ya i know there is some cases reported in China but its very rare to happen in malaysia
what i m thinking now is the performance. can it charge normally?
because if the price is rm60++ for 20,000mah, but it can charge iphone 6-7 times, it actually equivalent to original 13,000mah which cost u RM100++

are u getting a deal from some group buy site? if yes, avoid it at any cost...

i have a friend buy one unit with huge mAH... buy back fully charge, then discharge it and can't charge back anymore... call back dealer and said warranty only 1mth... then i open the powerbank casing and look inside... all those ciplak china rechargeable AA battery pack in a box only...

don't say it can be used or not first, i consider on the safety first... shakehead.gif

extra info, i read up somewhere in fb... powerbank exploded when put in a car under the sun .. LOL ..

just want to ask you guys about the mi powerbank 10400mAH...
i found it charge quite slow with the iphone charger, is it normal?

here is a routine:

1) Yoobao charger - charge from 1st light blinking from 8.45am - 12.30pm, still 1st light blinking, guess the charger not enough power

2) switch to iPhone original charger from 12.30pm - 7pm, it's 4th light blinking but due to i need to leave office and i off it.

3) today morning 8.45am - 9.15am, 4th light stop blinking... so it's fully charge.

Wow, really takes so long? i have heard from my friends and colleagues saying that using samsung/ipad charger will get it charge faster...

btw, i assume my powerbank is genuine cos i bought it from Mi Online Store website...

If not mistaken, xiaomi powerbank input is 2A. iPhone adapters can only provide 1A, so the powerbank will be charging slowly.
iPad adapters (excluding the iPad mini 1 adapter) can provide up to 2.4A so it will charge the xiaomi powerbank optimumly at 2A, which means it will charge the powerbank faster

appreciate for your precious input brows.gif
any third party charger which provide 2A recommend?

i use iPad charger but make sure you use back the usb cable provided.

i tried using samsung's usb cable... took 24 hours to fully charge. then i use back the provided cable. much, much faster.

or you can go for those samsung 2A chargers. just avoid unbranded ones.
