Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 16000 (NDY-02-AL)

PowerBanks from the Chinese company Xiaomi are the most popular product in the category of external batteries. They attract with their price-quality ratio, which is the best on the market.

Two ports

The effective capacity of the model with an index of 16000 is a little over 10200 mAh. The loss of real capacity is inherent in all external batteries and is mainly due to the need to convert voltage during operation from 3.6 V to 5 V. Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 16000 has two USB connectors in its arsenal, so the battery can charge two gadgets simultaneously. Both ports give out a current of 2.1 A — charging a tablet or phone is pretty fast. For example, you can charge a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 smartphone with a 4000 mAh battery from scratch in 3-3.5 hours.

Frame

The battery case is made of aluminium alloy, which gives it solidity. The disadvantage of this kind of design is that you can inadvertently scratch the smartphone itself. The dimensions and weight of the gadget cannot boast of miniaturization — it turned out to be very overall and heavy. Therefore, PowerBank is more convenient to carry in a backpack or women's handbag. It will also fit into a jacket pocket, but it will clearly stick out of it.

Travel solution

Indication of the remaining charge is shown by four indicator lights located on the top of the device. Before traveling, you must definitely double-check the charge level, because the main purpose of the device is long-distance trips, where it is not easy to find an outlet for recharging your favorite gadgets.
