Xiaomi is also active as a manufacturer of accessories, with the company covering virtually every relevant accessory. Now, the brand has introduced a new power bank that not only supports wired charging, but can also transfer energy without a cable connection. According to Xiaomi, both Qi2 and MagSafe are supported. The maximum output power via Qi2 is specified as 15 watts, while MagSafe-compatible devices should be able to receive up to 7.5 watts.
The relatively compact power bank can be both charged and discharged via cable. A single USB port in the modern and twist-proof USB-C format is available for this purpose. The power bank can be charged with up to 20 watts, and up to 18 watts can be output to connected devices via USB-C provided they support such a high charging capacity.
The capacity is stated as 6000 mAh. Overall, this is a power bank with a rather low capacity. The Xiaomi Magnetic Power Bank 2 has a back with a leather-like coating and comes in two different color variants, namely Porcelain White and Clear Sky Blue.
In its home market of China, the model is currently being financed as part of a crowdfunding campaign, with a current price of around $30. There is currently no information about a global release. Similar products, such as those from UYAYOHU or INIU, are available at Amazon.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
