Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 620, as a brand new and sealed 2000mAh lithium-ion cell rated at 3.8V. It comes on Amaya's orange blister card marked "High Capacity Battery", so you can read the code before you pay. The Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery is made for removable-battery phones whose old cell or inner label reads BL-20JT. Amaya is a Chinese accessories brand, and Mascom International stocks its full battery range at our shop on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, in Nairobi CBD, where you can compare codes side by side.
Built for people across Kenya who depend on a simple phone all day, the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery suits mama mboga traders, boda boda riders, M-Pesa agents and anyone keeping a second phone for calls. The usual problem is easy to spot. A phone that once ran for days now dies before evening, or the old cell has started to bulge under the back cover. A fresh 2000mAh cell brings back the standby time a worn battery has lost. It also matters during KPLC outages, when a charged phone becomes the family's link to relatives upcountry.
Where most phone-repair kiosks on Moi Avenue and River Road sell unbranded cells labelled "original" with no comeback, Mascom International sells the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery sealed, with a printed code and a 6-month warranty. Customers across Nairobi tell us their biggest worry with cheap batteries is swelling after a few weeks, so we keep stock fresh and packaging intact. Bring your phone or the old battery to Kimathi Street and we will match the code with you before you pay. If you prefer to order from home, we deliver the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery to all 47 counties with payment on arrival.
Common Questions About the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery
How much is the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery in Kenya?
The Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery costs KSh 620 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price covers the 2000mAh, 3.8V cell, Mascom's 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. No charger comes in the pack, because the battery charges inside your phone with the charger you already use. For context, the Amaya BL-24EI Replacement Battery in the same range costs KSh 640, only KSh 20 more, but it carries a different code and fits different phones.
How do I know if the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery fits my phone?
The Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery fits only phones that take a battery coded BL-20JT, so check that code before buying. Switch the phone off, remove the back cover and lift out the old battery. The code is printed on its label, and many phones repeat it on a sticker inside the battery bay. If both say BL-20JT, this cell shares the same size, contact layout and voltage. If the code differs at all, do not force it. Send a clear photo of the old battery to our WhatsApp and we will confirm the match.
Is the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery better than the BL-24EI, which has more mAh?
The Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery and the Amaya BL-24EI Replacement Battery are not interchangeable, so the better choice is whichever matches your phone's code. The BL-24EI holds 2400mAh against 2000mAh here and costs KSh 640, yet a bigger rating means nothing if the cell will not sit in your battery bay or line up with the contacts. Forcing a mismatched battery can bend the terminals or damage the phone. Pick the BL-20JT if your old cell reads BL-20JT, and pick the BL-24EI only when your phone's label says BL-24EI.
How should I charge and care for the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery in Kenyan heat and power cuts?
Charge the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery fully the first time, then use it normally, since a new cell may take a few charge cycles to settle. Heat is the main enemy of lithium-ion cells, so never leave the phone charging on a matatu dashboard in direct sun or beside a hot jiko. During KPLC outages, topping up from a power bank is fine as long as the phone stays cool. If the battery ever swells, lifts the back cover or smells unusual, stop using it at once and replace it.
What does the 2000mAh rating on the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery mean for my phone?
The 2000mAh rating tells you how much charge the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery stores, which sets how long your phone runs between charges. The letters mAh stand for milliamp-hours, a measure of stored charge at the cell's rated 3.8V. Real standby and talk time depend on your handset, network signal and screen use, so they vary from phone to phone. In weak-signal areas, a phone works harder to hold a Safaricom or Airtel connection and drains faster. A fresh cell restores the capacity an old battery lost over months of daily charging.
Who should buy the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery, and who should skip it?
Buy the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery if your phone's old cell is coded BL-20JT and it no longer holds charge, has swollen, or has gone missing. It also suits anyone reviving a spare phone for M-Pesa or calls. Skip it if your phone has a sealed battery that cannot be removed, as most modern smartphones do. Skip it too if your label reads BL-24EI, BL-5C or a Neon Ray code, since Amaya sells those as separate batteries. If you simply need extra power on the move, the Amaya APB-P128 Power Bank fits better.
Is the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery safe to use?
The Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery is safe when it matches your phone's code and is handled like any lithium-ion cell. Never puncture, crush or bend it, and keep a loose spare away from coins and keys in a pocket, which can short the contacts. Do not throw an old battery into a fire or a rubbish pit; take it to an e-waste collection point instead. Store a spare at room temperature, partly charged and out of children's reach. Any swelling means the cell must be replaced, never pressed back into place.
Why buy the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery from Mascom International instead of a street stall?
Mascom International sells the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery sealed on its branded card, with a printed code and a 6-month warranty, which most street stalls cannot offer. Loose cells sold from stalls are often relabelled as "original" with no way to trace where they came from. With a walk-in shop in Nairobi CBD, you know exactly where to bring a faulty cell. Buyers throughout Kenya report that a known brand with a receipt saves the cost of buying twice. You can also order on WhatsApp and pay when it arrives.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Cell Type
- Lithium-ion chemistry — the rechargeable cell type used in most phones, so it holds charge well and can be topped up at any level.
- 2000mAh capacity — the amount of charge the cell stores; a fresh cell restores the standby time a worn battery has lost over months.
- 3.8V rated voltage — the working voltage your phone expects from its battery; matching the BL-20JT code keeps this figure correct for your handset.
- Removable design — slots into the battery bay under the back cover, so swapping it needs no tools, no technician and no software setup.
- Charges inside the phone — no separate dock is needed, because your existing phone charger tops up the new cell exactly as before.
- First-charge advice — charge fully before first use and expect a few cycles before the cell reaches its settled day-to-day performance.
Compatibility
- Model code BL-20JT — fits phones whose old battery or inner label reads BL-20JT, matching size, contact layout and voltage in one check.
- Code-first matching — always go by the printed code rather than the phone's brand, because battery codes cross brands and similar names can differ.
- No guessed phone lists — we do not publish model lists; send a photo of your old battery on WhatsApp and our staff confirm the fit.
- Removable-battery phones only — handsets with sealed, non-removable batteries need a technician's repair, not a slot-in replacement cell like this one.
- Loose-cell charging option — a spare cell can also be charged outside the phone with the Amaya M10 Universal Battery Charger, sold separately.
Build and Packaging
- Orange Amaya blister card — sealed retail packaging marked "High Capacity Battery", letting you see the cell is untouched before you open it.
- Printed cell label — the code, capacity and voltage are printed on the battery itself, the details you compare against your old one.
- Flat metal contacts — pads that meet the spring pins in your phone; keep them clean and free of dust for a steady, reliable connection.
- Standard BL-20JT footprint — shaped to the same outline as the code it replaces, so the back cover should close flat without pressure.
- Brand new stock — never stored loose or taken from another phone, which matters because lithium-ion cells slowly age even when unused.
Inclusions and Value
- One Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery — the only item in the pack, ready to fit as soon as the old cell comes out.
- 6-month Mascom warranty — covers manufacturing defects under normal use, with every claim handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- KSh 620 price — works out to about KSh 3.40 a day across the six-month warranty period, less than a single SMS bundle.
- Free code check — staff compare your old battery with the new one at the counter before you pay, so you leave with the right cell.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — order on WhatsApp or by phone and pay only when the battery reaches you, anywhere in Kenya.
Package Contents
The Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery comes as a single sealed cell on Amaya's orange blister card, and nothing else is in the pack. There is no charger, cable or back cover, because the battery charges inside your phone with the charger you already own. If you want to charge a spare cell outside the phone, the Amaya M10 Universal Battery Charger is sold separately at Mascom International for KSh 480. Keep the card until you have confirmed the fit.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Amaya BL-20JT Replacement Battery with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If the cell arrives faulty or stops holding charge through a defect within that period, bring it to our Nairobi CBD service desk at the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, where claims are handled directly.
