Xiaomi Power Bank EUR 16.90

clintondaly · 05-03-2015 1:04pm

I have bought one or two versions of these and out of the box they worked just fine,however after a few weeks it started to lose its charge and not charge the phone at all for a finish

Thargor · 05-03-2015 1:57pm

Generic powerbanks or these Xaoimi ones? Where did you buy from?

Are you talking about xiaomi or just power banks in general. A lot of the xiaomi ones are fake. The one I got from banggood ticked all the boxes for genuine.

Just bumping this thread to get some feedback from Boardsie's who bought the Power Bank that was in the OP. Is it decent or does it go crap after a few weeks?

I ordered 5 of the slim Xiaomi power bank from BG
(A few for myself and family members).
All working fine. I ordered a couple more last weekend as my friend wants them for ecig charging.

Chinese new year probably added 2-3 weeks for people.

Mine is excellent and is 5000mAh as it fully charges a 3100mAh battery and a few other smaller devices on one full charge. Pretty sure it's a legit one.

Ordered from Banggood, took about 3 weeks to arrive, it may have been waiting for me for a few days at work before I remembered to check though.

Pretty good value as its great build quality and reliable so far. Charges at up to 2.1A with the supplied cable so it can charge my phone very quickly.

Just ordered the 1040mah versions from BG. 17 quid. Same price as the 5000mah as the larger one is on sale. Jump on it while it lasts.

Half price too! I got it in Silver.

MrStuffins · 11-03-2015 11:25am

Mine arrived this morning. It had been opened by customs or by somebody and had a big yellow sticker on it saying it contravened some EU law on electronic goods........ but it still arrived.

Just charging it up now and gonna see if it's any use.

Mine arrived today too, charging at the moment.

MrStuffins · 11-03-2015 2:07pm

Charged mine up and decided to see how long it would take to charge my phone from 69%. Plugged it in less than 10 minutes ago and it's now up to 81%. That's with it switched off.

MrStuffins · 01-04-2015 2:44pm

I got mine and then ordered another one and got that one 15 days after I ordered. They seem good quality so far.

Thargor · 07-04-2015 10:58am

Is this a good deal:

Need to pick one up for traveling this Summer, or is that too suspiciously cheap for 16000?

dastardly00 · 23-04-2015 9:57am

I got my Xiaomi Power Bank (the one in the OP) in the post today.
It was shipped on March 11th. I think it got stuck in the Netherlands for a few weeks.

Likewise, good little unit..Has an LED torch as well which comes on if you hold on the power button for a few seconds and the same to turn it off.

When did you order it? I ordered mine on 19 May and still no trace of it.

biebiebie · 14-06-2015 3:36pm

Heres an update for anyone yet to buy.

The original one in first post is currently $16.99 which is for the battery plus led light.

However

Single battery : $11.99
Led: $2.69
Total: $14.68

So it's cheaper (currently) to buy them separately.

Gran Hermano · 14-06-2015 4:56pm

Bangood take about 3 weeks to deliver most items if on stock when ordered.
Just checked a couple of orders I received this week and they were ordered 25/5.
Check their flash deals as it not unusual for them to have same item priced differently for different orders or bundles.

Xiaomi launched this recently http://m.banggood.com/Original-Xiaomi-Mini-Portable-USB-Fan-p-977375.html I expect one to arrive in this weeks post.

I got this one but not happy with it. After 16+ hrs of charging, it charged my phone 37%, that's all. Also Solar charging not working even when I left the phone at the window facing sun. Tested twice so far, may be I got a faulty item.
That's my feedback.

Gran Hermano · 15-06-2015 10:42pm

Been using my Xiaomi banks this month quiet frequently and am very happy with their performance.

Xiaomi fan arrived this morning. (One ordered on 25/5). That isn't performing as well as I'd like. Not powerful enough. Pity as the led attachment works great.

As far as I know the 10400mAh version has been discontinued. They stopped it a while ago and brought out the new (and improved) version - 10000mAh.
The 10400mAh version had problems charging some of the newer iOS devices.
I have a 10400mAh version and it won't charge iOS devices with THESE Connectors. It's great for everything else though. I brought it to Spain with me a month ago and charged all of our devices.

The new 10000mAh is on Allbuy for €12.05 delivered. I've ordered a fair bit from them before and I'm currently waiting on two 10000mAh and two 5000mAh powerbanks.
Normally their delivery is pretty fast, but this last order has so far taken over a week (Which isn't a huge delay so far). They provide tracking also.

Would you recommend the above? Heading to the States in a month and would like to have something to charge on the go. If you do, which would you think would be the better call - have an iPhone 5S.

Yep, I would.
The 10000mAh is a bit bulkier, it's pocketable, but is more suited to a jacket pocket.
The 5000mAh is a lot thinner.

It's up to you. They are both excellent, but it depends on whether or not you want to carry it around walking a lot, or have on a bus/travelling etc..

It's be quite big, and doesn't seem to have anybody taking responsibility for manufacturing it.

- Found it

It's £9.03 on amazon

First two reviews are terrible.

7 of 7 people found the following review helpfulSUBSTANDARD PRODUCT. DEFECTIVE. FAULTY. NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.
By Mr. R. G. Mccomish on 21 Jan. 2015
Colour Name: Black-50000mAh Verified Purchase SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT. FAULTY. DEFECTIVE AND NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. EPCTEK (Trademarket) have offered a paltry £4 compensation for a £16.99 purchase. BEWARE PEOPLE . This firm are a bunch of charlatans.....They know that these items are used in emergencies and when you need to use them the batteries have developed either a memory block, or the batteries are the poorest ever supplied. The powerbank will work only once or twice and never charge up again. I have had the unit for approx 7 months and when questioned their response from Joey was well give you £3 now go away! Not a bad return for £17 of my money. They know these products are substandard
avoid any epctek product and avoid Trademarket. They will rip you off and not give a jot about UK Trading Standards.

The new model 10000 mah from xiaomi is much smaller than the older 10400 mah model, closer in size to the 5000 mah model.

It's quite a bit smaller.. I hadn't realised, I knew it was 'longer' and guessed slimmer..

Gran Hermano · 18-06-2015 12:38pm

It's still no where near as portable as the 5000 mah. I really like how slim the 5000 model is and makes it easy to stick in an inside pocket in a jacket. Surprised they didn't stick in an extra USB out on the new large model to allow dual charging. Still its excellent value especially if the usual quality from Xiaomi. (Much better than buying via someone bulk ordering cheap gear on Ali and flogging via daily deal sites!).
