Top.-5 Mistakes in the purchase of Xiaomi Power Bank
Even experienced users sometimes make mistakes when choosing an external battery.
⚠️ Note: If you see Power Bank Xiaomi 20,000 mAh cheaper than 2,500 ₽ — It's almost certainly a fake. Original models can't be that cheap because of the high cost of the batteries.

- Savings on adapter: Using a weak charger (like an old smartphone) can overheat the Power Bank.
To avoid these errors, always check reviews on independent sites (such as Yandex.Market or 4PDA) and watch YouTube reviews. For example, TechMo regularly tests Power Bank for real-world capacity and charging speed.
