is there any way of checking whether a xiaomi powerbank has been used before? these sellers selling it at 15bucks claim to be bnib but when i open 1 of them i saw some small scratches on the power bank and he claim that it was due to the usb cable 'rubbing' against it. bnib means never use before or even charged right? unfortunately xiaomi overpack box has no authentic seal to proof this,

my 10400 xiaomi came with a sticker film over the usb port/power button side that covers the entire upper edge like a 'seal'

Xiao Mi banks come about 50% charged - press the power button, 4 will light up but only 2 remains after 1-2s.

There are sealing stickers (white) across the usb/power button.

The box also has a auth code.

Hi, are there any pocket size powerbank that at least give 2 full charge to iphone 6 plus. And without cable to charge iphone 6 plus. Meaning the powerbank could just plug in at the bottom of 6 plus.

just buy la.

why u worried about the issues? The PB is protected with 6mths warranty. and its so affordable that even if it spoil after 6mths u are just paying like $3 every month.

but make sure u get it from mi.com instead of others as there are alot of fakes appearing around.

It's a powerbank, you can get the most flashy, most swee, most satki looking powerbank, protect it with a $50 sleeve, but 2 years down the road, when the internal cell degrades, it will go into the bin anyway, so what's up with 'silver color'?

Understand but it's so cheap. Even if spoilt I will just write it off and buy a new one.

u buy powerbank to charge ur devices or to show off the running lights of the powerbank?

makes no sense on ur post.

+ there isn't a need for u to go down service center just to get it, u can just purchase it at mi.com and it will deliver to u if u hit a certain sum.

PLUS u can buy those colourful silicon cover to protect the power bank.

i bought the MI 10400 because it seemed like a good deal for <$20
Just about to try it out for the first time but in all honesty i regretted it as soon as picked it up.

It's too heavy. I had a Samsung pack with around the same capacity that was much lighter.

NVM i'll see how it goes - it can always make a good XMAS present
