The Xiaomi MDY-20-EB, known as the Xiaomi Ultra Thin Magnetic Power Bank 5000 15W, is an ultra-thin, magnetically attaching power bank with 5000mAh capacity and up to 15W wireless charging. It measures 98.5mm tall, 71.5mm wide, and only 6mm thick, weighing 98g. It features an anodized aluminum body, soft-touch plastic underside, USB-C port for input/output, four LED status indicators, and comes in Radiant Orange, Glacier Silver, and Graphite Black.

Despite its 5000mAh rating at 3.79V (18.95Wh), effective output is ~3000mAh at 5V. Wireless charging peaks at 15W but only for Xiaomi 17 series phones; all other devices are limited to 7.5W due to lack of MagSafe or Qi certification. Wired charging via USB-C delivers up to 22.5W, and simultaneous wired/wireless charging yields up to 7.5W from USB and 5W wireless.

Priced at INR 5,999 in India, it costs more than the 10000 45W (INR 3,999) and 20000 165W (INR 5,499) models, reflecting a premium for size and convenience. Performance testing with iPhone 15 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro confirmed wireless charging limits, highlighting that the 15W capability is not universally accessible. The product’s value hinges on whether users prioritize thinness and magnetic attachment over broader compatibility and faster charging speeds available in competing models.
