The Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 500, and pairs a 20W fast-charging adapter with a Type-C to Type-C cable in one white set. It has a single USB-C port and a UK 3-pin plug, and every unit is brand new and sealed. The adapter accepts 100-240V input and steps its output between 5V, 9V and 12V, topping out at 20W. You can buy the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger over the counter at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered to your door.
Many new phones now leave the factory without a charger, and owners end up borrowing one or buying the cheapest cube on the street. The Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger fixes that for the price of a few lunches. Designed for university students, M-Pesa agents and families who need a dependable spare, it handles daily charging for USB-C phones and gives fast-charge support to models that accept it. Students in University of Nairobi hostels, where sockets are shared and time on them is short, get a full kit from the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger with nothing else to buy.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that push unbranded bargain chargers, Mascom International keeps sealed, labelled Amaya stock with its ratings printed on the adapter. That printed rating matters, because a charger that hides its numbers often hides its quality too. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the included cable alone saves them a separate purchase. At this price, the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger also makes sense as a second charger for the office or car bag. Order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives, with same-day delivery inside Nairobi and its environs.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger
How much does the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger cost in Kenya?
The Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger costs KSh 500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. For that price you get the white 20W adapter with a UK 3-pin plug and a Type-C to Type-C cable in the box. A 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery across the country are included. Stepping up to the Amaya ACW-U200D Wall Charger costs KSh 700 more and buys a smaller GaN body, but that model comes without a cable.
Should I choose the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger or the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger?
Choose the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger for USB-C phones, and the Amaya ACW-U18C Wall Charger if you still rely on older USB-A cables. The ACW-U230S has a USB-C port, delivers up to 20W and includes a Type-C to Type-C cable for KSh 500. The ACW-U18C costs KSh 520, uses a single USB-A port with Quick Charge at 18W, and ships with a USB to Type-C cable. Most phones sold in the last few years charge best from USB-C, which favours the ACW-U230S.
Will the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger cope with voltage dips and KPLC power cuts?
The Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger is rated for 100-240V input, so it keeps working when mains voltage sags well below the normal 230V supply. That wide range suits estates and upcountry towns where lights dim in the evening. After a KPLC outage, its 20W output puts charge back into a compatible phone quickly while power lasts. For extra protection against the spike when power returns, plug it into a surge-protected extension, which shields every device on that board, not only the charger.
What do the output ratings on the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger mean?
The Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger offers three output levels: 5V 3A, 9V 2.22A and 12V 1.67A. Volts multiplied by amps gives watts, so those levels work out to about 15W, 20W and 20W. The phone and charger agree on a level when you plug in, with basic devices taking 5V and fast-charging phones moving up to 9V or 12V. The 20W figure is the top of that range. The input rating of 0.5A shows how little current it draws from the wall socket.
Is the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger a good match for phones sold without a charger?
Yes, the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger is a sensible match for phones that come with only a cable or nothing at all. Recent Samsung Galaxy models, Google Pixel phones and iPhone 15 or newer all have USB-C ports and ship without an adapter. This kit supplies the adapter and a Type-C to Type-C cable together. Phones that support USB-C Power Delivery charge at their 20W rate, while brands with their own fast-charge systems charge at a standard USB-C speed instead.
Can the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger charge a Lightning iPhone?
The Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger can charge a Lightning iPhone only with a separate USB-C to Lightning cable, because the included cable has USB-C on both ends. The adapter itself supports fast charging for iPhone 8 and later through USB-C. Owners of iPhone 14 or earlier who want a cable in the box should look at the Amaya ACW-U54S-CL64 Wall Charger at KSh 620, which includes a Type-C to Lightning cable. iPhone 15 owners can use the included cable straight away.
Is a KSh 500 charger like the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger safe to use?
The Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger is a branded, sealed product with its full electrical ratings printed on it, which separates it from anonymous street chargers. Fakes sold in downtown stalls rarely state honest figures and often use thin internal parts. Mascom International sells this model from a walk-in store with a receipt and a 6-month warranty. As with any charger, use it in a ventilated spot, keep it dry, and unplug it if the casing ever feels unusually hot.
Who should buy the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger if you want a low-cost, complete charging kit for a USB-C phone, or a spare for the office in Industrial Area or the car. Students, M-Pesa agents and parents equipping a teenager's phone get the most value. Skip it if you want the smallest possible adapter, where the Amaya ACW-U200D Wall Charger with GaN parts suits better. Skip it too if you charge a laptop, which needs something like the 45W Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Output
- 20W peak output — the top of the charger's range, enough to fast charge phones that support 20W USB-C charging.
- 5V 3A level — about 15W, used by earbuds, older phones and other basic devices that do not ask for higher voltage.
- 9V 2.22A level — about 20W, the setting most PD fast-charging phones, including recent iPhones, request when plugged in.
- 12V 1.67A level — about 20W at a higher voltage, available to devices that request it for fast charging.
- Single USB-C port — charges one device at a time, so the full output goes to that phone or tablet.
Power Input
- Rated input 100-240V — keeps charging when mains voltage drops well below normal, and works on most power supplies abroad.
- 50/60Hz frequency — matches both common mains frequencies used worldwide, so it travels well beyond local sockets.
- 0.5A input current — draws a small current from the wall, so it sits comfortably on a shared extension board.
- UK 3-pin plug (Type G) — fits standard three-pin wall sockets and extension boards without a travel adapter.
- Surge-protected extension advised — shields the adapter and phone from the spike when power returns after an outage.
Compatibility
- USB-C Android phones — Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Vivo and Redmi models connect directly with the included cable.
- iPhone 15 and newer — fast charges through the included Type-C to Type-C cable with nothing extra to buy.
- iPhone 8 to iPhone 14 — fast charges with a separate USB-C to Lightning cable, sold at Mascom International.
- Tablets, earbuds and power banks with USB-C — charge at whatever level each device requests from the adapter.
- Laptops — not intended; most USB-C notebooks need 45W or more and will gain charge too slowly at 20W.
Build
- White finish — a clean, neutral colour that suits home, office and hostel desks and is easy to spot in a bag.
- Printed electrical ratings — input and output figures appear on the adapter, a sign of a properly labelled product.
- One-piece adapter — no removable parts, with the cable plugging into the single USB-C port on the face.
- Conventional charger build — not marketed as GaN, so it is a little larger than the Amaya ACW-U200D Wall Charger.
- Ventilated use advised — leave space around the adapter while charging rather than covering it with bedding or bags.
Inclusions
- Amaya ACW-U230S Wall Charger — the white 20W adapter with UK 3-pin plug and single USB-C port.
- Type-C to Type-C cable — connects the adapter to any USB-C phone or tablet straight out of the box.
- Brand new and sealed — supplied as untouched retail stock, never opened or used before reaching you.
- 6-month warranty — covers manufacturing defects in the adapter and cable, with claims handled at our service desk.
- Counter testing — staff will plug in your phone at the store so you can watch it charge before paying.
