Xiaomi has launched a new power bank called PB2165. It comes with a massive 20,000mAh battery and supports 165W dual-port output. The power bank is now available on JD.com for 299 yuan (around $42). But for a short time, you can get it for 269 yuan (about $38). That’s a great deal for what it offers.
Power and Capacity
The Xiaomi PB2165 power bank uses four 5000mAh lithium-ion cells, giving a total energy of 70.56Wh. It has a rated capacity of 11,000mAh (5V/7A). The best part is that it follows international flight rules, so you can carry it on most airplanes.
Ports and Charging Power
It comes with three output ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. The main USB-C port supports 120W fast charging, the second USB-C supports 45W, and the USB-A port supports 22.5W. Together, the two USB-C ports can output 165W total.
Here’s how fast it can charge: it can fully charge the Xiaomi 17 Pro in about 39 minutes and the Redmi K80 Pro in around 47 minutes.
| Port Type | Power Output | Example Devices |
|---|---|---|
| USB-C (Main) | 120W | Laptops, phones |
| USB-C (Secondary) | 45W | Tablets, phones |
| USB-A | 22.5W | Accessories, older phones |
Fast Charging Support
The PB2165 supports many fast-charging standards like PD3.0, QC3.0, QC3.5, PPS, SCP, FCP, AFC, and Apple 2.4A. That means it works with many brands, including Xiaomi, Redmi, Apple, Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo. You don’t need to worry about compatibility with your gadgets.
Fast Recharging
When it comes to charging itself, the PB2165 supports up to 90W input. It can charge up to 27% in just 15 minutes. For a full charge, it takes around 2 hours and 40 minutes when you use a 90W charger. That’s quite fast for such a large battery.
Design and Display
The PB2165 also has a built-in 6A braided USB-C cable, so you don’t need to carry an extra one. The cable fits into a groove that can also be used as a handle. It has a small color display that shows real-time details like charging status, battery level, and estimated completion time. It even shows which ports are active while charging.
Safety and Protection
Xiaomi has added nine layers of protection to keep your devices safe. It guards against overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent, overcharge, and short circuits. The smart system also adjusts the power based on the device you plug in. It works safely with smartphones, laptops, earbuds, and even smaller gadgets.
Build and Look
The power bank is compact, measuring 157.8mm long, 54mm wide, and 43.5mm high. It has a smooth matte metallic finish with curved edges, giving it a modern and stylish look. Despite its power, it’s still easy to carry in your bag.
Competitors
Other brands are also launching similar power banks. Baseus recently released a 100W 20,000mAh model with dual built-in cables. Anker also launched its 220W Prime power bank in Europe with three ports and a 20,100mAh battery. But Xiaomi’s PB2165 stands out with its strong 165W output and smart display at a lower price.
