Xiaomi has brought out a beautiful new battery with MagSafe charging – the Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W is only 6 mm thick and weighs 98 grams.
As you can tell from the highly descriptive name, this is a 5,000mAh power bank that can output up to 15W wirelessly using Qi2. It also has a USB-C port on the bottom – which is normally used to charge the battery, but can also be used to charge the phone faster as the wired connection goes up to 22.5W.
The battery is small but powerful enough to charge two devices at the same time – one wirelessly and one over the USB-C port (tap the power button to activate this mode).
It contains some asterisks. The Xiaomi 17 can be charged wirelessly at a full 15W. However, the 17 doesn’t have any magnets of its own, so you’ll need a magnetic case. Well, wireless charging will also work without magnets, but it is less convenient than magnetically attaching the battery to the phone. An iPhone will only be able to draw 7.5W of battery.
The battery measures 98.5 × 71.5 × 6 mm. This is a hair under the width of the Xiaomi 17 (71.8mm) and exactly the width of the iPhone 17. The battery also supports the Galaxy S25 (70.5mm but you’ll need a case, anyway) and the Pixel 10 (72.0mm).
The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank (MDY-20-EB) features an aluminum alloy shell that comes in three colors. The edge that attaches to the phone is made of fiberglass.
The actual battery inside is a silicon-carbon cell with 16% silicon content and is rated for 18.58Wh (normal capacity is 18.95Wh). There is also a 4,369mm² graphite sheet for cooling. Batteries have multiple protection mechanisms that protect against over- and under-voltage, overcharge and over-discharge, overcurrent, overheating, electrostatic shock, and more.
The Xiaomi UltraThin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W is already available in some markets: it is priced at AUD 69.50 in Australia, SGD 69.90 in Singapore, and JPY 5,980 in Japan. However, we do not find it on its west side.
