The Xiaomi Powerbank 10000 33W is a new power bank that Xiaomi has released in China. But in contrast to what its name implies, it is not truly capable of holding 10,000mAh. Rather, it’s a 5,500mAh power bank that supports 33W charging. It appears that Xiaomi is titling their latest power banks with attention-grabbing titles.
They introduced the Power Bank 25000 212W earlier this week. And what do you know? It also carried a very modest 14,000mAh cell, not the implied capacity suggested by its moniker. Xiaomi must quit acting in this manner!

Nevertheless, the integrated cable is the new power bank’s standout feature. It doubles as a lanyard when not in use by tucked neatly into a designated slot on the power bank. It’s a rather creative way to save space, ideal for people who always lose their cords. Nevertheless, because the cable is integrated, it cannot be changed. You’re pretty much screwed if it frays or breaks.
With a maximum output of 22.5 W and support for clever power distribution, while juggling numerous devices, Xiaomi does provide a third standard USB-C connector for additional charging alternatives. But, you will only have access to this one USB-C port for charging if the primary port malfunctions.

Furthermore, it’s unclear if users can charge the power bank using a different USB-C connector. Should you be unable to do so and the primary USB-C cable breaks, the power bank can end up being useless. It comes as no surprise that its maximum charging rate is 33W, allowing a Xiaomi 14 Pro to be fully charged to 51% in 30 minutes.
For good measure, Xiaomi also includes support for popular fast charging protocols including PD 3.0 and QC 3.0, as well as a low current mode for charging low-power devices. The design is lightweight and small, measuring only 3.2 x 2.6 x 1.0 inches, making it suitable for a pocket.
To fit your style, you can go with a more subdued Light Brown or a sleek Deep Space Blue. In terms of cost, the Xiaomi Powerbank 10000 33W is presently offered at a 20 yuan (~$2) reduction from its regular price of 149 yuan (~$21) in China. It is available for purchase on the Xiaomi Youpin platform.
