Converting solar rays in electricity is
already a thing, however, when will the smartphones start to benefit from this
technology? Xiaomi’s answer is right now. The company has just launched a new
solar power bank on the Chinese Youpin platform. Xiaomi YEUX solar mobile power
bank is the best power bank for long outdoor travel scenarios where there is no
electricity. You can benefit from it during cycling, mountaineering, and
camping. We can say that it isn’t an expensive solution if you take in consideration
how free you are with this power bank. Xiaomi is asking just CNY 349 (US$ 49).
Xiaomi YEUX solar mobile power bank makes
use of high-sensitivity, high-conversion, single-crystal silicon solar panels.
The conversion rate is improved if you compare it with traditional solar
panels. The panel can even be recharged on rainy days. To improve the usability
of this power back, you can fit the charging panel on a backpack to charge
while on the move. The board adopts solar chip technology to automatically detect
the intensity of sunlight and match the optimal power supply scheme for the
load. The gree light will indicate better sunlight, the yellow indicates
average and the red light indicates weaker sunlight.
Now the most important characteristic of
this power bank – the capacity. The solar charger packs a built-in 6,400mAh
battery. Interestingly enough, it also supports standard charging via
electricity. You can use the solar light to keep it charged, but nothing will
prevent you from using a regular power source when it is available. The charger
has a three-output interface design, two USB-A interfaces with 5V/3A each, and
a Type-C interface with a maximum output of 5V/3A. It can charge smartphones,
tablets, cameras, other power banks, and other devices supporting the already
referred connectors. Last but not least, it also sports a micro-USB interface
with a maximum input of 5V/2A. Even your old gadgets can enjoy this power bank.
Last but not least, the power bank is
protected by encrypted Oxford cloth ensuring resistance and durability.
Moreover, there is a PU coating to ensure it is waterproof and doesn’t smell
over time. Considering all the features and benefits, we can understand how
this is an affordable product. We hope, that Xiaomi doesn’t keep this power
bank exclusive for the Chinese market.
