Xiaomi set to debut a 27-inch 165 Hz monitor alongside a 30,000 mAh power bank

Following the launch of the Mi Band 4 earlier today, Xiaomi is expected to unveil two other products soon. The first will be a 165 Hz gaming monitor, while the second will be the Mi Power Bank 3, a 30,000 mAh behemoth that succeeds the Mi Power Bank 2i.

Finally a power bank from a major brand that's not allowed on planes.

Finally a power bank from a major brand that's not allowed on planes.

Maybe, depends on the pack voltage. They could be using 3,2V and be within the 100wh limit, or be counting on you to request prior approval (which can be done up to 160wh) but that would be stupid.

I'm betting on the 3.2 voltage, selling a powerbank that you won't be able to travel with is not very smart

Then it would be marketing snake oil. 0.1V cell marketed with 1,000,000mah still be 100wh.

That would be very useful for a laptop battery backup, provided they lower the voltage from the nominal 3.7V.
I've heard of instances where some travelers weren't allowed to take even thir 20,000mAh power banks on planes. That's wrong, of course, below the 100Wh airplane limit, but you can't argue with some stubborn official that's not interested to do the math...
I suppose if they visibly write the battery capacity in Wh as well, it might be safe to travel with it.

Exactly, cell voltages are standard, and if they market this converted to a lower voltage then it's laughable.
