In these times, everything related to generating energy at home is something that generates a lot of interest. It's a vicious circle, choosing to generate energy through renewable energy, which is not always possible, nor cheap, or to stay connected directly to the electricity grid, with gas prices that have reached highs in recent months. That is why it is becoming more and more common to find products like what we know today, namely giant portable batteries that allow us to power large and small appliances, all for a relatively attractive price.

New Xiaomi Mijia Outdoor Power Supply 1000

The Asian brand Xiaomi has launched one of its trendiest products, a large battery that we can take anywhere, so it can be used not only at home, but also on mountain walks, camping or anywhere else where it is convenient to use an external power supply. That battery is huge, with a capacity of 280500mAh, which is a regular external battery but 60 times larger. The best thing is not the capacity, but the power it can deliver to the connected devices.

It has two Type-C ports that can deliver up to 100W of power. As well as 4 AC sockets capable of providing 1600W of power, with which some electrical appliances can be powered for several hours. We also have 12W, 22.5W USB connectors or cigarette lighter plugs and 5A. So, without a doubt, we have in front of us a battery capable of powering devices that we would only use connected to the mains.

To give you an idea, with this battery, for example, we can power an electric stove, a microwave oven, a projector or an air fryer, among many others. So it is possible to power small appliances for an hour depending on the power you need. So it's perfect to take with us anywhere and have a picnic without having to give up all kinds of appliances that can give us the comforts we have at home, but in the middle of nature.

After 800 charging cycles, the battery will be able to maintain up to 80% of its original capacity, so in the long run, we will continue to enjoy many hours of autonomy. This battery has a relatively compact size for these models, weighing 15.3 kg. In addition, it has fast charging, because despite its high capacity, it can be charged to 80% in an hour and a half. To charge it to 100%, it will take two and a half hours, without a doubt, very little time due to its high capacity. And all this, as we say, at a reasonable price, around 699 euros. It is currently only available in China.
