Xiaomi Unveils Ultra-Thin 5,000mAh Qi2 Magnetic Power Bank
Xiaomi has launched a new portable battery that pushes the boundaries of slim design without sacrificing functionality. The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W combines a substantial 5,000mAh capacity with Qi2 wireless charging technology in a package that measures just 6mm thick and weighs only 98 grams.
Design and Specifications
The power bank features dimensions of 98.5 × 71.5 × 6mm, making it slightly narrower than many contemporary smartphones. Its aluminum alloy construction comes in three color options, with the magnetic attachment side utilizing fiberglass material. The internal battery employs a silicon-carbon cell with 16% silicon content, rated at 18.58Wh (with a typical capacity of 18.95Wh). For thermal management, the device incorporates a 4,369mm² graphite sheet to dissipate heat during charging operations.
Charging Capabilities
Wireless charging via Qi2 technology delivers up to 15W of power, though actual speeds vary by device. Compatible Xiaomi smartphones can achieve the full 15W wireless charging rate, while iPhones are limited to 7.5W. The magnetic attachment system works optimally with phones featuring built-in magnets or compatible magnetic cases.
For faster charging, the power bank includes a USB-C port that supports up to 22.5W output when used in wired mode. This same port serves to recharge the power bank itself. A notable feature is the ability to charge two devices simultaneously—one wirelessly and one via the USB-C connection—activated by pressing the power button.
Compatibility and Safety
The power bank's width aligns closely with popular smartphone models, including the Xiaomi 17 (71.8mm), iPhone 17 (71.5mm), Galaxy S25 (70.5mm), and Pixel 10 (72.0mm). Multiple protection mechanisms safeguard against various charging hazards, including over-voltage, under-voltage, overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, overheating, and electrostatic shock.
Availability and Pricing
The device has already reached select markets with regional pricing variations. It retails for approximately AUD 69.50 in Australia, SGD 69.90 in Singapore, and JPY 5,980 in Japan. Availability in Western markets appears limited at this initial launch phase.
Conclusion
Xiaomi's UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank represents a significant advancement in portable charging technology, balancing substantial battery capacity with remarkably slim dimensions. The combination of Qi2 wireless charging, magnetic attachment, and versatile charging options makes it a compelling accessory for users seeking both convenience and portability. While wireless charging speeds vary by device compatibility, the overall package offers a sophisticated solution for on-the-go power needs without adding bulk to mobile setups.
