Xiaomi announces 10,000 mAh USB Type-C power bank

Not long after launching a 20,000 mAh power bank, Xiaomi returns with a new such accessory, but this time with a smaller capacity. However, the 10,000 mAh Mi Powerpack Pro offers a new feature that makes it a must buy for those who plan to grab a Mi 5 or already own the OnePlus 2, LG G5, Nexus 6P/5X, namely USB Type-C support.

The new Mi Powerbank Pro is lighter and smaller than its predecessors, offering support for fast charging with 5V/2A, 9V/2A, and 12V/1.5A configurations. On the other hand, the power pack itself can be charged using fast charging 40 percent faster than a regular 5V/2A charger - it only needs three and a half hours for a full charge.

This new USB Type-C power bank weighs less than 0.5 pounds and will retail for roughly $23 USD in China. For now, the Mi Powerpack Pro is not listed by Xiaomi's global accessory stores, but that should happen pretty soon.
