Xiaomi just launched the Redmi Note 2 in Malaysia last week but that doesn't stop them from show off more new gadgets.

While the new 20,000mAh Mi Power Bank is not specifically targeted for the Malaysian market for the time being, Xiaomi is claiming quite a lot with their largest power bank. With all that battery cells, Xiaomi claims that the new 20,000mAh Mi Power Bank is capable of charging the iPhone 6 upto 7 times, the Xiaomi Mi 4 for around 4.5 times and you can also expect to charge the 12" MacBook at least once provided you have a USB Type C connector in hand.

But the impressive 93% conversion rate and leading class circuit protection from Texas Instruments is nothing without the fast charging feature. Since, there is a 20,000mAh worth of cells in this power bank, Xiaomi has included a fast charging capability which will fully charge the power bank in about 5-6 hours which is twice as fast compared to previous Mi Power banks.

In terms of dimensions, the new 20,000mAh Mi Power Bank is actually lighter compared to the equivalent of two 10,000mAh Mi Power Bank at only 338g compared to 414g. Besides the quick recharge feature, there is also two USB ports which is capable of 5.1V/3.6A outputs to charge your smartphones / tablets / MacBooks. While this is not Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 but it discharges quicker than the conventional power bank.

One key difference between the new 20,000mAh Mi Power Bank compared to previous 16,000/10,000/5,000mAh Power Banks is that Xiaomi is introducing a new outer shell which is said to be more durable and easier to hold in the hand compared to the older aluminum design which is quite slippery. Xiaomi will start selling this new 20,000mAh Mi Power Bank in China on Wednesday for about 149 Yuan or about (MYR 104).
