Xiaomi had last week sent out a press invite of an event holding on September 21. The poster contained a teaser of what should be a power bank to be released on the said date even thought it wasn’t explicitly stated on the press invite. Now it has been confirmed by no less a person than Lei Jun, Xiaomi’s CEO that a new power bank is in the works and this he did via a Weibo post. The CEO hinted about the release of a Xiaomi Mobile power 2 soon and even shared a photo of what the expected power bank looks like.

One product from Xiaomi which has acquired worldwide admiration, even from those who don’t like Xiaomi smartphones, is the Xiaomi powerbank. In just around two years of its first release, the Xiaomi powerbank have gone on to rake in over 20 million units in sales. Presently, Xiaomi has different power banks with capacities ranging from 5000mAh, 10,000mAh to 20,000mAh.

The picture shared by Lei Jun only reveals a 10000mAh power bank and that’s nothing higher in capacity from what we have seen from his company in the past. However, this one is billed to provide a lot more features than its predecessors. There is a USB Type-C interface and a USB charging output interface and this comes with support for two-way fast charging and perhaps more. We’ll have to wait till September 21 when it would be officially unveiled to know the other features on offer and if its going be so much more for less, talking about the price. The 10000mAh Mi Powerbank Pro with quite similar features, released earlier on, started at just 149 Yuan which comes to around $22-$23.

Xiaomi has disclosed via the Mi community’s official Weibo page, that a new device would be released from its stable on September 21 which is just a week away. Although no other detail was revealed in the post, the teased photo announcing the date contained certain clues which give us an idea of what we should be expecting.

The number 100 is shown to be written on the teased and at the same time, the three digits which make up 100 are designed to look like different types of connectivity ports that would be on the USB. One of the ports resembles the USB Type-C interface which is an indication the Powerbank will likely feature a USB Type-C port. In addition, there is the drawing of the USB 2.0 port as well as another that looks like that of a typical charging port or data port.

Basically, the expected device would likely come with a line-up that includes the three ports, meaning it might be able to charge more than one device at the same time. this would require a large battery capacity, and the largest of Xiaomi’s Mi Powerbank boasts of a 20,000mAh battery capacity. It is possible that the expected power pack would get a notch in its battery capacity.

A couple of days back, we had spotted the Xiaomi 20,000mAh Mi Powerbank. Now, Xiaomi has made this high-capacity powerbank official.

The 20,000mAh Mi powerbank comes with a special scratch proof body to ensure its durability. If you have used the previous powerbanks from the company, after a while, you would have seen a lot of scratches on it. To solve this issue, this particular device comes with a special textured body. There’s six high-density batteries from LG/ Panasonic taking the total capacity up to 20,000mAh.

The powerbank comes with two USB outputs which can charge devices pretty quickly, thanks to support for Quick Charge 2.0. This means that the devices connected to the powerbank can charge at (5V / 2A, 9V / 2A, 12V / 1.5A) with a maximum wattage of 18W. Given its large size, the 20,000mAh Mi powerbank will take about 5 hours to charge completely.

It can charge Mi 4 up to 4.5 times, iPhone 6 for 7 times, iPad Mini for 3 times and Macbook for 1.2 times. That’s not at all bad considering that the powerbank costs just 149 Yuan ($23).

Its been about six months since Xiaomi unveiled the lighter and slimmer 10,000mAh powerbank. Now, the company is reportedly set to unveil an even larger version, a 20,000mAh powerbank. The product was first spotted on a retailer website and its expected to go on sale on November 11.

According to the supply chain sources, the 20,000mAh powerbank will be comprised of 6 x 3350mAh high capacity batteries from Panasonic/ LG. It will support Quick Charge 2.0 which means you can charge at 5V 2A、9V 2A、12V 1.5A for a maximum wattage of 18W. Like the rest of the Mi Powerbank family, this particular device is also expected to be compact and portable. Also, despite its large size, the powerbank is said to take only about 5 hours to charge completely.

As for the pricing, Xiaomi has always surprised us with its product pricing in the past, and its not unlikely that the 20,000mAh Mi Powerbank could be priced at just 129 Yuan i.e. $21 which will be an excellent price for such a large battery.

So, what do you think about a 20,000mAh Mi powerbank? Any takers if its priced under $25?
