Amaya PowerBox 600 APB-60 is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 4,000, brand new and sealed, at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The APB-60 carries a 60,000mAh rated lithium cell, 22.5W Power Delivery output, both USB-C and USB-A ports, integrated charging cables so you carry nothing extra, and a numeric battery readout on the front panel. At KSh 4,000, the Amaya PowerBox 600 sits at roughly the same price as a branded 10,000mAh pocket pack, but takes a completely different approach: capacity over portability. This is a stay-in-the-bag reserve, not a shirt-pocket accessory.
The Amaya PowerBox 600 APB-60 suits long-distance matatu and shuttle passengers on the Nairobi-Kisumu and Nairobi-Mombasa runs, boda riders working 14-hour shifts, field surveyors and agricultural extension officers in Narok and Bungoma, event photographers, and households that lose grid power for hours at a stretch. One problem drives most of these purchases: a 10,000mAh pack empties itself after refilling two phones, leaving the rest of the family or work crew without options. The APB-60 answers that by holding enough charge for several people across several days, and by charging two devices at once so nobody queues for a turn.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that quote headline mAh figures without explaining what those figures actually return, Mascom International states the arithmetic openly: rated capacity, conversion losses, realistic charge counts, and the airline restriction that applies to any pack this size. Buyers consistently report that a high-capacity pack changes their charging habits entirely, since one refill of the PowerBox 600 covers a week of commuting rather than a single day. Visit Mascom International on Kimathi Street to handle the Amaya PowerBox 600 APB-60 before you buy, or order it for countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Amaya PowerBox 600 APB-60
How many full phone charges does the Amaya PowerBox 600 APB-60 give?
Working from the 60,000mAh rating, roughly 36,000mAh reaches your device after voltage conversion losses of about 40 percent. That returns around seven full charges of a 5,000mAh Tecno Spark or Infinix Hot battery, about eight refills of a 4,000mAh Samsung Galaxy A17, or six charges of a 6,000mAh Redmi Note. Split across a family of three phones, the APB-60 typically covers two to three days between its own refills. Tablets and Bluetooth speakers draw more, shortening that window.
Is the 60,000mAh figure on the APB-60 accurate?
Treat it as a rated figure rather than a measured one. Amaya publishes no independent test data, and budget high-capacity packs across the Kenyan market frequently return less than their labels suggest.Mascom International prefers stating this plainly.
How fast does the APB-60 charge a phone?
The 22.5W output moves a 5,000mAh Android battery from empty to roughly 50 percent in about 30 minutes, provided the phone itself supports 22.5W or higher input. Samsung Galaxy A and M series, Tecno, Infinix, and Xiaomi handsets negotiate this speed over USB-C. Older phones capped at 10W will draw only 10W, which is a limitation of the handset rather than the PowerBox 600. Charging two devices at once splits the wattage between them.
Can the Amaya PowerBox 600 APB-60 charge a laptop?
No, not as a practical laptop charger. At 22.5W the APB-60 sits far below the 45W to 100W that Windows ultrabooks and MacBooks require, so most laptops either refuse the connection or drain while plugged in. It handles phones, tablets, Bluetooth earbuds, smartwatches, portable speakers, Wi-Fi routers with USB input, and rechargeable torches comfortably. For laptop charging, Mascom International stocks 100W-class packs separately, and our Kimathi Street counter staff will match one to your machine.
How long does the APB-60 itself take to refill?
Plan for a long recharge. A pack of this rated size draws several times the energy of a normal 10,000mAh unit, so overnight charging from a wall socket is the realistic approach rather than a quick top-up between errands.Leaving the APB-60 on charge overnight, twice a week, suits most household and commuting patterns across Nairobi and upcountry towns alike.
Can I carry the APB-60 on a flight from JKIA?
No. A genuine 60,000mAh pack works out to roughly 222 watt-hours, which sits well above the 100Wh IATA carry-on threshold and above the 160Wh ceiling airlines apply even with prior approval. Kenya Airways, Jambojet, and international carriers all follow this rule, so the APB-60 is a road, rail, and household product. For flying, choose a pack rated at 20,000mAh or below, which Mascom International stocks in several brands at comparable prices.
Does the APB-60 help during power blackouts at home?
Yes, and this is a common reason Kenyan buyers choose high-capacity packs. During a Kenya Power outage the APB-60 keeps several phones alive, runs a USB desk fan or LED lamp, and can hold a USB-powered Wi-Fi router online for a stretch. Households in Kiambu, Machakos, and Nakuru that see repeated outages get more practical value from one large pack than from three small ones, since a single overnight refill covers the whole household.
Do I need to carry my own cables with the PowerBox 600?
Not for everyday use. The Amaya PowerBox 600 ships with charging cables attached to the body itself, so a forgotten cable no longer strands you. The separate USB-A and USB-C ports remain free for your own cables when you need to charge a device the built-in leads do not fit.Bring the phone you intend to charge when you visit our Kimathi Street counter.
Is the APB-60 worth KSh 4,000 against a branded 10,000mAh pack?
It depends on what you are solving. A branded 10,000mAh pack at the same money gives verified capacity, airline clearance, and pocket portability with about two phone charges. The Amaya PowerBox 600 APB-60 gives several times that reserve for shared and off-grid use, at the cost of weight, slow refills, and a rated capacity nobody has independently measured. Choose by use case, not by headline numbers, and handle both types at our Nairobi CBD store before deciding.
Technical Specifications
Battery Capacity and Real-World Output
- Rated capacity of 60,000mAh at nominal 3.7 volts, which works out to approximately 222 watt-hours of stored energy
- Usable output lands near 36,000mAh at 5 volts once voltage conversion and heat losses of roughly 40 percent are subtracted
- Capacity supports around seven refills of a 5,000mAh Android battery or eight refills of a 4,000mAh handset
- Lithium chemistry type is not published by Amaya, so cycle life and cell grade cannot be stated with confidence
- Capacity figure is a manufacturer rating rather than an independently measured result, which Mascom International states openly
- Sharing the pack across three phones typically covers two to three days of normal use between refills
Charging Speed and Power Delivery Support
- 22.5W output covers USB Power Delivery on the USB-C port for phones and tablets that negotiate PD charging
- 22.5W moves a 5,000mAh Android battery to roughly 50 percent in about 30 minutes on compatible handsets
- Output speed is capped by whichever side is slower, so a 10W phone draws 10W regardless of the pack rating
- Wattage sits below the 45W to 100W range that laptops need, making this a phone and tablet product
- Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, and Oppo handsets sold in Kenya negotiate PD speeds over the USB-C connection
- Simultaneous charging splits available wattage between connected devices, so two phones each charge slower than one
Ports, Built-in Cables, and Multi-Device Charging
- USB-C port handles both input and output, letting one connection refill the pack and charge devices
- USB-A port covers older phones, Bluetooth speakers, torches, and accessories that still use standard rectangular connectors
- Integrated charging cables attach to the pack body, removing the common problem of arriving somewhere without a lead
- Free ports remain available for your own cables when a built-in lead does not match your device
- Multiple outputs let a household or work crew charge several devices at once instead of taking turns
- Exact built-in connector types and total port count are not documented by Amaya and need confirmation in store
Battery Readout and Controls
- Front-panel numeric display reports remaining charge as a percentage instead of the four-LED strips found on cheaper packs
- Percentage readout removes guesswork about whether enough reserve remains for an overnight trip or a long outage
- Single power button wakes the pack and starts output when a device is connected to either port
- Display visibility under direct equatorial sun matters for outdoor field use and should be checked in person
- Percentage readings on unverified packs can drift from actual remaining capacity, so treat the figure as approximate
- Readout also confirms the pack is actively receiving charge when connected to a wall adapter overnight
Recharging the Pack and Practical Runtime
- Overnight wall charging is the realistic refill method given the rated capacity, rather than short top-ups between errands
- Input wattage is not published by Amaya, so refill time cannot be stated precisely without the unit in hand
- Two overnight refills per week suit most commuting, field work, and household blackout patterns in Kenya
- A higher-wattage wall adapter shortens refill time if the pack supports fast input, which needs confirmation
- Keeping the pack above 20 percent charge extends lithium cell life across months of repeated use
- Charging the pack and a phone at the same time is possible on many designs but is undocumented here
Build, Portability, and Travel Limits
- Weight and dimensions are not published by Amaya, though packs of this rated size typically approach one kilogram
- Physical size makes this a backpack, glovebox, or bedside product rather than a shirt-pocket accessory
- Roughly 222 watt-hours exceeds the 100Wh airline carry-on limit and the 160Wh approved ceiling entirely
- Kenya Airways, Jambojet, and international carriers refuse packs in this class, so plan road and rail travel only
- Dust resistance and drop protection are undocumented, so a padded bag compartment is sensible during matatu transit
- Keep the pack out of parked vehicles in direct Nairobi sun, since heat shortens lithium cell life considerably
