Mascom International stocks the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery at KSh 320, a brand new and sealed 1200mAh lithium-ion cell built to the BL-4UL code. That code is one of the long-standing Nokia-style battery codes found in many feature phones. The Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery comes from Amaya, a Chinese accessories brand, and we sell it from our first-floor shop in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Walk in with your phone, and we will hold your old battery beside the new one so you can see the codes match before paying.
Designed for buyers who keep a basic phone running for years, the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery serves M-Pesa agents, watchmen on night shifts, elderly parents who prefer big buttons, and traders who want a backup line that never needs a data bundle. The trouble usually starts slowly. The phone shuts off mid-call, the charge icon drops overnight, or the cell feels warm while charging. A new 1200mAh pack replaces the tired one with no tools. Families also send a spare Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery upcountry so a grandparent's phone stays reachable when charging points are far away.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that keep batteries loose in a drawer, Mascom International sells the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery in sealed retail packaging with a 6-month warranty. At Mascom International, we're seeing more customers repair dependable old handsets rather than replace them, and a fresh cell is the cheapest way to do that. Visit us in Nairobi CBD from Monday to Saturday, or order the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery on WhatsApp and pay on arrival in any of Kenya's 47 counties. Our staff will confirm the code with you first, so the cell you receive is the one your phone takes.
Common Questions About the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery
What is the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery price in Kenya?
The Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery sells for KSh 320 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. You get the 1200mAh lithium-ion cell, a 6-month Mascom warranty covering manufacturing defects, and the option of pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. There is no charger in the pack, since the cell charges in your phone as normal. Beside it on our shelf, the Amaya BL-5C Replacement Battery costs KSh 300, a KSh 20 difference, though the two codes are not interchangeable.
Which phones use the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery?
The Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery suits any phone whose original battery carries the BL-4UL code, a long-standing Nokia-style code used in many feature phones. We do not publish a model list, because makers reuse and change codes, and a list can mislead. The reliable test is simple. Open the back cover, read the code printed on the old battery, and look for a matching sticker in the bay. If it says BL-4UL, this cell is the right size and shape. WhatsApp us a photo if the label has faded.
Should I choose the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery or the Amaya BL-5C Replacement Battery?
Choose the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery only if your phone's battery reads BL-4UL, and the Amaya BL-5C Replacement Battery only if it reads BL-5C. On paper, the BL-4UL stores 1200mAh against the BL-5C's 1020mAh and costs KSh 320 against KSh 300. In practice the two have different shapes and contact positions, so neither sits properly in the other's bay. Both are Nokia-style codes, which is why people mix them up at kiosks. Match the code on your old cell, not the bigger number.
Can I keep the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery as a spare for KPLC blackouts and long trips?
A charged Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery makes a sensible spare for KPLC blackouts, long bus rides to Kisumu or Mombasa, and upcountry visits where sockets are scarce. Charge it fully in the phone, then store it at room temperature in a small pouch or its packaging, away from coins and keys. Check and top it up every few weeks, because lithium-ion cells slowly lose charge in storage. Never leave a spare in a parked car or on a sunny window ledge, since heat shortens its life.
Why does my old BL-4UL battery run flat so quickly?
An old BL-4UL battery runs flat quickly because every lithium-ion cell loses capacity with each charge cycle, and after long daily use it holds far less than its rated 1200mAh. Signs include the phone switching off at half charge, the percentage jumping suddenly, or the cell feeling warm. Weak Safaricom or Airtel signal also adds drain, because the phone keeps searching for a network. Fitting the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery restores fresh capacity, though signal-related drain will continue in the same spot.
Who should buy the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery, and who is it not for?
The Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery is for owners of BL-4UL phones whose battery is worn, swollen or lost, and for anyone keeping a backup handset alive for calls and M-Pesa. It is not for smartphones with built-in batteries, which need a repair technician. It is also wrong for phones coded BL-5C, BL-20JT or a Safaricom Neon Ray battery, as Amaya sells those under their own codes. If your phone works fine but runs out of charge on long days, a power bank is the better buy.
How do I fit the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery in my phone?
Fitting the Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery takes no tools and no technician. Switch the phone off, slide or lift off the back cover, and remove the old battery by its notch. Line up the metal contacts on the new cell with the pins in the bay, press it down gently, and refit the cover. Switch on and charge fully before heavy use. A brand new cell may take a few cycles to show its full capacity. If the cover will not close flat, stop and recheck the code.
How can I tell a real Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery from a fake one?
A real Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery comes sealed in Amaya retail packaging, with the code and 1200mAh rating printed clearly on the cell. Fakes sold around River Road often carry blurred print, stickers placed over older labels, or capacity claims far above what the code normally holds. Some feel unusually light in the hand. The surest protection is buying from a shop that will still be there next month. At Mascom International you get a receipt, a 6-month warranty and a Nairobi CBD service desk.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Capacity
- Lithium-ion cell — the standard rechargeable chemistry in mobile phones, which accepts top-ups at any charge level without needing to run flat first.
- 1200mAh capacity — the stored charge printed on the cell; a fresh pack gives back the hours an ageing battery has slowly lost through daily cycles.
- BL-4UL code — the identifier that fixes the cell's size, shape and contact layout, so a matching code means a matching fit in your phone.
- Charges in the handset — your phone's own charger and port top it up, so no cradle, adapter or separate charging dock is required.
- Settling period — charge fully before first heavy use, and expect the cell to reach steady day-to-day performance after a few complete charge cycles.
Compatibility
- Nokia-style battery code — BL-4UL is a long-standing code used across many feature phones, which is why replacements are still widely sought in Kenya.
- Check the printed code — read the label on your old battery and the sticker inside the bay; both should say BL-4UL before you buy.
- No guessed model list — we avoid compatibility lists that can mislead; a WhatsApp photo of your old cell lets our staff confirm the fit quickly.
- Not interchangeable with BL-5C — although both are Nokia-style codes, their shapes and contact positions differ, so each fits only its own phones.
- Sealed-battery phones excluded — handsets without a removable back cover need a technician's repair rather than a slot-in cell like this one.
Build
- Sealed retail packaging — the cell reaches you untouched, which matters because loose or previously fitted batteries can hide damage or hidden ageing.
- Printed label — the BL-4UL code and 1200mAh rating appear on the cell itself, giving you an easy side-by-side check against your old battery.
- Metal contact pads — these meet the spring pins in your phone; wipe them with a dry cloth if dust builds up after months in a pocket.
- Standard BL-4UL outline — cut to the same footprint as the original code, so the battery sits flat and the back cover closes normally.
- Fresh stock — never fitted to another phone before sale, so its full charge-cycle life begins on the day you install it.
Inclusions and Value
- One Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery — a single cell, the only item in the pack, ready to fit once the old battery is out.
- 6-month warranty — Mascom International covers manufacturing defects under normal use, with claims handled in person at our Nairobi CBD service desk.
- KSh 320 price — roughly KSh 1.75 a day over the six-month warranty, far cheaper than replacing a phone that otherwise still works well.
- Code check at the counter — bring your phone and our staff confirm the match before you pay, at no extra charge to you.
- Pay-on-arrival delivery — order by WhatsApp or phone and pay only when the battery reaches your door, in any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Package Contents
Inside the pack you will find one Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery and nothing more. No charger or cable is included, because the cell charges in your phone through the charger you already use. Owners of several BL-4UL phones, such as agents running more than one line, can charge loose spares outside the handset with the Amaya M10 Universal Battery Charger, sold separately at Mascom International for KSh 480. Keep the packaging until you are sure the fit is right.
Warranty
The Amaya BL-4UL Replacement Battery carries Mascom International's 6-month warranty, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. A cell that will not charge or hold charge because of a defect is handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street, so bring the battery along when you visit.
