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.

What i can't wait for is to see if the Mi Store is gonna open with Redmi Note 7, and to see if the price is gonna be reasonable. If not Xiaomi just shot themselves in the leg

You can argue with yourself till eternity. I no send you.
A little search on google could have saved you from embarrassing yourself.

Almost same but 3 topping up or recharging is faster than 2c, like 4hrs via type C input. No other advantage. Talking from experience.

neuroleptics aren't by recommendations. Specific complaints and positive /negative symptoms determine what drugs are most suitable for what case.

Also, a GP is highly limited in helping. Kindly see a psychiatrist for the most suitable prescription.

Kenny903:


So the 2c can charge a USC type C phone like note 7 then? Only advantage is it can be charged through the type c port?

I'll just buy the type 2C then

How about opening a dispute, returning it, or you already knew before hand?

I had been using Romoss sense 6p to charge my Redmi 5 plus for the past 10 months. No damage to phone battery and the powerbank still serving me well.
