Budi CC628TQB 36W car charger with two Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A ports rated at 18W each is now available at Mascom International for KSh 1,200. The Budi CC628TQB pushes into any standard cigarette lighter socket and accepts vehicle input from 12V through 24V, which covers saloon cars, SUVs, pickups, matatus, and long-haul lorries. Each port supplies 5V at 3A, 9V at 2A, or 12V at 1.5A, matching whatever voltage your handset requests. Mascom International stocks the Budi CC628TQB at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, with pay-on-arrival delivery reaching all 47 Kenyan counties.
Bolt and Uber drivers working Nairobi shifts burn through a battery in under four hours running Google Maps, the driver app, and M-Pesa notifications at once. Sales representatives covering Nakuru, Eldoret, and Kisumu face the same problem on longer routes. A basic 5W socket adapter adds charge slower than navigation drains it, so the phone still dies mid-shift. The Budi CC628TQB solves that by feeding a real 18W to each port. A Samsung Galaxy A17 or Redmi Note goes from 20 percent to roughly 60 percent across a one-hour Thika Road run.
Unlike the unbranded car adapters sold at Kenyan roadside stalls with no rated output printed anywhere, the Budi CC628TQB publishes its exact voltage and current figures and carries over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection. Customers across Nairobi report that a single unit handles a driver's phone and a passenger's phone together without either slowing down. At Mascom International, we are seeing steady demand from ride-hailing drivers and logistics teams who replace cheap adapters every few months. Visit our Kimathi Street counter to test the Budi CC628TQB, or order for delivery and pay when it reaches you.
Common Questions About the Budi CC628TQB
What makes the Budi CC628TQB different from a standard car USB adapter?
Rated output. A generic car adapter typically supplies 5V at 1A, which is 5 watts. The Budi CC628TQB supplies up to 18W per port through Quick Charge 3.0, roughly three to four times faster. It negotiates higher voltages of 9V and 12V with compatible phones rather than pushing a fixed 5V. It also prints its full output rating, so you know exactly what your phone receives instead of guessing.
How fast does the Budi CC628TQB actually charge a phone?
On a Quick Charge 3.0 compatible handset, expect roughly 35 to 40 percent added in 30 minutes on a 5,000mAh battery. That is enough to cover a Westlands-to-Karen round trip with navigation running. Older phones without Quick Charge still receive up to 5V at 3A, which is 15W and well above a basic socket adapter. Charging speed always depends on your phone's own internal limit, not just the charger.
Can both USB ports run at full speed at the same time?
Yes. The 36W total figure comes from 18W plus 18W, so each port holds its own rating with two devices connected. Many cheaper dual-port car chargers advertise a combined number then split it, dropping each port to under 10W. The Budi CC628TQB keeps both lines independent. A driver charging a phone while a passenger charges a tablet sees no meaningful slowdown on either device.
Which phones and devices work with the Budi CC628TQB?
Any device that charges over USB-A. That includes iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Redmi, Oppo, and Vivo handsets, plus tablets, Bluetooth speakers, dash cameras, GPS units, and power banks. Quick Charge 3.0 speeds apply to phones that support the standard, mostly Snapdragon-based Android models. Phones using other fast-charge standards fall back to the safe 5V 3A output. You supply your own cable to match your phone's port.
Will the Budi CC628TQB work in a lorry, matatu, or 24V vehicle?
Yes. Input range runs from 12V to 24V, so the same unit works in a private saloon car, a 14-seater matatu, a pickup, and a 24V truck or bus electrical system. Many consumer car chargers accept 12V only and fail in commercial vehicles. Logistics coordinators running the Nairobi to Mombasa corridor and long-distance operators can move one Budi CC628TQB between vehicles without checking system voltage first.
Is it safe to leave the Budi CC628TQB plugged in permanently?
The unit carries over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit protection, so it shuts output down before a fault reaches your phone. Most modern vehicles cut power to the cigarette socket when the ignition is off, in which case leaving it in is harmless. If your car keeps that socket live, unplug it overnight. A charger drawing standby current for days can slowly pull down an older car battery.
Do I need a special cable with the Budi CC628TQB?
You need a cable that matches your phone: USB-A to USB-C for most Android handsets and newer iPhones, USB-A to Lightning for iPhone 14 and earlier. To reach the full 18W, the cable must be rated for at least 3A. Thin, unbranded cables often cap around 1A and quietly limit charging speed regardless of the charger. Mascom International stocks 3A-rated cables in USB-C and Lightning separately.
Is the Budi CC628TQB worth KSh 1,200 in Kenya's market?
For anyone who drives daily, yes. Unbranded car adapters sell for KSh 250 to KSh 400 and commonly fail within three to six months, so two replacements already exceed this price. The Budi CC628TQB carries a printed output rating, four protection circuits, and a 6-month warranty from a physical Nairobi store. Over a year of ride-hailing shifts, that works out to roughly KSh 3.30 per day.
Why choose the Budi CC628TQB over the cheapest roadside option?
Because unrated chargers put your phone at risk. Cheap units often skip proper voltage regulation, and a spike from a vehicle alternator can reach the handset directly. Replacing a phone battery or charging board costs far more than the charger. Mascom International sells the Budi CC628TQB with documented specifications, a warranty, and a service desk you can walk into on Kimathi Street rather than a stall that moves each week.
Technical Specifications
Charging Output and Port Configuration
- Two USB-A ports, each independently rated at 18W, for a combined 36W across both outputs running simultaneously
- Per-port voltage steps: 5V at 3A, 9V at 2A, and 12V at 1.5A, negotiated automatically with the connected device
- Combined 36W means no per-port throttling when two phones charge together, unlike shared-budget dual chargers
- Automatic device detection reads what each handset requests and holds the matching voltage for the whole session
- Fixed USB-A format suits the cables most Kenyan households already own for phones, speakers, and power banks
Quick Charge 3.0 Support and Real Charging Speed
- Quick Charge 3.0 raises voltage instead of current, cutting cable heat while shortening charge time on compatible phones
- Roughly 35 to 40 percent added in 30 minutes on a 5,000mAh Android battery under normal driving conditions
- Non-Quick-Charge phones, including most iPhones, still receive up to 5V at 3A for 15W of steady output
- Quick Charge 3.0 is backward compatible with Quick Charge 2.0 devices, so older Snapdragon handsets also gain speed
- Real speed is capped by your phone's internal charging limit, so a 15W phone will not exceed 15W here
Vehicle and Device Compatibility
- Input range of DC 12V to 24V covers saloon cars, SUVs, pickups, matatus, buses, and 24V commercial lorries
- Fits the standard cigarette lighter socket found in Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Isuzu, and Volkswagen models sold in Kenya
- Charges iPhone, Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Redmi, Oppo, Vivo, and any other USB-A powered handset
- Also runs tablets, dash cameras, GPS navigation units, Bluetooth speakers, wireless earbuds, and USB power banks
- One unit moves between personal and work vehicles without checking whether the system runs 12V or 24V
Safety Protection Systems
- Over-voltage protection blocks alternator spikes from reaching your phone during engine start or sudden electrical load changes
- Over-current protection limits draw if a faulty cable or device tries to pull beyond the rated output
- Over-temperature protection reduces or halts output when internal heat climbs during long Mombasa or Turkana road runs
- Short-circuit protection cuts power instantly if a damaged cable bridges contacts, preventing damage to the vehicle circuit
- Four protection layers matter most in Kenya, where voltage in older vehicles fluctuates more than in newer imports
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Heat-resistant moulded shell tolerates the cabin temperatures a car reaches parked in direct Nairobi midday sun
- Compact body sits close to the dashboard, so it does not block gear selectors, cup holders, or climate controls
- Ribbed grip on the barrel makes the unit easy to pull out with one hand while driving
- Spring-loaded socket contacts hold position over rough sections of Thika Road, Waiyaki Way, and unpaved county roads
- Black finish matches the dark interior trim used across most vehicles on Kenyan roads
Everyday Use Inside the Vehicle
- Plug into the 12V socket, connect your own cable, and charging begins with no app or pairing step
- An indicator light confirms the socket is live, which helps diagnose a blown fuse before blaming the charger
- Passengers on Nairobi to Naivasha or Nakuru trips can share the second port without unplugging the driver's phone
- Ride-hailing drivers keep navigation, the driver app, and M-Pesa running for a full shift without battery anxiety
- Unplug overnight if your vehicle keeps the cigarette socket powered with the ignition switched off
