It is the great modern problem: you need to carry around a power bank to keep your devices charged up, but most of them are either too big to comfortably lug around the whole day – especially in your pocket – and all the small ones don’t have enough capacity to make it worthwhile.
Thankfully there is now the Xiaomi 10 000mAh 22.5W Power Bank 3 Ultra Compact power bank which, as you may have guessed by the name, is designed to tackle this very problem.
Let’s start with the capacity because 10 000mAh is the perfect amount to charge up a phone a couple of times before the power bank itself needs to be charged. It’s also enough to charge up bigger devices like phones, tablets and even portable game consoles, as well as smaller accessories that you may also need every day.
With smart watches, headphones, bands and more all now wireless and in need of their own charge, you can pack this power bank and know for sure that you can keep them all topped up.
The Ultra Compact name is the real kicker and Xiaomi has delivered on the tiny package. This power bank is very light at just around 200 grams so it won’t be weighing you down. It’s also small when it comes to dimensions at only 9 X 6.4 X 2.4 centimetres. You will be hard-pressed to find another power bank that packs this much capacity and features into such a small package.
One of those features is 22.5W, two-way fast charging. It’s two-way because the power bank can fast charge your devices, and it can be fast charged when it runs low. This means that when you’re on the go your devices need to be connected for shorter periods, and the power is stuck connected to the wall for less time.
Another great feature to have is a big port array, another aspect that many small power banks simply look over. The four ports are divided into two full size USB-A ports, one Micro-USB port and one USB Type-C port. The USB-A ports and the USB Type-C ports are all output ports, so you can charge up to three devices at once.
The USB Type-C port doubles as an input port to charge the power bank, or you can charge through the Micro-USB port too. It’s up to you and with so many port types to choose from you can cut down on the number of wires you’re carrying around as devices can share them.
The Xiaomi 10 000mAh 22.5W Power Bank 3 Ultra Compact is available in South Africa right now through leading retailers like Takealot and Makro.
