Editorial award
Assessed on our own initiative
The manufacturer was not involved in this assessment, was not contacted about it, and paid nothing for it. The European Product Evaluation Institute selected this product itself and assessed it against the published category benchmark using publicly documented evidence only.
The verdict
The Xiaomi 22.5W 10,000 mAh Powerbank with integrated cable scored 79 out of 100 against the Power Banks 5,000-30,000 mAh benchmark, well clear of the 70-point award threshold. The assessment starts from a base of 70 points and adds only what documented evidence supports: three bonus features worth 7 points in total, plus a 2-point bonus for its position within the price class. No deductions were applied at any stage.
All three mandatory criteria for the category are documented: a bidirectional USB-C port that both recharges the power bank and charges devices, CE conformity for EU distribution, and no active recall or official safety warning for the model. All three expectations of the budget class are met as well, namely 22.5 W fast charging on the main port, a four-step LED charge indicator, and more than the required two outputs.
The assessed unit is identified by MPN BHR9073GL and EAN 6941812797501 and was evaluated on 25 July 2026 under methodology version 2026.07-2. Documented evidence covered 82.9 percent of the benchmark criteria; the remainder could not be substantiated from published sources and therefore neither added nor removed points.
Why it won
Integrated USB-C cable
The power bank carries an integrated USB-C cable that works as an input for recharging the unit and as an output for devices, alongside the separate USB-A and USB-C ports. It is the highest-weighted bonus feature in this category at three points, confirmed by two independent sources.
22.5 W fast charging
Published output parameters state 22.5 W maximum, with the USB-C port rated at 10 V and 2.25 A. The budget class expects at least 18 W on the main port via USB-PD or Quick Charge, so the documented figure clears the expectation with margin. Four independent sources confirm the specification.
Itemised protection circuits
The datasheet lists protections individually instead of as a blanket claim: temperature, short circuit, reset, input overvoltage, input overcurrent, output overvoltage, output overcurrent, and overcharge and over-discharge protection. Itemised safety documentation is worth two bonus points because it can be checked rather than merely asserted.
Low-current charging mode
A double press of the battery-check button activates a low-current charging mode for small devices. The benchmark treats this as a bonus rather than an expectation, and it is documented by the manufacturer and confirmed by a second independent source, contributing two of the seven awarded bonus points.
Price and value
The verified reference price is €13.49, drawn from five European retail sources dated 25 July 2026 that range from €13.49 to €24.99. That places the product in the budget class of €0 to €30, where the benchmark expects at least 18 W fast charging, a four-step charge indicator and two outputs. All three are met, and the position within the class adds a two-point price bonus to the score.

What to consider
No negative characteristics were recorded and no class expectation went unverified. Two limits remain worth stating. The absence of a recall or safety warning is an assumed status based on a records search on the assessment date, not a positive certification, and documented evidence covered 82.9 percent of the benchmark criteria. The assessment does not cover long-term durability, service quality or subjective preference.
