Introducing Xiaomi’s UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W
Xiaomi has launched a remarkably slim and lightweight power bank, the UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W, designed to offer convenient wireless charging on the go. Measuring just 6mm in thickness and weighing only 98 grams, this compact accessory supports Qi2 wireless charging with a magnetic attachment, making it a practical companion for compatible smartphones. Despite its petite size, the power bank packs a 5,000mAh capacity, capable of delivering up to 15W wirelessly.
Key Features and Charging Capabilities
Alongside wireless charging, the power bank includes a USB-C port primarily intended for recharging the device itself, but it can also be used to charge phones via a wired connection at speeds reaching 22.5W. Notably, the UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank can charge two devices simultaneously—one wirelessly and one wired—activated by pressing the power button. This dual charging capability enhances its versatility for users with multiple devices.
While the power bank supports 15W wireless charging for devices like the Xiaomi 17, it requires a magnetic case since the Xiaomi 17 lacks built-in magnets. Wireless charging without magnets remains possible but less convenient due to the absence of a magnetic attachment. For iPhones, the wireless output is limited to 7.5W. The dimensions of the power bank—98.5 × 71.5 × 6mm—are closely matched to popular smartphone widths, including the Xiaomi 17 and iPhone 17, ensuring a snug fit. It also supports other models such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Google Pixel 10, although a case might be needed for magnetic alignment.
Design and Build Quality
The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank features an aluminium alloy shell available in three colours, providing a premium look and feel. The side that attaches to the phone is crafted from fiberglass for durability and effective magnetic adhesion. Internally, it houses a Silicon-Carbon battery cell with 16% silicon content, rated at 18.58Wh (typical capacity 18.95Wh). To manage heat efficiently, the device incorporates a sizeable graphite sheet measuring 4,369mm². Additionally, the power bank is equipped with multiple safety protections, guarding against over-voltage, under-voltage, overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, overheating, and electrostatic shocks.
Availability and Pricing
The UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W is currently available in select markets, including Australia, Singapore, and Japan, priced at AUD 69.50, SGD 69.90, and JPY 5,980 respectively. However, it has not yet been spotted in Western markets. This launch reflects Xiaomi’s continued efforts to offer sleek, high-performance accessories that complement its smartphone ecosystem and appeal to a broader range of users.
For those interested in the latest Xiaomi accessories, this power bank represents a blend of portability, style, and functionality, particularly for users of Xiaomi’s own devices and other popular smartphones.
As wireless charging technology evolves, it will be interesting to see how Xiaomi and other manufacturers enhance the convenience and efficiency of portable power solutions. Keep an eye out for potential wider releases and further innovations in this space.
