10400mAh power Bank
So I decided to write up one since I just received my hard purchased unit from Xiaomi Malaysia. One of the proud owner. Hope you like it.
I bought 2 units and a Clear screen protector to make it more than RM82 so I got free postage for it. They packed it in a environmental friendly recycled box.
Same goes with the individual box. Unlike those in China that get a plastic transparent box, this is what I received. Don't really care about how it was packed as long as it's not faulty.
Inside the box, only a 10400mAh silver power bank, a short 22cm cable and a user manual
The specs is written on the bottom part while the upper part, you will see a Power Button, 4 LED lights battery indications, microUSB port and a USB port.

Some of the key features of Xiaomi Power bank includes the pass through charging which do not commonly found in most power banks in the market. So what so hype about this feature? This basically means you can charge your power bank and while charging your phone with it.
Charging the phone with the xiaomi power bank. And to be more adventorous, I tried charging the xiaomi power bank with another power bank while charging the phone. And it works just fine. So it's cool to have such features especially if you have limited power output to charge 2 devices at the same time.
Now going into the INTERESTING part. The dissambling of the power bank. Wanted to sacrifice one unit for the sake of humanity, but luckily i found someone who did it and post it in youtube. Credits to C4ETech for their photos.
This is the weight of the Xiaomi 10400mAh power bank - 254gm
It's easy to open up the power bank. All you need is a screwdriver and a knife or thin metal piece. Once you removed the aluminium chasis, you can see 4 batteries with the circuit board. On the battery, you can see "LGABB41865" written on it. And after a checking it, it's indeed battery from LG with 3.7V 2600mAh. Times 4 units and you will get 10400mAh. With the conversion of energy up to 93%, you can easily charge around 3-4 times of a your smartphones.
What's good about the power bank apart from those being claimed by Xiaomi
- Ridiculously cheap
- Hard aluminium enclosure that able to absorb impacts of 50kg
- Battery capacity as per claimed
What's not so good about the power bank?
- Single USB port for charging, not suitable for those who have more than 1 devices need "food"
- While it's not important to have a torch like most of the power bank in the market, it does comes in handy if it comes with this feature.
