The Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger is available at Mascom International for KSh 1,800, brand new and sealed. Its box reads 45W GaN PD Charger: a single USB-C port, a white body, a UK 3-pin plug and a Type-C to Type-C cable packed alongside. GaN stands for gallium nitride, a chip material that wastes less energy as heat than older silicon chargers. PD means USB Power Delivery, the standard most modern phones, tablets and many laptops use to agree on a charging speed. Test the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for executives, accountants, developers and university students across Kenya, the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger handles more than a phone. Many people now carry a USB-C phone, a tablet and sometimes a light laptop, each with its own charger in the bag. One 45W USB-C charger can cover all of them in turn, which lightens the load on a matatu ride to Upper Hill or Westlands. When KPLC power returns after an outage, higher output means a quicker top-up on devices that accept it. The Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger lets one plug do the work of several.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push unbranded fast chargers with no rating you can trust, Mascom International sells the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger sealed, with its 45W rating printed on the box. Buyers throughout Kenya report that one dependable USB-C charger saves them from replacing cheap ones every few months. The KSh 1,800 price includes the Type-C to Type-C cable and a 6-month warranty. Order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya, or visit our Kimathi Street shop and plug the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger into your own phone or laptop first.
Common Questions About the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger
How much is the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger in Kenya?
The Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger costs KSh 1,800 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. The price covers the 45W GaN PD adapter, a Type-C to Type-C cable, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery in Kenya. It costs KSh 880 more than the dual-port 35W Amaya ACW-U35 Wall Charger at KSh 920. For laptop charging with several ports, the 70W Amaya HU701 Wall Charger costs KSh 2,500, which is KSh 700 more.
What do GaN and PD mean on the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger?
GaN means the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger uses gallium nitride chips, and PD means it follows the USB Power Delivery charging standard. Gallium nitride wastes less energy as heat than older silicon parts, so GaN chargers can deliver more power from a smaller body. USB Power Delivery lets the charger and device agree on voltage before charging starts. The result is fast charging for phones, tablets and laptops that support PD, and normal charging for anything that does not.
How is the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger different from the Amaya ACW-U200D Wall Charger?
The Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger is rated 45W, more than double the 20W of the Amaya ACW-U200D Wall Charger, and ships with a Type-C to Type-C cable. Both use GaN and USB-C PD. The Amaya ACW-U200D Wall Charger costs KSh 1,200, which is KSh 600 less. Choose the Amaya ACW-U200D Wall Charger if you only ever charge a phone. Choose the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger if you also top up a tablet or a light laptop from the same plug.
Can the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger charge a laptop?
The Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger can charge many light laptops that take power through USB-C PD, as long as the laptop accepts a 45W supply. Check the rating on your laptop's original adapter. If it is 45W or lower, this charger can usually replace it. If it is 65W or higher, the laptop may charge slowly or only while asleep. Laptops with round barrel connectors cannot use it at all. The 70W Amaya HU701 Wall Charger at KSh 2,500 suits heavier machines.
How does the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger handle Kenyan sockets, heat and power cuts?
The Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger has a UK 3-pin plug, so it fits the Type G sockets in Kenyan homes and offices with no adapter. Its GaN chips waste less energy as heat than older silicon chargers, which helps in a warm Mombasa room or a crowded office. When KPLC power comes back after an outage, its 45W ceiling lets PD devices recover charge quickly. Use a surge-protected extension board in buildings with frequent voltage dips.
Who should buy the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger if you own USB-C devices that support PD and want one charger for a phone, tablet and light laptop. Lawyers, consultants and Strathmore or USIU students carrying a tablet to class get good use from it. Skip it if you need to charge two devices at once: the dual-port Amaya ACW-U35 Wall Charger at KSh 920 fits that need. Skip it too if your phone uses Micro-USB, where a basic Amaya model costs far less.
Will the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger fast-charge an iPhone?
Yes, the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger fast-charges any iPhone that supports USB-C Power Delivery, since PD is the standard Apple uses for fast charging. The iPhone 15 and later plug straight in with the included Type-C to Type-C cable. Older iPhones from the iPhone 8 onwards need a USB-C to Lightning cable, sold separately at Mascom International. Bring your iPhone to our Kimathi Street counter and we will show it charging before you buy.
Is the 45W Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger safe for a phone rated at 18W?
Yes, the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger is safe for lower-wattage phones because a USB-C PD charger never forces power into a device. The phone and charger agree on a level first, and the phone draws only what it was designed to take. A Tecno or Infinix handset rated for 18W simply charges at 18W. The 45W figure is a ceiling, not a constant push. That makes one charger practical for a household with mixed phones.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging Output
- 45W output from one USB-C port — fast phone charging, with enough headroom for many light laptops that accept 45W.
- USB Power Delivery, or PD, standard — charger and device agree on voltage before power flows, so each gets a safe level.
- GaN, or gallium nitride, chips — waste less energy as heat than older silicon chargers of similar output.
- Single-port design — the full output goes to one device rather than being split between two.
- Standard charging for non-PD devices — older phones still charge at their normal rate.
Compatibility
- iPhone 15 and later through the included Type-C to Type-C cable — PD fast charging with no extra purchase.
- iPhone 8 to iPhone 14 with a USB-C to Lightning cable — PD fast charging once you add that cable.
- Samsung Galaxy, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo and Redmi phones with USB-C — charge directly with the cable in the box.
- USB-C iPad models and Android tablets — large tablet batteries benefit most from the higher output.
- Light USB-C laptops whose original adapters are rated 45W or lower — one charger for phone and laptop in the bag.
Build and Plug
- White finish — matches most wall sockets, extension boards and office desks.
- UK 3-pin plug, the Type G standard — fits Kenyan sockets directly, with no travel adapter required.

Package Contents
Inside the sealed box of the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger are two items: the white 45W GaN PD adapter and a Type-C to Type-C cable. That pairing covers USB-C phones, tablets and light laptops straight away. Nothing else is packed. A USB-C to Lightning cable for an older iPhone, or a longer cable for a desk setup, is sold separately at Mascom International on Kimathi Street.

Mascom International backs the Amaya ACW-U45 Wall Charger with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use.
