If there is something that we do not miss in previous mobile phones, it is the exclusive chargers for each model. The arrival of USB-C allows us to charge all our devices with the same cable and charger, and thanks to the European USB-C law, even laptops and video game consoles are charged with this standard. The new external batteries also mainly use USB-C.
However, this does not mean that everything will be enough to charge your devices. Many external batteries, for example, are underpowered and focus only on capacity; but these are only useful for slowly charging mobile phones, and let’s not talk about laptops.
Xiaomi has just presented the solution, with its new 165W power bank one of the most powerful we have seen so far. With this battery it is possible to enjoy the fast charging of modern mobile phones, in addition to charging devices that require more power such as laptops and consoles.
With a capacity of 10,000 mAh, with this external battery we will not run out of “juice” either and we should be able to use our devices for several daysSpecifically, the company promises that its new Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 can be charged from 0% to 100% approximately 1.41 times with this battery, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, 1.75 times, and the Xiaomi 14 Pro, 1.8 times.
A striking detail of this power bank is that has an integrated cableinstead of having to connect a separate cable; Fortunately, we also have a separate USB-C port, where we can connect a cable and charge another device at the same time.

However, it is important to emphasize that the power of this charger can only be used with the integrated cable; Concretely, this cable is capable of offering a maximum power of 120 W, while the USB-C port reaches a maximum of 45 W.
This power bank is compatible with the main fast charging technologies on the market, such as PD 3.0, QC 3.0, PPS and Apple 2.4. This means that it is able to charge the Xiaomi 14 Pro to 100% in just 18 minutes, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max can reach 56% in 30 minutes. As we have already said, it is capable of charging laptops, and the company claims that it only takes 30 minutes to charge the Apple MacBook Pro 14 to 23% and the Redmi Book to 28%.

The power bank itself can also be charged quickly, thanks to its 90W input that allows it to charge up to 55% in just 15 minutes. At any time, we can know the charge level thanks to the integrated screenwhich will also indicate the charging speed when we connect a device.
Xiaomi’s new 165W power bank is available in China for 199 yuan, or about 25 dollars in exchange; At the moment it has not been confirmed whether it will arrive in Europe, although it should soon start appearing in import stores.
