Amaya APB-F231 45W 20000mAh Power Bank is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,350, brand new and sealed, at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The Amaya APB-F231 carries a 20000mAh cell rated at roughly 74Wh, a USB-C port rated up to 45W, a separate USB-A port, and two cables built into the body one USB-C tip and one Lightning tip that stretch out when needed and retract back in. A front LED screen reports the exact battery percentage left, so the APB-F231 never leaves you guessing before a long day out.
Matatu and boda boda commuters, university students at Kenyatta, JKUAT and Strathmore, delivery riders, field sales teams, and ride-hailing drivers all hit the same wall: a phone that dies by 4:00 PM and a socket that is nowhere nearby. The Amaya APB-F231 answers that with about 13,000mAh of usable output after voltage conversion, enough to refill a 5000mAh Tecno or Infinix handset roughly 2.6 times, an iPhone 15 close to 3.9 times, or a Samsung Galaxy S24 about 3.2 times before the pack itself needs mains power again.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya selling unbranded 20000mAh packs with printed capacity figures nobody can verify, the Amaya APB-F231 is a distributed brand product with a stated 45W rating and a 6-month Mascom International warranty behind it. Buyers consistently report that the built-in cables matter more day to day than the wattage number, because a cable forgotten at home makes any battery pack useless. Handle the Amaya APB-F231 at our Kimathi Street counter before you pay, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Amaya APB-F231
How many times can the Amaya APB-F231 fully charge my phone?
The Amaya APB-F231 holds 20000mAh, which works out to roughly 13,000mAh of usable output once the 3.7V cell steps up to 5V for your phone. That refills a Tecno Spark or Infinix Hot carrying a 5000mAh battery about 2.6 times, a Samsung Galaxy A17 about 2.4 times, an iPhone 15 about 3.9 times, and a Samsung Galaxy S24 about 3.2 times. A weekend upcountry with no reliable socket is comfortably covered on one full pack, phone and earbuds included.
How fast is the 45W output in real use?
The USB-C port carries a 45W rating, quick enough to take an iPhone 15 Pro from empty to about 50 percent in half an hour and to run Samsung Super Fast Charging on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Your handset decides the actual rate, so a 33W Tecno or an 18W entry-level phone draws only what it supports. Use a USB-C to USB-C connection for the full speed, since the Lightning tip caps lower. Charging slows as any phone passes 80 percent, by design.
Can the Amaya APB-F231 charge a laptop?
Yes, within limits. The 45W rating matches the stock adapter on a MacBook Air M2 and covers most USB-C ultrabooks during light work such as email, browsing, Word, and Zoom calls. Heavier loads like video export drain the machine faster than the pack refills it. A steady 45W draw also empties the 74Wh reserve in roughly one and a half laptop battery cycles. Treat it as cover during a blackout or a long airport wait, not as a permanent desk supply.
Do I still need to carry a cable with the APB-F231?
For most phones, no. Two cables sit inside the chassis a USB-C one for Android handsets, iPhone 15 and newer, iPads and earbuds, plus a Lightning one for iPhone 14 and older. Both stretch out when needed and pull back flush afterwards, so nothing tangles at the bottom of a bag. The separate USB-A port stays free for a colleague's own cable or an older micro-USB device, which keeps one pack useful across a whole household.
What does the LED display actually show?
The front screen reports remaining charge as a live numeric percentage rather than four vague dots. You see 68 percent instead of guessing between half and three-quarters, which matters when deciding whether to top up before leaving Westlands for a full day in the field. The screen also stays lit while the pack itself refills, telling you when it has finished rather than leaving it plugged in all night. That habit alone extends cell life.
How long does the Amaya APB-F231 take to recharge itself?
Amaya does not publish an input rating for this model, and Mascom International will not invent one.As a working guide, a 20000mAh pack fed by a 20W or stronger USB-C wall adapter usually needs four to six hours from empty. A 5W charger stretches that across a full night, so pair it with a proper adapter.
Can I fly with the Amaya APB-F231 from JKIA?
Yes. At 20000mAh the pack rates around 74Wh, under the 100Wh ceiling airlines apply, so Kenya Airways, Jambojet, and international carriers accept it in hand luggage. It must travel in the cabin and never in checked baggage, a rule covering every lithium battery rather than this model alone. Keep it in an outer pocket for quick screening at JKIA or Moi International, and carry it charged, since some crews ask you to power it on.
Why buy this over a cheaper unbranded 20000mAh power bank?
Unbranded packs sold cheaply around Nairobi often print capacity figures the cells inside cannot support, and many stop holding charge within months. The Amaya APB-F231 is a distributed brand product with a stated 45W output, a model number you can look up independently, and a 6-month Mascom International warranty claimable at a physical counter in Nairobi CBD. If it fails inside that window, you know exactly where to bring it back, and who will handle it.
Technical Specifications
Battery Capacity and Real Charge Output
- Rated 20000mAh lithium cell at roughly 74Wh, sitting under the 100Wh airline limit for cabin baggage.
- Usable output lands near 13,000mAh after 3.7V to 5V conversion losses, which every battery pack incurs.
- Refills a 5000mAh Tecno, Infinix, or Redmi handset about 2.6 times from one full charge.
- Covers roughly 3.9 iPhone 15 charges or 3.2 Samsung Galaxy S24 charges before needing a socket.
- Enough reserve for a two-day upcountry trip where mains supply is unreliable or rationed.
- Capacity also runs earbuds, a watch, and a phone together across one long working day.
Charging Speed and Fast-Charge Protocol Support
- USB-C port rated up to 45W, matching Samsung Super Fast Charging on the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
- iPhone 15 Pro reaches roughly 50 percent in about 30 minutes over a USB-C to USB-C link.
- USB-A output supports Quick Charge for older Android handsets that never moved to USB-C.
- Charging rate always follows the slower of the two devices, so an 18W phone draws 18W.
Built-in Cables and Port Layout
- Two cables built into the chassis: one USB-C tip and one Lightning tip for older iPhones.
- Telescopic cables stretch clear of the body during use, then retract flush against the casing.
- The USB-C port handles both output and refilling, so a single wall cable covers everything.
- USB-A port stays free for a passenger's own cable, a micro-USB torch, or older earbuds.
- Two ports plus two cables let several devices draw at once during a family road trip.
- Total output splits across connected devices, so individual speeds drop when three things charge together.
Digital Readout and Safety Protection
- Front LED screen reports remaining charge as a numeric percentage instead of four indicator dots.
- Percentage readout removes guesswork before leaving home, the office, or a client site upcountry.
- Screen stays active while the pack refills, showing clearly when it has actually reached full.
- Multi-protection circuitry guards against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, and heat build-up during use.
- Automatic cut-off stops output when nothing is connected, protecting the reserve between charging sessions.
Device Compatibility Across Phones, Tablets, and Laptops
- Works with iPhone, Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Redmi, Oppo, vivo, and OnePlus handsets sold locally.
- Charges iPads, Samsung Galaxy Tab models, and Android tablets through the built-in USB-C cable.
- Supports MacBook Air, Dell XPS, HP Pavilion, and other USB-C laptops during light work sessions.
- Runs earbuds, watches, Bluetooth speakers, GoPro cameras, and Nintendo Switch in handheld mode.
- Lightning cable covers iPhone 14, 13, 12, SE, and older iPads still in daily use.
- Feeds a Safaricom or Airtel MiFi router during a blackout, keeping home internet running longer.
Build, Size, and Daily Carry
- Casing sized to slide into a laptop bag, handbag, or roomy jacket pocket without bulging.
- Weight sits where a 20000mAh pack should, noticeably heavier than a 10000mAh unit in hand.
- Retractable cables mean no loose cords to snag inside a bag during a matatu commute.
- Textured finish helps grip while charging on the move, whether standing in traffic or on site.
- Closed casing limits dust ingress on Thika Road and Mombasa Road runs, though it is not waterproof.

Warranty
The Amaya APB-F231 carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty on manufacturing defects under normal use. Battery packs age with charge cycles, so cover applies to faults such as a failed port, a dead screen, or a cell that stops holding charge not to physical damage or liquid exposure. Claims are handled directly at our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street.
