Xiaomi introduces two new 20,000 mAh power banks featuring integrated cables, rapid charging options up to 67 W, and a heightened focus on safety and diagnostics, signalling a shift shaped by upcoming Chinese regulations.
Xiaomi has introduced two new 20,000 mAh power banks built around the company’s latest integrated-cable design, with output options of 45 W and 67 W. According to Canaltech, both models have been developed to align with new Chinese safety standards for portable batteries that are due to take effect in 2026, a sign that the product line is being shaped as much by regulation as by charging performance.
The two versions share a similar hardware layout: each includes a built-in USB-C cable, a separate USB-C port and a USB-A port. The cable is made from TPU and tucks into a side compartment that also doubles as a carry handle. Both devices are offered in light blue and light brown, but the 67 W model adds a lateral digital display showing remaining charge and charging status. The 45 W version relies instead on conventional light indicators.
Charging support is broad for both units. Canaltech said the USB-A port can deliver up to 22.5 W, while the power banks also support USB Power Delivery 3.0, PPS and Quick Charge 3.0. When more than one device is connected at the same time, total output is capped at 15 W across all ports. A low-current mode is included for devices such as wireless earbuds and smartwatches, which typically need gentler charging than a phone or laptop.
Safety is a major part of Xiaomi’s pitch. The company says the new power banks include 16 hardware protection features, with internal cells tested against high compression and exposure to temperatures of up to 135C for one hour. Xiaomi also says the battery-management system can report battery health, charge cycles, temperature and error logs through the USB-C connection. That level of monitoring is unusual in this price range and points to a stronger focus on diagnostics as well as protection.
For travellers, the rated energy figures are important. Canaltech reported that the 45 W unit is rated at 74 Wh, while the 67 W model is listed at 74.37 Wh. Both sit below the 100 Wh threshold used by many airlines, which generally makes them suitable for carry-on luggage, although airline rules still vary. For now, the new power banks have only been announced for China and are already listed on Xiaomi Youpin. The 45 W model costs 229 yuan, while the 67 W version is priced at 269 yuan.
