Amaya AC101 Wall Charger is on sale at Mascom International for KSh 260, brand new and sealed with a USB to Micro-USB cable in the box. The Amaya AC101 Wall Charger is rated at 3.1A across two USB-A ports, which comes to roughly 15W at the standard 5V USB voltage, shared between whatever you plug in. It is white, carries the UK 3-pin plug used in Kenyan homes and offices, and comes from Amaya, a Chinese accessories brand. You can buy it over the counter at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for university students, young professionals and households across Kenya, the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger handles the common problem of too many devices and too few sockets. A hostel room at the University of Nairobi or Kenyatta University often has one usable socket for two or three people. With two ports on one plug, the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger lets a phone and a pair of earbuds, or two phones, charge from that single point. Paired with the included Micro-USB cable and any second cable you already own, it replaces two separate chargers.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell low-priced chargers loose and without a receipt, Mascom International supplies the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger in its sealed retail box with a written warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us a dual-port charger at this price usually means an unbranded unit with no after-sales support. Here you get a named brand, a stated rating and a shop you can walk back into. Visit us on Kimathi Street to see the white finish in person, or order on WhatsApp for delivery and pay when it arrives.
Common Questions About the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger
How much does the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger cost in Kenya?
The Amaya AC101 Wall Charger costs KSh 260 brand new at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the white dual-port adapter, a USB to Micro-USB cable and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival across Kenya, and same-day within Nairobi. At this price, two units for a home and an office come to KSh 520, about the same as many single-port fast chargers in our range, such as the Amaya ACW-U52S-C29 Wall Charger.
Should I buy the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger or the Amaya ACW-W52S-M29 Wall Charger?
The Amaya AC101 Wall Charger gives you two USB-A ports sharing 3.1A for KSh 260, while the Amaya ACW-W52S-M29 Wall Charger is rated at 25W and costs KSh 320. Both come with a USB to Micro-USB cable. If you mostly charge one phone that accepts faster charging over USB-A, the 25W model will push more power into it. If you need two devices charging from one socket, the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger is the better buy and saves you KSh 60.
Is the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger good for a student hostel with few sockets?
The Amaya AC101 Wall Charger is well suited to hostel rooms because its two USB-A ports turn one socket into two charging points. Students at JKUAT, Moi University and other Kenyan campuses often share a single wall socket with roommates. When KPLC restores power after a cut, both phones can start charging at once instead of taking turns. The UK 3-pin plug fits campus sockets directly, so there is no need for a cheap multi-plug adapter that may not be safe.
Who should buy the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger, and who should skip it?
The Amaya AC101 Wall Charger is for buyers who want two charging ports at the lowest price and are happy with standard charging speeds. It suits students, house helps, security guards and anyone keeping a spare charger at the office. Skip it if your phone supports fast charging and you want the quickest refill; the Amaya ACW-U35 Wall Charger at KSh 920 offers 35W with USB-A and USB-C ports. For laptops, choose the Amaya HU701 Wall Charger.
Can the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger charge two devices at the same time?
Yes, the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger has two USB-A ports, so two devices can charge at the same time from one wall socket. The 3.1A rating is shared between both ports, so each device charges a little slower when both are connected than when one is plugged in alone. A common pairing is a phone on one port and earbuds, a smartwatch or a Bluetooth speaker on the other. Only one cable is included, so the second port needs a cable you already own.
What does the 3.1A rating on the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger mean?
The 3.1A on the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger is the total current the adapter can supply across its two USB ports. Amps measure how much current flows; at the standard 5V of USB charging, 3.1A works out to about 15W in total. A basic single-port charger rated at 1A gives about 5W. The box does not list Quick Charge or Power Delivery, so phones built for faster charging will draw standard USB current from it.
Will the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger work with a Type-C phone?
The Amaya AC101 Wall Charger works with Type-C phones when you plug a USB-A to Type-C cable into one of its ports. The included cable is Micro-USB, which suits older Android phones, feature phones, power banks and many Bluetooth speakers, but it will not fit a Type-C socket. Many Nairobi buyers use the included Micro-USB cable for an older M-Pesa phone and their own Type-C cable for a newer handset, so both lines charge overnight from one plug.
Is the Amaya AC101 Wall Charger worth KSh 260?
The Amaya AC101 Wall Charger is worth KSh 260 if you need two USB ports, a Micro-USB cable and a warranty at a price close to a day's matatu fare for many Nairobi commuters. You are paying for a sealed, branded unit rather than a loose roadside charger. The trade-off is charging speed: it will not match a 20W or 25W fast charger. For spare, bedside or office use, that trade is usually acceptable.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- 3.1A total output rating — the combined current available across both ports, about 15W at the standard 5V USB voltage.
- Two USB-A ports on one plug — charge two devices at once from a single wall socket instead of carrying two chargers around.
- Current shared between ports — with two devices connected, each receives part of the 3.1A, so both charge but a little more slowly.
- Standard USB charging — no app or special handshake is needed, and any USB-A cable starts charging as soon as it is connected.
- Higher rating than a basic 1A charger — a single phone on its own gets noticeably more current than from an old 5W brick.
- Plug-in wall design — the adapter sits directly in the socket, keeping cables short and leaving the floor and desk clear.
Compatibility
- Micro-USB devices with the included cable — older Android phones, feature phones, budget tablets, power banks and many speakers.
- Type-C phones with your own USB-A to Type-C cable — modern Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo and Redmi models charge from either port.
- Earbuds cases, smartwatches and fitness bands — small devices charge comfortably on the second port while a phone uses the first.
- iPhone with a USB-A to Lightning cable you supply — standard charging only, since the adapter does not list Power Delivery support.
- Phones that support 18W or faster charging — they still charge from this adapter, just at standard USB speed rather than their rated top speed.
- Not meant for laptops — notebooks need a USB-C Power Delivery charger with far higher wattage, such as the Amaya HU701 Wall Charger.
Build
- White housing — a clean, light finish that suits bedside tables and offices; wipe it with a dry cloth to keep it bright.
- UK 3-pin plug, the Type G standard — fits Kenyan wall sockets directly, with no travel converter or extension adapter required.
- Two USB-A slots on the front face — clearly separated, so both cables can stay plugged in at the same time without crowding.
- Separate cable and adapter — if the Micro-USB cable wears out, replace the cable alone and keep using the working adapter.
- Sealed Amaya retail box — shows the unit has not been opened, used or swapped before it reaches you at the counter or door.
- Light plug-in body — the adapter hangs from the wall socket, so there is no loose brick to trip over in a shared hostel room.
Inclusions
- Amaya AC101 Wall Charger adapter — white, two USB-A ports, 3.1A total rating, with its UK 3-pin plug fixed to the body.
- USB to Micro-USB cable — ready to charge an older phone, power bank, torch or speaker straight out of the box.
- Second port left free for your own cable — use an existing Type-C or Lightning lead to charge a second device alongside.
- Standard USB-A cable end — the included lead also works with laptop USB ports, car chargers and power bank outputs.
- Pay-on-arrival option — check that the sealed box is intact before you pay cash or send payment through Lipa na M-Pesa.
- Low spare-charger cost — at KSh 260 each, three units for home, office and car bag come to KSh 780 in total.
