It's still no where near as portable as the 5000 mah. I really like how slim the 5000 model is and makes it easy to stick in an inside pocket in a jacket. Surprised they didn't stick in an extra USB out on the new large model to allow dual charging. Still its excellent value especially if the usual quality from Xiaomi. (Much better than buying via someone bulk ordering cheap gear on Ali and flogging via daily deal sites!).

For 3 times the price and saying it's because they're Irish/they're saving you the hassle... :rolleyes:

They are probably equal.

Sometimes the post can be quick, sometimes nearly 3 weeks..

But if you're referring to these, then for now anyway, I'd go with Allbuy.

If for no other reason than...........















Banggood have none in stock until the 21st of June..

Anyone that buy this able to track it? Purchases it about 10 days ago and if j try to track via the Allbuy app, I just get:

Carrier:Singapore Post
State:AttemptFail

And then it says there's no shipping information available. But Allbuy have said its been shipped. Tried on the Singapore Post website too, but to no avail!

I think the tracking option is only available if they use Sweden or Netherland post.
Or possibly if yoiu pay the €1 extra.
I paid the extra once, a day before another purchase, and the non-paid items arrived first.

My 5000mAh arrived two days ago, and 10,000mAh arrived today. All posted on the same day. LED lights for them arrived different days beginning last week.
Everything was ordered on the 4th of June, so 22 days for the final items.
Which is the longest i've waited since I have started using them.
Obviously Europe/holidays/popularity of website & items, should be taken into account.

That said, the 10,000mAh is well worth getting, very portable, and a lot smaller than the (what now seems) clunky 104000mAh.


(My items were no longer trackable from about a week - 10 days ago. In Netherlands station.)

Perfect, I'll just sit tight and hope for the best

My 100000 just arrived today, nice quality feel to it.

Instructions are all Chinese. Does it auto power off? When charging, if I left it connected to the phone all night, will it waste more of its power than if I switch it off once the phone gets to 100%?

The new model 10000 mah from xiaomi is much smaller than the older 10400 mah model, closer in size to the 5000 mah model.

Bangood have it on special, claiming 44% off. It's legit xiami gear.

I've ordered several without any issues nor have I read of any.
Like all Asian sellers make sure it states original xiaomi and not something like 'xiaomi style' in the product title.

Took delivery of an order from BG today which I placed on June 4th in case anyone is looking for an idea in shipping times.

Great stuff - will order now - thanks.

Ordered a 5000 & 10000 two weeks ago today and it just arrived, can't argue with those delivery times.

Thought the 5000 would be a bit smaller, very slim though. The 10000 is much smaller in length but maybe 3 times the width.

Both look fairly slick though and well made. Will report back when I've used them a few times.

an extra 10000mah arrived today...
Didn't ask for it, didn't pay for it.. :D

I haven't charged the 10000mAh, but the 10400mAh is long, I leave it in overnight. I'd imagine the 10000mAh is roughly the same.

zweton

how many devices will the 10400 charge? has it the potential to charge your iphone 2/3 times a day if needed?

10400mAh
2.5 Charges of the Mi 3/Asus Zenfone 2
4.5 Charges of the iPhone 5S
1.5 Charges of the iPad Mini

10000mAh

Is this the best one to buy at the moment? Or the 10400?

Yeah, that's the one. The 10400 is the older bulkier version.

Arrived this morning, which is exactly two weeks from postage date. Quicker than I expected. Just charging it now.

How long do these take to charge? Mine seemed to be half charged already, if I`m reading it right.

Had it on charge for about two and a half hours and three lights are lit up with the fourth one still flashing. I presume they should all be fully lit?

Yep, but it takes about 4.5 hours to charge mine fully with a standard (1.0A) charger. It doesn't seem to charge any quicker on my 2.1A charger.

But it holds the charge well and on a weekend away recently we charged two phones twice or three times each before it dropped to one LED.

Good discount on the XIAOMI battery pack at the minute, only $11.99, $10 off. Some other good deals there too at the minute. Haven't used them before but reviews in here sound good.

Can't post a link as I'm too new.

Weird. Initially shows at 11.99 then quickly changes to 16.99 ?

Saw it on offer last night for 11.99 but was only few hours remaining :-(

I've ordered two from allbuy
https://www.allbuy.com/detail/25023

First one (ordered about a 6 weeks ago) came from NL with tracked postage (included for free). Arrived in 3 days.

Just ordered another on Sunday. Got NL tracking number again. So would expect it in 3 days.

Just ordered two for 11.99 each, the gold and pink versions are more expensive.

That happened me too. Thought it might be because I'm out of Ireland. Different countries, different prices.

Credit card taking a serious beating last few weeks. I said 6 weeks of conservative living was on the cards. Didn't realise I needed 3 of these babies. Basically giving them away at that price.

Realised immediately that I absolutely had no need for these as I've never had one up to now and the world has not stopped turning, but sure what the hell, just could not resist ordering 3 of them. Basically giving them away at that price. And yes, I know full well that they'll end up in the man drawer within a week

FYP;)

Just copped the irony of your username too......

PowerToWait

Ah but you'd be unfairly assuming with your alternative. I've on more than 2 occasions in the past 3 months wished I had a power source for my dog and bone. One of these was a genuine on the side of a hill miles from basically everywhere bogged to the balls waiting 5 hours for a tow.

And they'll make good presents anyway. Don't be such a blanket. :P

Bought 3 meself:D

On a serious note, they are a great piece of kit, particularly at that price point.

On reading the thread I hadn't a clue what this was but in the spirit of loving s bargain, I just bought it
On the plus side I think OH will probably be delighted with it.

I ordered 3 of the power banks with the 3 LEDs on the 22 July. The LEDs arrived a week earlier than the power banks. The power banks arrived today, very happy with them.
