Xiaomi launched its Ultra Slim Power Bank in India back in December last year, and has finally expanded the availability to several European countries, which includes the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and France. This power bank is designed for portability and convenience, which makes it an ideal accessory for on-the-go charging.
This is a lightweight and portable power bank
The Xiaomi Ultra Slim Power Bank packs a 5,000mAh battery and features a slim profile, is just 10mm thick and weighs only 93g. For context, most smartphones released in the recent years weigh between 160g – 230g. Its metallic silver finish adds a touch of elegance, while its compact size (113 x 53 mm) ensures it’s easy to carry.
The power bank is equipped with a single USB-C port, which supports charging speeds of up to 20W. According to Xiaomi, this output can charge devices like the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Ultra to approximately 37% in just 30 minutes. However, the charging speed may vary as different devices support different charging protocols. Unfortunately, Xiaomi didn’t reveal much about the specific protocols this power bank supports. The official website only notes “Charging speed may vary depending on device usage and charging conditions, among other factors.”
That said, it does have a built-in “intelligent recognition” chip that automatically adjusts the output to match the required current for different devices.
You have to keep in mind that the total capacity is only 5000mAh, which is less that the battery capacity of many recently launched phones. And you also have to factor in the losses while charging. So it cannot charge most phones in the market from 0% to 100%. But I can see it’s a really great product for those who travel with low power devices, such as Bluetooth earphones, as it can charge many of those devices multiple times in a single charge.
But how long does it take to refill itself? According to the company’s testing, 1.75 hours. It supports 18W input via the same USB-C port.
This power bank includes nine safety protection features, such as safeguards against overheating, short circuits, and overvoltage, ensuring reliable and secure usage.
