Direct purchase made with Telecom.
Authenticity:
I performed the tests recommended by Xiaomi authenticity.
The video can be seen on youtube "How to Identify Fake Xiaomi Power Banks (English Subtitles)"
You can also see different points in French via video Minimachine.net "Xiaomi 10400 mAh Battery, an original model to 17.99"
Here are some things to check:
Visual checks:
- Packaging: Cardboard and not plastic
- USB Cable: No logo Xiaomi (therefore complies) - USB cable inside the well is black.
- USB charger to the battery: inside the USB and micro USB is white
- Registration 10 400 mAH: light gray, no burr
Technical tests:
- Short Circuit Test: Connect the USB cable directly to the battery (micro USB port and USB), the real will not load. A false start by loading autochargant.
- Automatic loading: Connect the battery directly on your smartphone / tablet. The loading must begin immediately.
With a false battery, it will press the "Power" button.
- Led Test: When charging, keep pressing the power button. The LEDs will turn off while you press and as soon as you release, the 4 LEDs light.
On a false battery, this will have no effect and the battery will continue charging as if nothing had happened.
There are still other tests if you wish but you will already have a good idea of the authenticity of your battery with those.
Verification by serial number:
You can finally go to the website of Xiaomi and check your serial number. However, the battery I received, the serial number is in Chinese character difficult to verify.
Product Reviews:
Xiaomi first product for one, very well finished and rather class with aluminum.
The supplied USB cable is short so easy to take anywhere. It is also the end which allows storing even more easily.
Nothing to say for now.
