Millet mobile power 2
The millet mobile power supply 2 is equipped with a lithium polymer battery with a power of 10000mAh and a constant voltage of 3.85V. The input and output support QC 2.0 fast charging technology. The output supports 5V 2A or 9V/12V 18W specifications, and the rated output specification is 5V. 2.4A or 9V/12V 15W.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi Mobile Power 2 supports a small current output mode, which can be turned on by double-clicking the independent switch. This function is mainly used to charge devices such as Bluetooth headsets or smart bracelets. Since the charging current of such devices is only a few tens of milliamps, the ordinary mobile power supply is likely to determine that the device is fully charged and cut off the output. The Xiaomi mobile power supply will maintain the output within 2 hours after the low current output mode is enabled. Even if the output current is as low as several milliamps, it will not automatically turn off, thus realizing the function of charging Bluetooth headsets, smart bracelets and other devices.
The input interface of Xiaomi Mobile Power 2 is a common Micro USB interface, and the output interface is a standard USB interface. There are 4 white LED lights on the side for power display and independent switches.

Millet mobile power 2 charging test
Xiaomi Mobile Power 2 supports the QC 2.0 protocol and can be charged with input 5V 2A or 9V/12V 18W. Since it does not have a standard charger, we used two different charging heads in the charging test, namely the purple meter AP511 (5V/2A) and the Meizu UP0830 (5V/3A, 8V/3A, 12V/2A). Among them, Meizu UP0830 can support QC 2.0 protocol.
Charging with the purple rice AP511 (5V/2A) charging head, the charging voltage can reach 5.26V, the charging time is close to 6 hours, the charging current can exceed 2.0A, but the current is unstable during charging, there is obvious fluctuation, charging is completed After that, there will still be a current input of about 30 mA.
Charging with Meizu UP0830 (5V/3A, 8V/3A, 12V/2A), the charging voltage is 9.04V, the charging time is about 3 hours and 55 minutes, the time is obviously shortened compared with the conventional 5V charging, and the charging current can exceed 2.0A, but there is a significant fluctuation in current during charging, and there will still be a current input of about 30mA after completion.
Comments and purchase suggestions: two-way fast charge, ripple performance is good, 79 yuan is worth buying
From the appearance and workmanship, Xiaomi mobile power supply 2 is quite good, the edge of the metal casing has a good grinding process, the size and weight are moderate, and it has good portability. It is also equipped with independent switch and power indicator. It is also convenient.
In terms of performance, Xiaomi Mobile Power 2 supports QC 2.0 input and output, the protection function is relatively complete, the discharge current is sufficient and stable, the conversion efficiency exceeds 85%, and the output ripple is also up to standard and performs well. However, this mobile power supply has a large fluctuation in current when charging input, and since it only supports the QC 2.0 protocol, it does not make much sense for devices that use PE fast charging.
At present, there are two most direct competitors of Xiaomi Mobile Power 2. One of them is the high-grade version of Xiaomi mobile power with Texas Instruments. It is equipped with USB type-c interface, and the rated output power is higher at 18W, but its price is also To be higher is 149 yuan. In contrast, the rated output power of Xiaomi Mobile Power 2 is 15W lower than the former, and there is no USB type-c interface, but it does not have a significant impact on daily use. It can be said that the price is 79 yuan. Full of sincerity.
Compared with the purple rice QB810 two-way fast charging mobile power supply, Xiaomi mobile power supply 2 adopts the same scheme as the other party. The two can be said to be the brothers of the same mother. The main difference is that the purple rice QB810 is made of plastic shell and configured. There is USB type-c input interface and fast charge indicator light, the price is 99 yuan, and Xiaomi mobile uses a metal shell, the appearance of the texture is better, but the USB Type-C interface and fast charge indicator light are streamlined, the price is also 20 yuan cheaper Both can be said to have their own advantages, and the cost performance is relatively high.
Therefore, in terms of various factors, for most users who use the iPhone or support QC 2.0 fast charging devices, Xiaomi Mobile Power 2 will be a product worth buying.
