Amaya PowerBox 800 APB-80 is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 5,100, carrying an advertised 80,000mAh cell rating, 22.5W Power Delivery output, built-in charging cables and a digital percentage readout. Every unit arrives brand new and sealed. You can buy the Amaya PowerBox 800 APB-80 over the counter at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. At that price the APB-80 works out far cheaper per unit of stored charge than most 20,000mAh branded banks, which is why Kenyan buyers keep asking about it.
Three groups buy this size of battery in Kenya. Field officers and NGO staff working across Turkana, Marsabit and Garissa go days between working sockets. Boda riders, matatu crews and open-air traders run phones for M-Pesa payments from morning to night with no socket nearby. Households in estates hit by long Kenya Power outages need something that keeps phones, routers and lamps alive until supply returns. A 10,000mAh bank empties after two phone charges and then becomes dead weight in the bag. The APB-80 is made for people who cannot plan their day around a wall socket.
Unlike the unbranded 50,000mAh units sold on the street with no protection circuitry and nobody to return to, the Amaya PowerBox 800 APB-80 carries over-current, short-circuit, over-charge and temperature cut-offs, plus a 6-month warranty from a shop you can walk into. At Mascom International we are seeing steady demand for banks above 50,000mAh as outage complaints rise and phone batteries grow past 5,000mAh. Users consistently report that one full APB-80 covers a working week of phone top-ups for a small household.

Common Questions About the Amaya PowerBox 800 APB-80
How many phone charges does the Amaya PowerBox 800 APB-80 actually give?
Expect roughly nine to eleven full charges of a 5,000mAh phone. The 80,000mAh rating is measured at the cells' 3.7V nominal voltage. Stepping that up to the 5V your phone accepts costs energy, so usable output lands near 48,000mAh to 56,000mAh at 5V. Split across a household, that is about a week of top-ups for three or four phones. Earbuds, watches and Bluetooth speakers draw far less and stretch it much further.
Is the 80,000mAh figure on the APB-80 honest?
The number is the cell rating at 3.7V, not the charge your phone receives. That applies to every power bank sold in Kenya, branded or not. Amaya publishes no independent test data, so treat 80,000mAh as an advertised rating rather than a verified one. What matters is the real-world result of nine to eleven charges of a large phone battery. Mascom International states this openly instead of repeating the box figure as usable capacity.
How long does the PowerBox 800 APB-80 take to refill?
Plan for an overnight charge and then some. A pack this size holds close to 296Wh of energy, and at 22.5W input that is over thirteen hours before losses are counted. Amaya does not publish an official refill time. In practice, plug it in on a Friday evening and it is ready by Saturday afternoon. Use a 20W or stronger USB-C charger, because a 5W phone charger will take days.
Can the APB-80 charge a laptop?
Not properly, and no honest seller should tell you otherwise. Its 22.5W Power Delivery output sits below the 45W to 65W most USB-C laptops need. A low-draw Chromebook or a sleeping ultraportable may creep up slowly, but a laptop in use will drain faster than it fills. Ask Mascom International about banks rated 65W or higher for laptop duty. The APB-80 is built for phones, tablets, earbuds, routers, cameras and lamps.
Can I take the PowerBox 800 APB-80 on a flight?
No. Airlines follow the IATA limit of 100 watt-hours for batteries carried in the cabin, with 160Wh allowed only by prior airline approval. An 80,000mAh pack at 3.7V works out near 296Wh, far above both figures. Kenya Airways, Jambojet and international carriers will refuse it at the gate, and it cannot travel in checked baggage either. For flying, pick a 20,000mAh bank at roughly 74Wh instead.
Can it charge two or three devices at the same time?
Yes. The APB-80 carries a USB-C port and a USB-A output alongside its built-in cables, so a phone, a tablet and an earbuds case can draw together. Shared output means each device fills more slowly than it would alone. For the quickest result on a single phone, use the USB-C port by itself.
Do the built-in cables mean I can leave my own cable at home?
For most daily use, yes. The integrated cables stay attached to the body, which is the main reason travellers pick this model over a plain brick. Confirm which connector types your unit carries when you collect it, since Amaya does not list them publicly. Carry one spare cable anyway. Attached cables are the part most likely to wear out first, and they cannot be swapped out.
Is the APB-80 worth KSh 5,100 next to a 20,000mAh bank?
On stored charge, yes. A decent branded 20,000mAh bank costs around KSh 3,000, which works out near KSh 150 per 1,000mAh. The APB-80 lands close to KSh 64 per 1,000mAh, under half that rate. The trade-off is weight and bulk. If you carry a bank in your pocket every day, buy smaller. If it lives in a bag, a vehicle or at home for outages, this makes more sense.
How do I order the PowerBox 800 APB-80 and when does it arrive?

Technical Specifications
Battery Capacity and Real-World Charge Cycles
- Advertised 80,000mAh lithium polymer rating measured at 3.7V nominal, the standard reference used across the category.
- Usable output at 5V lands near 48,000mAh to 56,000mAh after step-up losses, the figure reaching your phone.
- Roughly nine to eleven full charges of a 5,000mAh phone battery, covering a household week of top-ups.
- Around fifteen to eighteen charges for a 3,000mAh handset, the size still common on upcountry feature phones.
- Energy content sits close to 296Wh, which is the reason the unit is grounded from air travel.
Charging Output and Fast-Charge Support
- 22.5W Power Delivery output refills a compatible phone from empty to roughly half in about thirty minutes.
- Power Delivery is the USB-C fast-charge standard used by Samsung, Apple, Tecno, Infinix and Xiaomi handsets.
- The USB-A side suits older Android phones and accessories that never moved across to USB-C connectors.
- Output steps down automatically for low-draw items such as earbuds, fitness bands and small Bluetooth speakers.
- 22.5W sits below laptop needs, since most USB-C notebooks want 45W to 65W while actively running.
Ports, Built-In Cables and Multi-Device Use
- USB-C port handles both input and output, so one cable type covers refilling and device charging.
- USB-A output serves older cables, car adapters and accessories still using the rectangular connector.
- Built-in attached cables remove the need to carry loose leads on matatu commutes or field trips.
- Two or three devices can draw at once, with available output shared between whatever is connected.
Recharge Input and Refill Expectations
- Refilling runs through the USB-C input using any standard phone or tablet wall adapter you own.
- A 20W or stronger adapter is worth using, because 5W chargers stretch refill time into days.
- Expect an overnight charge plus part of the following day when starting from a fully empty pack.
- Partial top-ups work fine, so plug in whenever mains supply returns rather than waiting for empty.
- Lithium cells last longer kept between twenty and eighty percent than repeatedly run flat and refilled.
Digital Readout and Safety Protection
- Digital LED screen shows remaining charge as a percentage instead of four vague indicator bars.
- Percentage readout lets you decide whether to charge the tablet now or save capacity for phones.
- Over-charge protection cuts input once cells reach full, guarding against damage during long unattended charging sessions.
- Over-current and short-circuit cut-offs stop output when a faulty cable or connector creates a dangerous fault.
- Temperature monitoring slows or halts flow when the pack heats up, useful in Mombasa and Kisumu.
Build, Portability and Device Compatibility
- Hard plastic shell with rounded corners survives being tossed into a backpack or a vehicle glovebox.
- Weight and bulk suit bag, desk, vehicle or household use rather than daily pocket carry.
- Works with iPhone, Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Xiaomi and any USB-powered device drawing five volts.
- Charges tablets, earbuds, speakers, Wi-Fi routers, camping lamps, cameras and rechargeable fans without extra adapters.
- Suits Safaricom and Airtel mobile routers during outages, keeping home internet alive for several hours.
