Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,950, packing 10000mAh of stored charge, up to 22.5W fast charging and a built-in Type-C cable in a grey metallic capsule. This Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank is brand new and sealed, part of Amaya's Traveler Link series, and sold over the counter at our shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank carries the Starlight Display, a star-pattern panel on its face. Its cable wraps around the body, so there is no loose lead to lose in a bag.
Built for commuters, university students, sales teams and frequent flyers across Kenya, the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank handles the moment a phone dies far from a socket. A KPLC power cut at night, a long matatu ride home from town, or a full day of client visits all drain a phone faster than expected. The 10000mAh cell holds enough for about 1.3 refills of a typical 5,000mAh Android phone, after normal conversion losses. Because the Type-C lead is attached, you carry one object instead of a power bank plus a tangle of cables. That keeps maps, calls and WhatsApp running.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded power banks with inflated capacity labels, Mascom International stocks sealed Amaya units with honest ratings printed on the box. At about 37Wh, the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank sits well under the 100Wh carry-on limit airlines apply, so it can travel through JKIA in your hand luggage. Customers across Nairobi tell us the attached cable is the feature they end up valuing most. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to hold it and see the display, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any county in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank
How much is the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank in Kenya?
The Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank costs KSh 2,950 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the unit with its attached Type-C cable and Mascom's 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you inspect the box before handing over cash or M-Pesa. Within the same Traveler Link series, the APB-F139C sells for KSh 2,600 and the APB-F001C for KSh 2,500, so you pay KSh 350 to KSh 450 more here for the Starlight Display and wrap-around cable.
Can I carry the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank on a Kenya Airways flight?
Yes, the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank is rated about 37Wh, below the 100Wh limit IATA rules set for carry-on luggage. Keep it in your hand luggage and never in checked bags, whether you fly Kenya Airways from JKIA or a smaller carrier from Wilson. Airlines want power banks in the cabin so crew can act quickly if a cell overheats. Security staff may ask to see the capacity label, so keep the printed rating readable. No airline approval is needed at this size.
Will the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank charge my iPhone?
The Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank charges any iPhone with a USB-C port through its built-in Type-C cable, which means iPhone 15 and later models. Older iPhones with a Lightning port cannot use the attached lead. If your household mixes Lightning and USB-C phones, the Amaya APB-F139C Power Bank at KSh 2,600 carries both cables built in. For Android phones, USB-C earbud cases and most Bluetooth speakers with a Type-C input, the attached lead on this model plugs in directly with nothing extra to carry.
Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank vs Amaya APB-F135C Power Bank: which one should I buy?
Both the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank and the APB-F135C hold 10000mAh and deliver up to 22.5W through a built-in cable, so the charging job is the same. The APB-F040C costs KSh 2,950 and adds the Starlight Display plus a cable that wraps around a rounded capsule. The APB-F135C costs KSh 2,850 and uses a flatter pouch shape that lies thin in a shirt pocket. Pick the APB-F040C if you want the star-pattern panel and capsule shape. Pick the APB-F135C if a flat profile matters more.
Is the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank useful during KPLC power cuts and long trips?
Yes, the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank gives a phone about 1.3 extra charges when KPLC power drops. That covers an evening of calls, M-Pesa payments and WhatsApp until the lights return. On a Nairobi to Mombasa SGR ride or at an upcountry wedding with no free socket, it refills a phone that hit 20% by lunch. Charge the bank fully whenever power is on, and avoid leaving it on a car dashboard in the afternoon heat, which stresses any lithium cell.
Who should buy the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank, and who should skip it?
The Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank suits anyone with one USB-C phone who wants a light backup that fits a pocket and flies in carry-on bags. Students in hostels, sales reps and frequent flyers fit that profile well. Skip it if you need several days off-grid; the Amaya APB-30 Power Bank holds 30000mAh for KSh 2,750, though it needs airline approval to fly. Laptop users should look at the Amaya APB-F165L Power Bank, which delivers 165W for KSh 6,300.
How many times can the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank charge my phone?
The Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank gives about 1.3 full charges to a phone with a 5,000mAh battery, a common size for Tecno, Infinix and Samsung A-series handsets. Every power bank loses roughly 30 to 40% of its rated capacity to heat and voltage conversion, so 10000mAh delivers about 6,000 to 7,000mAh in practice. A phone with a smaller 4,000mAh battery gets closer to one and a half charges. Recharge the bank itself after each trip so it is ready next time.
Does the 22.5W fast charging on the Amaya APB-F040C work with every phone?
The Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank charges every USB-C phone, but only handsets that accept fast charging reach the full 22.5W. The box carries Amaya's OnlyFast label for its fast-charging line. A phone built for lower input simply draws what it can handle, so a slower handset still charges normally. Charging speed also drops as the phone nears full, which is normal behaviour for lithium batteries. For the quickest top-up, charge with the phone screen off.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging Capacity
- 10000mAh rated capacity — enough stored charge for about 1.3 full refills of a typical 5,000mAh Android phone.
- About 37Wh energy rating — the figure airlines check, worked out from 10000mAh at the standard 3.7V cell voltage.
- Up to 22.5W output — fast charging for phones that support it, so a short break adds a useful amount of charge.
- OnlyFast branding on the box — Amaya's label for its fast-charging line; phones that accept less power simply draw less.
- Usable output of about 6,000 to 7,000mAh — conversion losses take roughly a third of rated capacity in every power bank.
- Starlight Display — a star-pattern panel on the face of the unit that gives the Traveler Link capsule its name.
- Built-in Type-C output cable — always attached, so the bank charges your phone the moment you need it.
Compatibility and Supported Devices
- Android phones with USB-C — Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Redmi, Oppo and Vivo models connect directly through the attached lead.
- iPhone 15 and later — USB-C iPhones charge directly; older Lightning iPhones cannot use the attached Type-C cable.
- Earbuds and fitness bands with USB-C charging cases — top them up between calls without carrying a second charger.
- Fast-charge support varies by phone — handsets that accept 22.5W get the full rate; others charge at their own normal speed.
- Small USB-C gadgets — Bluetooth speakers, portable fans and handheld torches with Type-C inputs work from the same lead.
- Not designed for laptops — 22.5W is too little for most laptops; the Amaya APB-F165L Power Bank handles that job.
Build and Portability
- Grey metallic capsule shape — a rounded body that slides into a jacket, handbag or trouser pocket without sharp corners.
- Wrap-around cable — the Type-C lead coils around the body, so it never tangles with keys or earphones in a bag.
- Compact and light — Amaya markets the unit as ultra compact and lightweight, aimed at travellers who pack carefully.
- Star-pattern face — the Starlight panel gives it a distinct look and makes it easy to spot in a crowded bag.
- Flight-safe marking — printed on the box; at about 37Wh it travels in carry-on luggage under IATA rules.
- Care in heat — keep it out of a closed car parked in the afternoon sun to protect the lithium cell inside.
- Single-object carry — with no loose cable to pack, the whole kit is one capsule you can drop into a pocket on the way out.
Inclusions and Support
- Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank unit — brand new and sealed in its retail box, straight from the Chinese accessories maker Amaya.
- Box markings — the retail box lists 10000mAh, 22.5W, OnlyFast and flight-safe, so you can check the rating before paying.
- Attached Type-C cable — part of the body rather than a loose accessory, so it cannot be left behind at a hotel.
- No wall adapter included — Mascom International sells compatible USB chargers at the Kimathi Street counter if you need one.
- 6-month Mascom warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — inspect the sealed box before paying by cash or M-Pesa, anywhere in Kenya.
- Traveler Link series — one of eight Traveler Link models we stock, priced from KSh 2,100 to KSh 3,200.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed box you get the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank itself, with its Type-C cable already built into the body and wrapped around the capsule. There is no separate loose cable and no wall adapter, because the attached lead does the charging work and most buyers already own a USB charger. If you need an adapter, Mascom International stocks compatible chargers at the Kimathi Street counter. Check the seal on delivery before you pay.
Warranty
Mascom International covers the Amaya APB-F040C Power Bank with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, such as a cell that will not hold charge, a faulty display or a built-in cable that stops working under normal use. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk in the Old Mutual Building.
