Mi Band 4 Charging Cable for Xiaomi Mi Band 2, 3, 4

Charge it on your wrist, strap and all

• Clip on, charge on

  Line up the two pins with the band's contacts, press until the cradle sits flat, and the charge starts. The strap never comes off, so there is no buckle to fight at night or in a rush before a workout.

• Gold contacts

  The cradle carries two gold-plated pins, which keeps the contact surface clean and the connection steady. A quick wipe with a dry cloth now and then is all the upkeep they need.

• A line that reaches the nightstand

  The cable runs 30 cm from the cradle to the plug, enough to reach a bedside adapter or a desk port without stretching it tight. The strain relief is rounded where the wire meets the cradle, so it bends at the join instead of at a sharp point. For more tidy setups, see cable organizers.

Clip on and charge in three steps

1. 1
   Wipe the contacts

   Wipe the band's charging contacts and the two pins on the cradle with a dry cloth. Dust and sweat can interrupt the connection.

2. 2
   Clip the cradle on

   Keep the strap buckled. Line both pins up with the band's contacts and press until the cradle sits flat, not at an angle.

3. 3
   Plug in and leave it

   Connect the USB-A plug to a bedside adapter, laptop or wall port. The band starts charging, and you unclip it in the morning.

The band goes flat, and the charger is missing

The band goes flat again

You reach for the band in the morning and the screen is dark. The original charger is in a drawer somewhere, or it is gone for good. So you dig through the cable tangle, pull the strap off, and hope the contacts line up. Every top-up becomes a small chore you would rather skip.

Charging without the strap fight

The cradle clips straight onto the band's charging back, so the strap stays buckled on your wrist. Plug the 30 cm cable into a USB-A adapter by the bed or a laptop on the desk and the band starts charging. Clipping on takes a couple of seconds, and the band is ready by morning. Keep a second cable in the bag and the trip is covered too.

What using it looks like

1. First use
   Clip on and charge

   Attach the cradle to the band's charging contacts with the strap still on and plug into any USB-A port. Charging starts without removing the strap.

2. Week 1
   Nightly routine settles in

   Keeping the cable at the bedside makes overnight charging a habit. The band starts the day with a charge instead of a warning.

3. 30 days
   A spare that stays put

   The cable lives on the nightstand or desk, so a missing original charger stops being a reason the band goes flat. Check the contacts now and then for dust.

Clean contacts, gentle pulls, long life

• Wipe the contacts

  A dry cloth on the pins and band contacts keeps the connection steady.

• Pull the plug, not the wire

  Grip the cradle or the plug housing when you unplug, so the strain relief stays intact.

• Line it up square

  Press the cradle on flat. A skewed clip may not seat both pins.

• Store it loose

  Loop the cable loosely by the bed or in a bag rather than wrapping it tight around the cradle.

A spare that costs less than a dead day
