This article will help you understand current prices, distinguish real accessory from fake, and choose the best deal.

Official prices for Xiaomi Power Bank in 2026
To begin with, Xiaomi does not sell its products directly, with authorized distributors setting official prices, including Mi Store Russia, Mijia and several major retailers in Russia, and the current prices for the most popular models (as of June 2026):
| Model | Capacity | Charging power | Price at Mi Store (RF), β½ | Price for Wildberries, β½ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 20000mAh | 20,000 mAh | 18 watts (Quick Charge 3.0) | 2 990 | 2 790 β 3 150 |
| Redmi Power Bank 10000mAh | 10,000 mAh | 18 W (USB-C) | 1 790 | 1 590 β 1 890 |
| Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3C 10000mAh | 10,000 mAh | 12 watts (Micro-USB) | 1 490 | 1 290 β 1 550 |
| Xiaomi Mi Ultra Compact Power Bank 10000mAh | 10,000 mAh | 12 W (USB-C) | 2 190 | 1 990 β 2 300 |
Note that Wildberries and Ozon may fluctuate because of the stock, but more than 20% of the official price is a reason to be wary. 10000mAh sell for 1,200 β½, It is almost certainly a fake or a βgreyβ import with a questionable warranty.
It is also important to note that the models with USB-C (For example, Redmi Power Bank. 10000mAh) Usually more expensive than analogues with Micro-USB by 200-300 β½, They also support two-way fast charging.
Why are Xiaomi Power Bank prices so different?
You might have noticed that the same model is different in different locations, so let's look at what it depends on.
- π¦ Type of delivery: Official distributors (Mi Store) sell devices with Russian warranty and certificates. "Gray" import (with Aliexpress) is cheaper, but without warranty service.
- π Generation Model: Mi Power Bank 3 (2021) is cheaper than Mi Power Bank 4 Pro (2023), although capacity may be the same.
- π Type of connectors: Models with USB-C Support for Power Delivery (PD) 15-25% more expensive due to more complex electronics.
- π Package: Some vendors save on cable or packaging, which reduces the price. The original always comes with a branded box and documentation.
Another important point is that Xiaomi periodically updates the Power Bank line, but the old models are not removed from production. For example, the Mi Power Bank 2S (2019) still sells cheaper than new versions, although in terms of characteristics inferior to them.
If you are offered the "newest model" at a bargain price, check its availability on the official website of Xiaomi.

Before buying, check the serial number on the package through the Mi Verify service β this will help to avoid counterfeiting.
Where to buy Xiaomi Power Bank cheaper?
We analyzed the prices on 5 popular sites and found out where it is more profitable to buy original devices:
- π¬ Mi Store (official store): 12 months warranty, but prices are 10-15% higher than marketplaces.
- π Wildberries / Ozon: There are often discounts of up to 20%, but you need to check the reviews about the seller".
- π Aliexpress: You can find it cheaper by 30-40%, but you risk running into a fake or a device without certification.
- π’ Local electronics stores (for example, "Svyaznoy", "M.Video"): Prices are close to the Mi Store, but sometimes there are bonus programs.
Our verdict: Wildberries is the best option in terms of price and reliability, and if you want to save money, but are willing to wait, order Aliexpress from trusted sellers (for example, Mi Global Store or Xiaomi Official Flagship Store).

Never buy Xiaomi Power Bank from sellers without reviews or with a rating below 95%. counterfeits not only hold the charge worse, but can also be dangerous (overheating, battery bloating).
