Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 520, with an 18W Quick Charge USB-A port, a UK 3-pin plug and a USB to Type-C cable in the box. Every unit is brand new and sealed. Amaya is a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, and this model is its single-port option for phones that support Qualcomm Quick Charge. The black textured body gives a firm grip and hides the scuffs that come from daily plugging. You can collect the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Designed for students, shop owners, boda boda riders and office workers, the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger does one job well: it gets a Type-C phone back to a useful level quickly. KPLC power cuts often leave only a short window to charge, and a basic 5W charger wastes most of it. A Quick Charge phone on the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger can draw up to 18W in those minutes, more than three times the power. Hostel residents at JKUAT or Kenyatta University also get a single slim plug that leaves room on a crowded extension board.
Where many Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded chargers with no paperwork, Mascom International stocks sealed Amaya units with a written 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they came to us after a cheap charger from River Road overheated or died within weeks. The Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger comes from a known brand, with its safety protections printed on the box. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to see it before you pay, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. The Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger is also a quick, low-cost fix for anyone replacing a lost or broken charger.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger
How much is the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger in Kenya?
The Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger costs KSh 520, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the 18W adapter, a USB to Type-C cable and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you hand over the money only once the charger reaches you. For KSh 80 less, the Amaya ACW-U121 Wall Charger adds two USB-C ports but delivers only 12W in total. For KSh 30 more, the Amaya U111U Wall Charger offers a similar 18W USB-A setup.
Which phones charge fastest on the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger?
Phones that support Qualcomm Quick Charge get the full benefit of the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger. Many Android phones, especially those built on Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, fall in this group. Phones without Quick Charge still charge safely at standard USB speed. iPhones also work through a USB-A cable, but they charge at basic speed because Apple uses a different fast-charging standard called USB Power Delivery. If you are unsure about your handset, send the model name to us on WhatsApp and we will confirm before you order.
Will the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger fit Kenyan sockets and cope with KPLC outages?
Yes, the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger has a UK 3-pin plug, the Type G socket used in Kenyan homes, offices and hostels, so no travel adapter is needed. Its box lists several built-in protections, which help guard your phone when power returns after a KPLC cut. For homes and shops that see frequent surges, pair it with a surge-protected extension board. Its 18W output also makes good use of the short charging windows between outages, which is where a slow 5W charger falls behind.
Should I buy the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger or the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger?
Pick the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger at KSh 520 if your phone charges through a USB-A cable and supports Quick Charge. Pick the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger at KSh 500 if your phone uses USB Power Delivery, such as an iPhone 15 or later or a recent Samsung Galaxy. The ACW-U230S gives 20W over USB-C and ships with a Type-C to Type-C cable. The ACW-U18C uses the older USB-A port, which still matches most of the cables Kenyans already own.
Who should buy the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger, and who should skip it?
The Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger suits Android users with a Quick Charge phone, students on a tight budget, and anyone who needs a spare charger for the office or shop counter. Skip it if you want to charge a laptop, because 18W is far too little; the Amaya HU701 Wall Charger at KSh 2,500 handles that job. Skip it too if you need to charge two devices at once. The three-port Amaya ACW-U121 Wall Charger or the dual-port Amaya ACW-U35 Wall Charger fits that need better.
How can I tell the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger at Mascom is genuine?
Every Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger at Mascom International arrives sealed in its retail box, with the model code and protections printed on the packaging. Fake chargers sold along Luthuli Avenue often copy brand names but skip the safety parts inside, which can lead to overheating. Buying from a walk-in store with a written warranty removes that gamble. You can open the box in front of us at our Kimathi Street store and test the charger with your own phone before you leave.
Can the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger charge a tablet, earbuds or a watch?
Yes, the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger charges any gadget that takes power over a USB cable, including earbuds, watch charging docks, power banks and Bluetooth speakers. Tablets charge too, though a large tablet battery fills slowly on 18W. Earbuds and watches draw only a small amount of power, so the charger simply supplies what they ask for and nothing more. Use the included USB to Type-C cable for Type-C gadgets, or your own USB-A cable for Micro-USB or Lightning devices.
Is it safe to leave my phone on the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger overnight?
Yes, your phone controls how much power it takes, and it stops drawing a full charge once the battery is full. The Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger only raises its output when a Quick Charge phone asks for it, and stays at standard power otherwise. The protections listed on the box add a further layer of safety. Night-shift workers and shopkeepers across Nairobi charge this way every day. Keep the charger in open air rather than under a pillow or blanket, so any warmth can escape.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging Output
- 18W peak output — more than three times the power of a basic 5W charger, so short charging windows count.
- Qualcomm Quick Charge support — the charger raises its voltage only when a compatible phone requests it, speeding up charging safely.
- Standard USB fallback — phones and gadgets without Quick Charge still charge normally at regular USB power, with no setup needed.
- One device at a time — the single port sends its full 18W to one phone, with no power split between ports.
- Built-in protections listed on the box — safety circuits that help guard the charger and your phone against electrical faults.
- Fast top-ups during outages — a useful edge when a KPLC cut leaves only minutes to charge before the lights go out.
- Automatic speed matching — the adapter and phone agree on a safe power level by themselves, with no switch or button to press.
Compatibility With Phones and Gadgets
- USB-A port — the rectangular full-size socket, which fits most charging cables already found in Kenyan homes and offices.
- Quick Charge phones — many Android models on Qualcomm Snapdragon chips charge at their faster rate on this adapter.
- USB Power Delivery phones — iPhones and recent Samsung Galaxy models charge at basic speed, since they prefer USB-C PD chargers.
- Small accessories — earbuds, watch docks, Bluetooth speakers and power banks charge without issue through a matching USB-A cable.
- Tablets — charge reliably but slowly, because 18W is modest for a large tablet battery that needs hours to fill.
- Laptops — not supported; a laptop needs far more power, such as the 70W Amaya HU701 Wall Charger.
- Older Micro-USB phones — budget handsets and feature phones charge normally through a USB-A to Micro-USB cable bought separately.
Build and Plug
- UK 3-pin plug (Type G) — fits Kenyan wall sockets and extension boards directly, with no travel adapter or converter needed.
- Black textured finish — gives a firmer grip when you pull the plug out and hides scuffs from daily handling.
- Single-port body — a small brick that sits neatly beside other plugs on a crowded office or hostel extension board.
- Clear port layout — one USB-A socket means no guessing which port gives fast charging, unlike many multi-port bricks.
- Sealed retail box — every unit arrives in original Amaya packaging, with the model code and protections printed on the outside.
- Light, pocket-sized design — easy to carry in a school bag or handbag for charging at work, class or a friend's place.
- Black colour — keeps dust marks and fingerprints less visible than a white charger on a busy shop counter or desk.
Inclusions and Support
- Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger adapter — the 18W single-port USB-A charging brick with its UK 3-pin plug.
- USB to Type-C cable — connects the adapter to Type-C phones, earbuds and other gadgets straight out of the box.
- Ready to use — a Type-C phone owner needs no extra cable or adapter purchase to start charging on day one.
- Spare-cable option — Lightning and Micro-USB users can plug their own USB-A cable into the same port instead.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Brand new and sealed stock — no opened or returned units, so the adapter and cable reach you untouched.
- Pre-purchase advice — our team confirms on WhatsApp whether your phone supports Quick Charge before you place an order.
Package Contents
The Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger box holds two items: the 18W USB-A adapter with its UK 3-pin plug, and a USB to Type-C cable. That pairing means a Type-C Android phone is ready to charge the moment you open the box. Lightning and Micro-USB users can connect their own USB-A cable instead. Matching cables for other devices are sold separately at Mascom International if you need a spare for the car or office.
