Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,100, brand new and sealed, with a 20000mAh cell, up to 22.5W output and two cables built into the body. One cable ends in Type-C for Android phones and recent iPhones, and the other ends in Lightning for older iPhones. Both loop neatly across the top, so nothing tangles in a bag. A digital display shows the remaining charge as a number. The Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank belongs to Amaya's Traveler Link 20 series and carries a flight-safe icon on the casing. You can test one at our store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for people who live on their phones across Kenya, the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank answers a common problem: a dead battery halfway through the day. Uber and Bolt drivers lose fares when the navigation app dies. Sales teams and NGO field staff in Turkana or Marsabit spend days far from a reliable socket. University students in Kenyatta or JKUAT hostels share one outlet between four roommates. With 20000mAh stored, the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank refills a typical 5,000mAh Android phone about 2.6 times. That carries most users through a KPLC power cut or a weekend upcountry wedding without hunting for a plug.
Unlike many power banks sold in Nairobi, which need a separate cable for every phone in the house, the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank keeps both connectors attached. An iPhone and a Samsung can share one unit at a family gathering. Customers across Nairobi tell us built-in cables are the reason they stop forgetting chargers at home. Mascom International stocks the wider Amaya range, so you can compare sizes on the counter before choosing. Visit the store, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery across all 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank
How much is the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank in Kenya?
The Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank costs KSh 3,100 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the power bank with its Type-C and Lightning cables built in, plus Mascom's 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects. A wall adapter is not included and is sold separately in store. Delivery is pay-on-arrival anywhere in Kenya. The compact Amaya APB-F235C Power Bank costs KSh 100 more, while the four-cable Amaya APB-F229 Power Bank is KSh 750 cheaper.
Can I carry the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank on a Kenya Airways flight?
Yes, the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank is rated at about 74Wh, under the 100Wh IATA limit for carry-on luggage. That figure comes from 20000mAh multiplied by 3.7 volts. It must travel in your cabin bag, never in checked luggage, at JKIA or any other airport. No airline approval is needed below 100Wh. The flight-safe icon printed on the casing helps when security staff check it. Keep it easy to reach at screening, and follow any extra rules your airline gives on the day.
How does the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank compare with the Amaya APB-F229 Power Bank?
Both hold 20000mAh and reach 22.5W, but the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank carries two built-in cables while the Amaya APB-F229 Power Bank carries four. The APB-F229 costs KSh 2,350 at Mascom International, KSh 750 less, and also has a digital display. The APB-F230C focuses on the two connectors most Kenyan households use, Type-C and Lightning, with cables looped over the top. Pick the APB-F229 to cover more cable types for less money. Pick the APB-F230C if you prefer its looped cable design and Traveler Link 20 build.
Will the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank get me through a KPLC power cut?
For most phone users, yes: the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank refills a 5,000mAh Android phone about 2.6 times on one full charge. Usable output is roughly 60 to 70 percent of the 20000mAh rating, because some energy is lost in conversion. That still keeps M-Pesa, WhatsApp and a torch app running through a long blackout in Nairobi, Kisumu or Mombasa. The digital display shows the remaining level as a number, so you know when to top it up once power returns.
Does the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank work with both iPhone and Samsung phones?
Yes, the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank has a Type-C cable for Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Redmi and USB-C iPhones, plus a Lightning cable for older iPhones. Both are fixed to the body, so you never need to borrow a cable. Earbud cases and many tablets with Type-C ports also work from the same lead. Phones that support fast charging draw up to 22.5W, while older handsets take power at their own lower rate. The phone and power bank agree on a safe speed between themselves.
What does two-way fast charging mean on the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank?
On the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank, two-way fast charging means the unit is rated for fast power in and fast power out, with output peaking at 22.5W. The box labels this OnlyFast, Amaya's name for its fast-charging support. In practice, a compatible phone fills noticeably quicker than on an old 5W cube adapter. Mascom International does not quote charging times, because they depend on your phone, your wall adapter and how empty the battery is when you start.
Who should buy the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank, and who should skip it?
The Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank suits households and offices with a mix of iPhones and Android phones, plus drivers, students and travellers who dislike carrying cables. It also fits anyone flying, since it stays under the 100Wh carry-on limit. Skip it if you need to power a laptop: the Amaya APB-F165L Power Bank at KSh 6,300 is built for that. Campers at Hell's Gate wanting several days of power should look at the 50000mAh Amaya APB-50 Power Bank. Tight budgets suit the Amaya APB-P210 Power Bank at KSh 2,100.
Is the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank good for Uber and Bolt drivers?
Yes, the Amaya APB-F230C Power Bank fits ride-hailing drivers in Nairobi well, because navigation and driver apps drain phones fast. One full charge refills a 5,000mAh Android phone about 2.6 times, covering long shifts between Westlands, Upper Hill and the airport. Drivers with an iPhone and a second Android handset can feed both from the two built-in cables. The digital display shows the remaining level at a glance at a red light. Keep it in the glovebox or door pocket rather than on the dashboard in midday heat.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Capacity
- 20000mAh rated capacity — stores enough energy to refill a typical 5,000mAh Android phone about 2.6 times on one full charge.
- About 74Wh energy rating — worked out as 20000mAh times 3.7 volts, the figure airlines use when judging power banks at check-in.
- Usable output of roughly 60 to 70 percent — normal conversion loss for every power bank, so real refills sit a little below the label.
- Up to 22.5W peak output — fast enough for phones that support quick charging, and far ahead of an old 5W cube adapter.
- Two-way fast charging — the box states fast power flows both in and out, marked with Amaya's OnlyFast fast-charging label.
- Digital display — shows the remaining energy as a number, so you never guess whether it will last a long bus trip to Mombasa.
- Traveler Link 20 series — Amaya's travel-focused line, designed around attached cables so nothing extra needs to go in your bag.
Compatibility With Phones and Devices
- Built-in Type-C cable — fits Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Redmi and iPhones with a USB-C port, plus most wireless earbud cases.
- Built-in Lightning cable — fits older iPhones and earbud cases that still use Apple's Lightning connector, with no adapter needed.
- Mixed households covered — one unit serves an iPhone and an Android phone at the same table without borrowing or buying extra cables.
- Fast-charge aware — phones that accept quick charging draw more power, while older phones simply take their own lower, safer rate.
- Small tablets and e-readers — devices with a USB-C port can top up from the same attached cable during a long day out.
- Not built for laptops — 22.5W is too little for most laptops; the APB-F165L Power Bank in the same Amaya range handles that job.
Build and Design
- Cables looped over the top — both leads curl across the upper edge, so they stay tidy and are less likely to snag in a bag.
- Black finish — a plain colour that hides scuffs, fingerprints and dust picked up from daily bag, pocket and car use.
- Flight-safe icon on the casing — signals the capacity sits under the carry-on limit, which helps when airport security staff inspect it.
- Fixed cables — no loose leads to lose on a matatu or in a hostel room, a common reason people stop using power banks.
- Brand new and sealed — every unit arrives in Amaya's original packaging, unopened until you buy it at Mascom International.
- Heat care — keep the unit out of parked cars and direct sun, because high heat shortens the life of any lithium battery.
Inclusions and Support
- Power bank with two built-in cables — the Type-C and Lightning leads are part of the unit itself, not separate accessories.
- No wall adapter in the box — compatible fast-charging adapters are sold separately at Mascom International if you need one.
- 6-month Mascom warranty — covers manufacturing defects, with every claim handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street.
- In-store testing — try the display and both cables on your own phone at the counter before you pay a single shilling.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — order on WhatsApp and pay only when the power bank reaches your door anywhere in Kenya.
- Side-by-side comparison — staff can place it next to other Amaya power banks so you can judge size and weight in hand.
