Introduction
Xiaomi has recently launched a new 25000mAh capacity power bank, model P03MI, with an impressive 212W total output power. It features a 2C1A interface configuration, with both USB-C ports supporting input and output. The USB-C1 port supports 100W charging input and 140W output, while the USB-C2 port supports 45W input/output, and the USB-A port supports Xiaomi's proprietary 120W fast charging protocol.

The device includes a color LCD screen that displays battery percentage, remaining mAh, and output mAh, along with protocol display functionality. The charging UI features a green interface, while the discharging UI is yellow for easy status identification. The power bank uses a plastic shell with transparent plastic covers on three sides, with an exploration-style decorative panel below the front screen, creating a strong cyberpunk aesthetic.
Unboxing
The Xiaomi 212W HyperCharge Power Bank 25000mAh packaging maintains Xiaomi's typical minimalist style, with a white background featuring the product name at the top, a thumbnail image of the power bank, and "90.8Wh capacity" and "Airline Safe" text below.

The package includes:
- Power bank unit
- USB-C to USB-C charging cable
- User manual
- Warranty card
The included USB-C to USB-C cable features textured ends for easy grip and anti-bend strain relief. Testing with ChargerLAB POWER-Z KM003C shows the cable has an E-Marker chip with 20V/5A power transmission capability and measures approximately 101.5cm in length.
Appearance
The Xiaomi power bank features a rectangular design with transparent decorative panels on three sides giving it a distinctive tech-forward appearance. The edges are crisp yet comfortable to hold thanks to rounded corners.

The front panel houses an LCD screen at the top, a function button, and a decorative panel in the middle, with "25000" marked at the bottom to indicate capacity.
The LCD screen can display:
- Current remaining power
- Supported fast charging protocols
- Charging status with percentage, remaining charge time, and mAh
- Discharge status with remaining power, mAh, and output speed
The yellow button serves as both power on/off and page switching control.
The sides use hex screws for assembly, and product information is printed on both sides and the back. The device measures approximately 159.8mm × 55.3mm × 55.3mm and weighs around 627.3g.

The top features three USB ports (2C1A) with clear markings for input/output capabilities. The USB-C1 port is marked with "140W MAX" while the USB-A port shows "120W MAX" output power.

Product Testing
Charging Compatibility Testing
Testing with various devices revealed impressive compatibility:
Port | Device | Voltage (V) | Current (A) | Power (W) |
---|---|---|---|---|
USB-C1 | MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max | 27.73 | 4.76 | 132.07 |
Legion Go | 19.48 | 4.55 | 88.69 | |
Redmi K60 Ultimate Edition | 16.51 | 5.14 | 84.81 | |
USB-C2 | MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max | 19.89 | 2.18 | 43.40 |

Legion Go | 19.85 | 2.16 | 42.89 | |
USB-A | Redmi K60 Ultimate Edition | 18.14 | 5.30 | 96.17 |
Most smartphones negotiated 9V output, while PPS-compatible phones reached 18V for higher charging power. Tablets and laptops typically negotiated 15V or 20V.

Multi-port Output Testing
When using multiple ports simultaneously:
- C1 + C2 ports charged a laptop and phone at 43.39W and 84.25W respectively
- Using all three ports simultaneously delivered 60.6W, 22.1W, and 85.36W
Charge-while-Discharge Testing
The power bank supports charge-while-discharge functionality:
- When C1 port received 42.99W input, C2 output provided 60.44W and A output delivered 85.15W
Full Charging Test
Using a 140W Cuktech charger to fully charge the power bank:
- Initial negotiation at 20V with power increasing to 85W for the first 13 minutes
- Power then dropped to around 40W until 1 hour 35 minutes
- Power gradually decreased until fully charged
- Total charging time: 2 hours 50 minutes
- 50% charge: 53 minutes
- 80% charge: 1 hour 33 minutes
Output Efficiency
The power bank was tested at different output levels to measure efficiency:
Output Level | Actual Output | Battery Capacity | Efficiency |

Load ripple:
- Lowest ripple: 15V/3A (30.4mVp-p)
- Highest ripple: 28V/5A (38.4mVp-p)
Temperature Testing
Under 140W (28V/5A) continuous output for 9 minutes:
