Hello all!

I hava a xiaomi (redmi note pro 9) and its battery seems to start to flake out a bit, or I’m using it more or why not both?

So from time to time, like now, I’m at 19% but it’s 22:36 and it will most probably be OK, but if I want some more time before bedtime I tried to hook up my old 5Ah (or as they cleverly say 5000mAh) powerbank to charge up a bit during important scrolling and film viewing.

It works, but almost by just slowing down the deteriorating of the charge level…

Is there some small battery packs that can actually deliver, and also allow that delivery to said phone (I have a couple of wall chargers, usb cables that interdicts the real fast charge)?

I have only found big powerbanks that seems to deliver.

Thank you all!

PS. Like a smaller one than the 5Ah one ❤️

    Have you looked at Xiaomi’s own offerings?—they do have “compact” power banks. Not sure if those are compact enough for you though.

    I haven’t seen much 18W charging from the smaller banks, but I use this one, and find it pretty convenient: https://www.eldirekte.no/deltaco-powerbank-18w-hurtiglading-20000mah/cat-p/c/p1001029953 (couldn’t find a link in english, sorry. Google translate is your friend)

    My employer bought a bunch of them to hand out to everyone. I believe it’s the largest battery allowed on planes, and as we’re often in transit it comes in really handy. The formfactor is small enough to fit 8n my pocket.

        You’ll want to be careful with that one’s USB c port. It’ll be pretty fragile and you might want to look into whether it can be used from that port on its side. I had a similar design for a phone 10 years ago and it became useless when its plug thingy stopped working.

    Go to wherever you prefer to buy these things and look for one with a higher output wattage, at least 18W for fast charging but you probably won’t find much more than that in such a small battery.

      Well that’s what I’m not finding, they are either slow/crappy or too big :-/

      Like for example a package with a good (3Ah) 18650 cell but with a c value of like 2 or something like that is what I’d like to lay my hands on.

      Small with fast charge, no need for it to reload my phone completely at all.

        I can’t personally recommend any of these, but I found some from sharge (they also have other models of a similar size), hoco, and veger.

          Hey thank you, looks like they are small, especially the last one (<100grams) :-) and fast charging!

          Time to go hunting, the Veger is sold out but I guess that wont be hard to find elsewhere. 👍
