The Amaya AD017U Wall Charger is available at Mascom International for KSh 370, brand new and sealed, with an 18W fast charging rating, a single USB-A port and a USB to Type-C cable in the box. The white body carries a UK 3-pin plug, so it goes straight into the Type G sockets found in Kenyan homes and offices without a travel adapter. The Amaya AD017U Wall Charger comes from Amaya, a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, and you can pick it up at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Built for university students, M-Pesa agents, boda boda riders and office workers across Kenya, the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger answers a common problem: the phone is dying and the power window is short. When KPLC power returns for an hour in the evening, the 5W charger that came with an older phone barely moves the battery. An 18W rating gives a compatible Type-C phone far more energy in the same hour, so the handset running your Lipa na M-Pesa till, WhatsApp orders or Google Maps is ready sooner. One port and one cable keep it simple to carry.
Unlike the unbranded chargers sold off hawkers' tables on Luthuli Avenue and River Road, the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger arrives sealed in its retail box from a counter you can walk back to. Customers across Nairobi tell us they used to replace cheap chargers every few weeks; a rated, branded unit with a warranty breaks that cycle for a few hundred shillings. Mascom International lists the box specifications and nothing extra, so what you read here is what the packaging states. Visit the store to see the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger in person, or order it on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger
How much is the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger in Kenya?
The Amaya AD017U Wall Charger costs KSh 370 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes the charger head, a USB to Type-C cable and a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya, so you see the sealed box before paying. For comparison, the AD018U carries the same 18W box rating at KSh 430, while the 2A AD017C costs KSh 330 if a standard-speed charger is all you need.
Is the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger worth KSh 40 more than the AD017C?
For most Type-C phone owners, yes: the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger is rated at 18W, while the AD017C is rated at 2A, about 10W at USB's standard 5V. Both have one USB-A port, a white body, a UK 3-pin plug and a USB to Type-C cable. If your phone accepts fast charging over USB-A, the AD017U refills it noticeably quicker. If your phone only charges at standard speed, or the lowest price matters most, the AD017C at KSh 330 does the job.
Will the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger fast charge my Samsung, Tecno or Infinix phone?
The Amaya AD017U Wall Charger charges any phone with a USB-C port, but the full 18W reaches only phones that accept a compatible fast-charge standard over a USB-A cable. The box does not name a specific standard, so results vary by model. Phones built around USB-C Power Delivery alone may charge at a standard rate instead. The simplest check is practical: bring your phone to Mascom International on Kimathi Street and we will plug it into the charger before you buy.
Does the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger fit Kenyan sockets and help during KPLC power cuts?
Yes, the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger uses the UK 3-pin plug, the Type G socket standard in Kenya, so it needs no adapter. During KPLC outages the 18W rating matters most: when power returns for a short spell, a compatible phone takes in more charge than it would from a basic 5W charger. Households in Nairobi estates that lose power in the evening can keep one phone ready for M-Pesa and calls before the lights go off again.
Can the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger charge an iPhone?
The Amaya AD017U Wall Charger can charge an iPhone 15 or newer, because those models use a USB-C port and the included USB to Type-C cable fits them. Expect a standard charging rate, since iPhones fast charge through USB-C Power Delivery rather than over USB-A. Older iPhones with a Lightning port need a different cable; the AD017L at KSh 320 comes with a USB to Lightning cable. For faster iPhone charging, the Amaya ACW-U54S Wall Charger is a 20W USB-C PD adapter at KSh 500.
How do I avoid fake chargers when buying the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger?
Buy the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger from a shop with a fixed address and a written warranty, such as Mascom International on Kimathi Street. Fake chargers sold on Nairobi pavements often print high ratings on the box but heat up, charge slowly or fail within weeks. Our stock arrives sealed, with the model code printed on the retail packaging. If the unit develops a manufacturing fault within 6 months, you bring it back to a counter that will still be there.
Is it safe to leave my phone on the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger overnight?
Yes, a modern phone controls how much current it draws from the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger, and it slows charging as the battery fills. The charger offers up to 18W; the phone takes only what it is designed to accept. For longer battery life, many owners still unplug once the phone reaches full, especially in hot rooms. Keep the charger on a hard surface in open air, away from bedding, and never use a cracked or loose wall socket.
Who should buy the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger if you own a Type-C Android phone, want quicker top-ups than a basic charger gives, and charge one device at a time. Students, kiosk owners and riders on a tight budget get a rated, warrantied charger for KSh 370. Skip it if you charge two devices at once; the Amaya U110C Wall Charger has two USB-A ports for KSh 300. Skip it too if your phone needs USB-C Power Delivery; the Amaya ACW-U35 Wall Charger offers 35W through USB-A and USB-C.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging Output
- 18W fast charging rating printed on the box, more than three times the power of the basic 5W chargers shipped with older phones.
- Single USB-A output port, so one phone or gadget charges at a time and receives the whole rating.
- Fast charging needs a phone that accepts a compatible standard over USB-A; other phones charge at their normal rate.
- Charges phones, earbud cases, smartwatches, power banks and Bluetooth speakers that take a USB cable.
- Plugs straight into the wall, with no separate power brick or extension lead to carry around.
- Works as a daily charger at home or a spare kept in an office drawer or school bag.
Compatibility
- Included USB to Type-C cable fits Android phones and tablets from Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Redmi, Oppo, Vivo and Nokia with USB-C ports.
- iPhone 15 and newer accept the Type-C cable, charging at a standard rate rather than at Power Delivery speed.
- Older phones with Micro-USB or Lightning ports need a different cable; the USB-A port accepts any standard USB-A lead.
- Tablets with USB-C ports charge too, though a large tablet battery naturally takes longer to fill than a phone.
- Bluetooth earbuds, fitness bands and wireless mice with USB-C inputs charge from the same included cable.
- Phones that support only USB-C Power Delivery fall back to standard charging, so test yours in store first.
Build and Plug
- UK 3-pin plug, also called Type G, the standard socket in Kenyan homes, offices and hostels, so no adapter is needed.
- White housing that matches most wall sockets and stays easy to spot inside a dark bag or drawer.
- Single-port design keeps the body simpler and lighter in the hand than bulky multi-port charging bricks.
- Brand new and sealed in Amaya retail packaging, with the model code on the box for easy identification.
- Backed by the Mascom International 6-month warranty for manufacturing defects, handled at our Nairobi CBD desk.
Inclusions
- Amaya AD017U Wall Charger head with one USB-A port and a UK 3-pin plug.
- One USB to Type-C cable, ready for most Android phones sold in Kenya today.
- Sealed retail box, so you see the unit unopened before you pay on delivery.
- No second cable, car adapter or Lightning lead is included; those are sold separately.
- Spare Type-C, Micro-USB and Lightning cables are available at Mascom International if you lose or damage one.
Safety and Everyday Use
- Unplug the charger during thunderstorms or flickering power, which protects both the charger and the phone attached to it.
- Keep it out of direct sun on shop counters and car dashboards, since heat shortens the life of any charger.
- Use it on a dry surface; dust from murram roads and rain on open stalls are common enemies of electronics.
- Replace a frayed cable quickly, because a damaged lead charges slowly and can stop working without warning.
- Coil the cable loosely rather than wrapping it tightly around the head, which protects the joint near the plug.
Package Contents
The Amaya AD017U Wall Charger comes in a sealed Amaya retail box holding two items: the white wall charger head with a UK 3-pin plug and one USB-A port, and a USB to Type-C cable. That pairing covers most Android phones sold in Kenya straight out of the box. Nothing else is included. If you need a Micro-USB or Lightning cable for another device, ask at Mascom International and we will match the right lead to your phone.
Warranty
Mascom International covers the Amaya AD017U Wall Charger with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If the charger or its included cable develops a fault from manufacture within that period, bring it to our Nairobi CBD service desk, where all claims are handled.
