Charging Capabilities

The battery has a 5,000 mAh capacity and supports wireless charging up to 15W through the Qi2 standard. A Xiaomi 17 can charge wirelessly at the full 15W speed, although a magnetic case is needed since the phone does not include built-in magnets. Wireless charging works without magnets, but magnetic attachment improves convenience. An iPhone can draw up to 7.5W wirelessly from the device.

A USB-C port located at the bottom is primarily used to recharge the power bank itself. However, it can also charge a connected phone at speeds of up to 22.5W via a wired connection.

The power bank can charge two devices at the same time, one wirelessly and one through the USB-C port. Users must press the power button to activate this dual charging mode.

Battery Technology and Safety

The internal battery uses a silicon-carbon cell with 16% silicon content. It is rated at 18.58Wh, with a typical capacity of 18.95Wh. A 4,369mm² graphite sheet is included for heat management.

Xiaomi has integrated multiple safety protections to guard against over-voltage, under-voltage, overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, overheating, and electrostatic shock.

Availability and Pricing

The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W, model number MDY-20-EB, is available in select markets. It is priced at approximately $50.
