You've got a power bank with you, but you left the cable at home and can't charge anything. Have you ever experienced that kind of despair? Xiaomi's power bank physically eliminates that tragedy. The USB-C cable is built directly into the body.
What looks like a strap is actually the charging cable. Just pull it out and plug it into your phone. The length is perfectly judged, optimized for holding your phone stacked on top of the power bank while charging. Throw out the assumption that "a power bank and its cable are something you carry as a set" — toss this single device into your pocket and you're done. Once you experience this kind of lightness, there's no going back.

The conventional wisdom used to be that cheap power banks charge slowly. Xiaomi is different. Despite the price point, it supports Power Delivery (PD) and Xiaomi's own fast-charging standard, pushing out up to 22.5W.
An iPhone 16 will recover to about 55–60% in 30 minutes. Android phones, if they support it, also charge at blazing speeds. This isn't just an "emergency backup" — it has the capability to serve as your "everyday main unit." On top of that, it can charge three devices simultaneously (built-in cable + USB-C port + USB-A port). It's a tiny hero that can rescue your friend's phone and earbuds at the same time.

When people think "power bank," they picture a "black, rectangular brick" — but Xiaomi doesn't cut corners on design either. The smooth, matte body resists fingerprints and feels great in the hand. And then there are the color options. Beyond the standard black and white, pastel shades like pale blue and purple are available.
Set it on a café table and it doesn't feel imposing; it doesn't clash with the rest of your pouch either. The design sense that elevates it from "something for gadget nerds" to a "fashion accessory" is exactly what you'd expect from a smartphone maker.

The pitfall of cheap power banks is the "can't charge wireless earbuds" problem. The power draw is so small that the battery mistakenly thinks "charging is complete" and cuts off the supply.
But this product comes with a "low-current mode" that you activate by pressing the power button twice. It can deliver a steady, weak current to Bluetooth earbuds and smartwatches (such as the Xiaomi Smart Band). It's a small detail, but whether or not this feature exists makes a world of difference in usability.
| Summary: When in doubt, buy this. There's no reason to pick anything else

The going price is somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 yen. During sales, it can drop even further. At this price, you get 10,000mAh of capacity, a built-in cable, 22.5W fast charging, and the reliability of a trusted manufacturer. Honestly, it's hard to find a reason to pick anything else.
Whether as your "just-in-case bag essential" or a "gift for a family member," the Xiaomi 22.5W Power Bank 10000 is the most cost-effective insurance policy supporting the lifeline of modern life. We strongly recommend grabbing one while stock lasts.
