Difference between the Original and Copy Version of the Xiaomi 2c 20,000mah power bank based on test carried out by me.

So on Friday, I finally laid my hands on the copy version of xiaomi 2c 20,000mah power bank which a Chinese supplier sent to me instead of the original.

Result of the test carried out.

The first difference you would notice is the verification label and code on the package. On the original power bank, the website for verification is chaxun.mi.com. This link takes you to the official xiaomi website for verification, website is secure.
On the copy brand however, you get a label also but the website for verification is chaxunmi.cn. This address takes you to a clone xiaomi website that is not secure.


On the content of the package, the USB cable that comes in both package look similar but the one in the original one looks more flexible and slightly lighter while the one in the copy brand feels rigid.

On the power bank itself, the original is slightly heavier and more compact than the copy version. The copy brand has this slightly hollow feel to it when you tap it with your finger.

On the USB interface on the power bank, the original is white in color with mi logo created very tiny inside. You have to look well to see it. On the copy brand, the usb interface is dark in color without mi logo there.

On the power indicator light, the original looks cool and friendly to the eyes but on the copy brand, the light looks so sharp and not so friendly to the eyes. In fact, this is a major difference one would notice.

Out of the box, the original power bank usually comes with just one light of power (charge) while the copy brand comes with full 4 power charge.

Both the original and the copy brand have QC 3.0 output and input charge, meaning they both charge fast.
However, for one weird reason, when I tried the copy brand on the mi max 3, it refused to show the fast charging screen indicator even when it was obvious that the phone was charging very rapidly. I got the max 3 battery from 48% to 82 percent in around 1 hour. Personally, I am tempted to think that the copy brand even charges faster than the original lol, maybe same speed but certainly, the copy doesn't charge less fast.
I am suspecting that the copy brand might have pump express capability also. This is not verified though.

In terms of LED indicator accuracy, I think that the copy brand is less accurate. The main strength lies in the 4 full lights on. It takes a very long time to drop one light but once that happens, it doesn't take too long to get to empty charge. Same also applies when charging the power bank.
The original one however is perfectly accurate in indication both for charging and discharging.


When using the power bank to charge, the light indicator of both the original and the copy brand are different… The original one charges with all the lights that show battery status blinking at the same time. On the copy brand, the light indicators don't blink. They just stay stable. When charging the power bank however, both original and copy have similar light display behavior.

I used the copy brand to charge my redmi note 5 and it charged it full with the 4 light indicators still there without any dropping. Also used it to charge max 3 from 48 percent to 82 percent before it died. Note however, that I didn't use the copy power bank fully charged. I was still charging it yesterday when I had to turn off my generator midnight, also, it was the same power bank that I used to run my USB fan for 7 hours till day break. It was this morning that I used it for this test after it had served my USB fan.


On the whole, I am pleased with the copy brand in that it has QC 3.0 but I feel it might not hold up to 20,000mah battery inside. This I have not verified.

VERDICT
Overall, I think the copy brand doesn't perform as well as the original especially in power retention. I might be wrong though.
However, I believe you get value for what you pay if you buy it from 6 thousand naira and below.

fantilopezzy:

so I used the USB fan through the night. Believe it or not, I woke up feeling cold and had to turn it off. It drizzled over the night though.

fantilopezzy:

I get for 9500 or 6500. Check my ads on the ads thread.

fantilopezzy:
how much is the xiaomi fan bro

just over 1k on aliexpress.

fibonacci2526:
Found so many cheaper ones sef

Just avoid buying the generic one. Some sellers advertise xiaomi but will end up shipping the generic. I have had the experience with usb lamp.

Some sellers will advertise the generic but will then state ' for xiaomi mi power bank' etc on the description just to confuse buyers.

dcolumbus001:
thanks.... the 20000mah go for how much?

9500 for the original.

I have a high copy version of the 2c also @6500. Currently testing that one to see how it performs against the original one. I will post my findings tomorrow.

dcolumbus001:
must be use with a pbank and power bank ?

yes. It doesn't have batteries.

BoboKush:
Is it blowing air like that

Trust me, it does. Just that since they said in the north, air is hot, the air it blows might be hot too, but in terms of fanning, it really blows. It's just the face and neck that need air. Once those areas are getting the fan, one won't sweat on other areas of the body.

Hell is a bike ride for some places in the North here like Katsina, Sokoto, Bida, Gwagwalada etc.

Chai. The worst part is that the hot condition will not subside until around June, according to NIMET

fibonacci2526:

https://m.gearbest.com/cables-adapter/pp_185399.html?wid=1112942

Seems like they are out of stock but the last they sold was almost 6 dollars.

BoboKush:
Come n dash me the unused one

lol. Wanna send it to my mom in the north. They said that place is like hell.

fibonacci2526:
E gole?

Been like 2 years I bought them from gearbest. Can't remember how much. I bought 2 pcs each of the xiaomi own and generic. The xiaomi own was slightly more expensive though. Maybe around 4 dollars. I didn't see the need to use them all the while until this period. The 2 generic have packed up but the 2 xiaomi are still working. One is still inside the pack sef, unused.

nabeans:
Sorry guys, just couldn't help posting this... Been waiting so long..... Na tomorrow or next.. depending

which one be this?

In this terribly hot period, it's this tiny little piece of 'toy'ish xiaomi usb fan that keeps me from going gaga because of the heat. This thing looks small but the kind of breeze it generates is unbelievable. All I do is to turn it on and position to be fanning my face. With that, I don't feel hot.

I had previously bought some generic ones but I noticed that their motors go bad after a few days of usage but this xiaomi fan has been serving me for like 2 months now. There was a day I even used it through the night, mistakenly left it on and went to work. I came back 8pm to see that it was still working. That's like 24 hours of non stop working. When plugged to a fully charged xiaomi 2c 20,000mah power bank, one can get like 6 nights of fanning.

The other fan in pix 2, I bought it off jumia for 3k plus last month, the stuff worked for like one week and the motor died. Sadly I already trashed the packaging, would have requested for a refund.

busuyi44:
Can Nipost EMS Speed post be tracked?

EMS will cost almost 20k to send to China. It can be tracked.

gideon243:

fibonacci2526:
Pretty sure they can't sell the 4/128gb for 75k in nigeria. Damn sure.

in this era of CHANGE, anything is possible na.

gidieberry:
See awoof.. 4gb/128gb rom from Tonke store

The price is not 190 dollars. It's 206 for the lowest one. You selected the 4/64 which is 190 dollars. Select the 128gb option and the price changes.

Airtel has become MTN, reducing their Night plan without prior notice.

R.I.P Night Plan. 2016-2019

I woke up this morning to discover that they have wiped off all my bonus airtime of over 8k. Something I activated yesterday.

They even wiped off my 5x call subscription and bonus airtime for data.

busuyi44:
Macbeyland did you answer all these questions correctly?

I answered almost all correctly. Some I gave answers close to the actual answer. Eg, I can't remember when I bought my line but I know it was before 2010

busuyi44:

Yes I did. Only but a few.
