Amaya AD018V Wall Charger is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 390, a 2A single-port USB-A charger with a UK 3-pin plug and a USB to Micro-USB cable in the box. The unit is white, brand new and sealed, and its box describes it as "2A Fast Charging, USB to Micro". At USB's standard 5 volts, 2A works out to about 10W, double the 5W of the basic cube chargers that shipped with many older handsets. You can collect the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger from our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Designed for owners of Micro-USB devices, the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger handles the phones, speakers and power banks that newer Type-C chargers leave behind. Plenty of Kenyans still keep an older handset as a dedicated M-Pesa line, and that phone has to stay switched on all day. When KPLC cuts power and the lights return for only a couple of hours, a 2A charger puts back more battery in that short window than a tired 1A adapter. Students in hostels at UoN, JKUAT and Kenyatta University use the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger to top up a phone first, then a Bluetooth speaker.
Where many stalls along Luthuli Avenue and River Road sell unbranded chargers of uncertain origin, Mascom International stocks sealed Amaya units with a written warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us they come in after a cheap charger stopped working or began charging their phone in slow fits and starts. The Amaya AD018V Wall Charger gives them a known brand, a matching cable and 6 months of cover for KSh 390. Walk into our Kimathi Street shop to try it with your own device, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger
How much is the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger in Kenya?
The Amaya AD018V Wall Charger costs KSh 390, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the white 2A wall plug, a USB to Micro-USB cable and a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you check the box before handing over cash or M-Pesa. If you also own a Lightning iPhone, the matching Amaya AD018L Wall Charger costs KSh 400, just KSh 10 more, with a Lightning cable instead.
Is the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger better than the Amaya AD017V Wall Charger?
Both carry the same 2A rating, one USB-A port and a USB to Micro-USB cable, so charging speed on paper is identical. The Amaya AD017V Wall Charger costs KSh 300, which is KSh 90 less than the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger at KSh 390. The two differ in housing and price, and we can show both side by side at the counter so you judge the build in hand. Pick the AD017V if the lowest price matters most; pick the AD018V if you prefer its body after seeing both.
Will the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger fit Kenyan sockets and cope with power cuts?
Yes, the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger uses the UK 3-pin plug, the Type G design found in Kenyan homes, offices and hostels. It goes straight into the wall with no travel adaptor wobbling loose. During KPLC outages the charger simply stops and carries on when power returns. In areas where voltage spikes follow outages, plugging into a surge-protected extension adds a layer of safety. The 2A output helps you recover more battery in the short spell between cuts.
Which phones and devices work with the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger?
Any device with a Micro-USB port charges with the included cable, including older Android phones, many feature phones, Bluetooth speakers, power banks and wireless earphone cases. Micro-USB is the narrow port with one flat side, so the plug fits only one way. The charger itself has a standard USB-A socket, which means your own USB-A to Type-C or Lightning cable works in it too. Newer phones built for 18W or faster charging still charge on it, just at the 10W level.
Can the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger keep an M-Pesa agent phone running all day?
Yes, the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger is a sensible daily charger for an M-Pesa agent or kiosk phone that uses Micro-USB. At about 10W it refills a typical budget handset faster than a 5W cube, so a lunchtime top-up goes further. Mama mboga traders, shopkeepers and cyber café attendants often leave one plugged in behind the counter. With a single port, the phone draws the full 2A without sharing it. Keep the cable off the floor where customers step.
Is a 2A charger safe for my old phone's battery?
Yes, a 2A charger is safe for phones rated below that level, because the phone, not the charger, decides how much current it draws. A handset designed for 1A simply takes 1A and leaves the rest unused. What harms batteries is poor voltage control, which is common in counterfeit chargers sold without a brand or warranty. The Amaya AD018V Wall Charger is a branded unit bought sealed from Mascom International, and it carries a 6-month warranty if it develops a fault.
Who should buy the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger if your phone, speaker or power bank uses Micro-USB and you want one tidy charger with a matching cable. It suits students, small traders, parents handing down older phones and anyone replacing a lost original. Skip it if your phone has a Type-C port; the Amaya AD018C Wall Charger at KSh 400 brings a Type-C cable instead. Skip it too if two devices must charge at once, where the dual-port Amaya AD036-M Wall Charger at KSh 270 fits better.
Is the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger worth the money in Kenya?
Yes, for KSh 390 you get a branded 2A plug, a matched cable and six months of warranty cover, which most roadside chargers do not offer at any price. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a cheap charger often needs replacing within weeks, so the real cost adds up quickly. Because the plug and cable are separate, a worn cable later does not mean throwing away the plug. If you already own a good Micro-USB cable, the plug alone still earns its place as a spare.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging Output
- 2A output from one USB-A port — about 10W at USB's standard 5V, double a basic 5W cube charger.
- "2A Fast Charging" printed on the box — fast next to 1A adapters, not the 18W or 20W modes newer phones use.
- Single-port design — the full 2A goes to one device, so nothing is split between two phones.
- Plugs straight into the wall — charges from any socket, with no power strip needed when outlets are scarce.
- The phone controls its own intake — leaving a device plugged in overnight is routine, not risky.
- Plain charging only — no display, no wireless pad and no settings to learn, just plug in and charge.
Compatibility
- Included Micro-USB cable — fits older Android phones, feature phones, Bluetooth speakers, power banks and earphone cases.
- Standard USB-A socket — also accepts your own USB-A to Type-C or USB-A to Lightning cable when needed.
- Micro-USB connector explained — the narrow, flat-sided plug that inserts one way only; Type-C phones need a different cable.
- Newer fast-charge phones — they still charge on this unit, at about 10W rather than their top speed.
- Lower-rated gadgets — a device that wants 1A takes only 1A, and the extra capacity simply sits unused.
Build and Plug Design
- White housing — easy to spot on a dark desk, a crowded extension board or the bottom of a bag.
- UK 3-pin plug, also called Type G — the standard Kenyan socket, so no travel adaptor is needed.
- Brand new and sealed in Amaya retail packaging — you open it yourself, never a loose or previously used unit.
- Made by Amaya — a Chinese mobile-accessories brand, sold here with a Mascom International warranty behind every unit.
- Separate plug and cable — a damaged cable can be swapped without replacing the whole charger.
Inclusions and After-Sales
- Amaya AD018V wall plug — the white 2A single-port charger with its UK 3-pin prongs.
- USB to Micro-USB cable — matched to the charger and ready for older Android phones and accessories.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — inspect the sealed box first, then pay by cash or M-Pesa on the spot.
- In-store testing — plug it into your own phone at our Kimathi Street counter before you pay.
Package Contents
The sealed Amaya AD018V Wall Charger box holds two items: the white 2A wall plug with its UK 3-pin prongs and one USB-A socket, and a USB to Micro-USB cable. Nothing else is listed for this model, so there is no Type-C adapter or second cable inside. Because the plug and cable are separate, you can reuse the plug with your own USB-A cables later. Open the box at our counter if you want us to test it with your phone before you leave.
Warranty
Mascom International covers the Amaya AD018V Wall Charger with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects in the plug and included cable under normal use. If either part develops a fault, bring it with your receipt to our service desk in Nairobi CBD, where claims are handled directly.
