The Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger is available at Mascom International for KSh 4,500, brand new and sealed, with a 30W USB-C port and a second USB-A port in one small plug. The Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger slots into a standard car lighter socket and sits low against the dashboard, so it stays clear of gear levers, cup holders and passing knees. Anker designed the USB-C port to fast charge phones such as the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro. You can see it and test it at our store on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for ride-hailing drivers, sales teams and field engineers across Kenya, the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger keeps two phones running through a long day on the road. Navigation apps, WhatsApp calls and M-Pesa confirmations drain a battery quickly, especially in slow traffic on Mombasa Road or Thika Road. Arriving at a client meeting in Upper Hill with 5% battery costs more than any charger. Plug the driver's phone into the USB-C port and a passenger's phone into the USB-A port, and both charge together. Anker's MultiProtect system watches voltage, current and heat, so your phone stays protected if the car's supply fluctuates.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded car chargers that run hot and stop working within weeks, Mascom International stocks genuine Anker units in sealed boxes with a warranty you can claim in person. Customers across Nairobi tell us the low profile matters more than they expected, because a bulky plug gets knocked loose on rough roads. Buyers throughout Kenya report that two ports end the argument over who charges first on trips to Nakuru or Eldoret.

Common Questions About the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger
How much is the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger in Kenya?
The Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger costs KSh 4,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the charger itself, a 6-month Mascom International warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. A charging cable is not included, so you use the cables you already own. If you need laptop-level power on the road, the Anker Nano Car Charger 75W 2-in-1 costs KSh 5,000, only KSh 500 more, and adds a built-in retractable USB-C cable.
Can the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger fast charge an iPhone 15?
Yes, Anker built the 30W USB-C port of the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger to fast charge the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro. Use a USB-C to USB-C cable for the newer iPhones, or a USB-C to Lightning cable for older models that support fast charging. The same port suits Samsung Galaxy, Tecno, Infinix and Redmi phones that accept USB-C Power Delivery. Phones still charging from the USB-A port charge at a slower, standard rate, which suits a passenger who only needs a top-up.
How does the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger compare with the Anker Nano Car Charger 75W 2-in-1?
The Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger is a low-profile plug with one 30W USB-C port and one USB-A port, while the Anker Nano Car Charger 75W 2-in-1 offers 75W across a retractable USB-C cable and a USB-C port. The Nano model can charge a MacBook or USB-C laptop and keeps its cable attached. The Ultra-Compact model costs KSh 500 less and still supports older USB-A cables. Choose the Ultra-Compact for phones only; choose the 75W unit if a laptop rides in your car.
Is the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger useful during KPLC power cuts?
Yes, the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger turns a parked car with the engine running into a phone charging point during KPLC outages. Many families in Nairobi estates and upcountry towns already do this when blackouts stretch into the evening. Keep the engine on while charging, because many car sockets switch off with the ignition and a flat car battery causes a bigger problem. A phone charged this way keeps your Safaricom or Airtel Kenya line, mobile banking apps and M-Pesa ready until power returns.
Can I charge two phones at once with the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger?
Yes, the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger charges two devices at the same time through its USB-C and USB-A ports. Anker uses automatic power allocation, which means the charger shares its output between both ports instead of overloading either one. The USB-C port is the fast lane, so give it to the phone with the lowest battery or the one running navigation. The USB-A port handles a passenger's phone, earbuds, a dashcam or a small Bluetooth speaker without needing a new cable.
Will the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger charge a laptop?
The Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger is built mainly for phones, small tablets and accessories, not full-size laptops. Its 30W USB-C port can slowly top up some lightweight USB-C devices, but most business laptops ask for more power and may barely gain charge or not charge at all. For an HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad or MacBook in the car, the Anker Nano Car Charger 75W 2-in-1 or the Anker Nano Car Charger 167.5W 3-Port at KSh 7,500 is the better match.
Is the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger safe to leave plugged in?
The Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger includes Anker's MultiProtect system, which guards against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and overheating. Those four checks matter in Kenya, where cars sit in hot parking lots from Mombasa to Garissa and older vehicles have uneven electrical systems. Its small, flush body also makes it less likely to snap off if a bag or knee bumps it. Unplug it if your car keeps the socket live with the engine off and you park for days.
Who should buy the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger, and who should skip it?
The Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger suits drivers who charge phones, earbuds and small gadgets, want a neat dashboard, and still use some USB-A cables. Ride-hailing drivers, estate agents, journalists and parents on school runs get the most from it. Skip it if you charge a laptop in the car, because 30W is too little; the Anker Nano Car Charger 75W 2-in-1 fits that need better. Skip it too if you need three devices charging at once.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Output
- 30W USB-C port — enough power to fast charge an iPhone 15 or a recent Android phone during a short drive.
- USB Power Delivery on the USB-C port — a common fast charging standard, so most modern USB-C phones and tablets negotiate faster speeds automatically.
- USB-A port alongside — charges a second phone, earbuds, a dashcam or a power bank using the older rectangular cable many people still carry.
- Two devices at once — both ports work together, so driver and passenger never have to take turns charging on long trips.
- Automatic power allocation — the charger splits its output between ports based on what each device asks for, avoiding overload on either side. Nothing needs to be switched or set, so you simply plug in and drive.
Compatibility
- iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro — Anker names these as fast charging targets for the USB-C port, using a USB-C to USB-C cable.
- Older iPhone models — charge through a USB-C to Lightning cable, or through the USB-A port with the original Lightning cable.
- Android phones from Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo and Redmi — charge through either port with the cable that came with the phone.
- Earbuds, smartwatches and Bluetooth speakers — top up from the USB-A port while the USB-C port stays free for a phone.
- Standard car lighter sockets — fits the round outlet found in saloon cars, SUVs, pickups and many matatus on Kenyan roads. If your vehicle has a socket on the dashboard and another in the back, it works in either one.
Safety and Protection
- MultiProtect technology — Anker's combined safety system that monitors the charger and your device while charging is running.
- Over-voltage protection — blocks sudden power surges from the car's electrical system before they reach your phone's battery.
- Under-voltage protection — handles dips in supply, such as during engine start, without stressing the connected device.
- Over-current protection — limits the flow of power so a faulty cable or device cannot draw more than is safe.
- Over-temperature protection — reduces or stops charging if the unit gets too hot, useful in cars parked under the Kenyan sun. Charging resumes once the charger has cooled down to a safe level.
Build and Size
- Ultra-compact body — sits almost flush with the dashboard, leaving room for gear levers, cup holders and phone mounts.
- Low profile design — less of the charger sticks out, so it is harder to knock loose on potholed roads or speed bumps.
- Lightweight build — adds almost nothing to your glovebox if you move it between a personal car and a company vehicle.
- Two clearly separated ports — the USB-C and USB-A openings sit apart, so cables plug in easily even in a dark car.
- Colour — Anker's standard finish for this model; confirm the colour currently in stock on WhatsApp before ordering.
Inclusions
- Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger unit — the dual-port charger itself, brand new in sealed Anker packaging.
- Anker welcome guide — short printed instructions covering setup, port use and safety notes.
- No cable in the box — use the USB-C or USB-A cables you already own, or add a cable at Mascom International.
- Sealed retail box — packaging arrives unopened, so you can inspect it at the counter or on delivery.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — claimable in person at our Kimathi Street store in Nairobi CBD.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed Anker box you get the Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger and Anker's welcome guide.

If you need a short car-friendly cable or a spare for the USB-A port, Mascom International stocks genuine options at the same counter. Bring your phone to the store and we will test the charger with your own cable before you leave.
Warranty
The Anker Ultra-Compact Car Charger comes with a 6-month warranty through Mascom International, covering manufacturing defects under normal use. That includes ports that stop delivering power and internal faults not caused by physical damage or liquid. Warranty claims are handled at our service desk in Nairobi CBD.
