Youpin platform.
