Short answer: Most Xiaomi 20,000 mAh power banks are around 74 Wh and are usually below the common 100 Wh limit, but they still need to travel in carry-on baggage. China 3C evidence, Thailand mAh caps, label clarity, and the exact Xiaomi model can change the verdict.
Xiaomi has several 20,000 mAh power banks, so the exact model code matters. Similar names can have different ports, voltage basis, certification evidence, or regional specs.
At 3.7 V, 20,000 mAh is about 74 Wh. Some Xiaomi models publish a different battery-pack voltage basis, but the final Wh result for common 20K units is still normally under 100 Wh.
For China departures, the 3C mark can matter separately from Wh. For Thailand, a model at exactly 20,000 mAh should keep the label legible because the mAh cap may be checked directly.
