Budi PB083B2 20000mAh Power Bank is now in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 3,500, at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This unit arrives brand new and sealed, carrying a 20000mAh lithium-polymer cell rated at 74Wh, a USB-C Power Delivery output of 20W, a Quick Charge output of 22.5W, a combined current ceiling of 5A, and an LED screen showing exact charge percentage. Three cables sit tucked into the body USB-C, Lightning, and Micro-USB and a USB-A port brings the Budi PB083B2 to four separate output paths.
Built for households sharing a single wall socket through Kenya Power interruptions, night-shift nurses and security teams passing one unit between colleagues, drivers running the Nairobi to Mombasa corridor, and NGO staff posted to counties where mains power follows a generator schedule, the Budi PB083B2 answers a problem cheaper packs ignore. Charging one phone is easy. Charging four phones, across three different connector types, in a car or a living room with no power, is exactly where a single-port battery pack fails. Three attached cables and four output paths mean nobody hunts for the right cord.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya selling unbranded 20000mAh units with invented capacity numbers, the Budi PB083B2 comes from a manufacturer operating since 2009, shipping to more than 76 countries, with CE, FCC, and RoHS certification behind its accessory range. Buyers across Kenya tell us the attached-cable design settles the decision, because a forgotten cable turns any battery pack into dead weight. Mascom International stocks the Budi PB083B2 with after-sales support handled directly at our Nairobi CBD desk. Walk into Kimathi Street to handle the unit first, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide.
Common Questions About the Budi PB083B2
Which phones do the three attached cables actually fit?
Three tips clip into the body of the Budi PB083B2. The USB-C tip fits Samsung Galaxy, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and iPhone 15 or later. The Lightning tip fits iPhone 14, 13, 12, and 11. The Micro-USB tip covers older Android handsets, Bluetooth speakers, rechargeable torches, and cheap earbuds. Between the three tips, almost every handset in circulation across Kenya is covered without opening your bag or borrowing a cord from someone else.
If I plug in four devices at once, how much does each one slow down?
Total current across all four paths is capped at 5A, so four devices share what a single device would otherwise take alone. One phone on the USB-C path pulls the full 20W. Add three more and each settles nearer 5W to 7W, meaning a full charge takes three to four hours instead of ninety minutes. That trade works fine overnight and frustrates anyone leaving the house in twenty minutes.
Is the 20000mAh rating honest, or inflated like cheap packs?
Budi prints 74Wh on the casing, and 74Wh divided by the 3.7V nominal cell voltage returns 20,000mAh exactly. That division is the test worth running on any pack you are offered. Unbranded units around River Road often print 20000mAh with no Wh figure at all, or a Wh number that resolves to 8,000mAh. After conversion losses the Budi PB083B2 returns roughly 12,500mAh of usable output at 5V.
Can the Budi PB083B2 charge a laptop or tablet?
An iPad or Galaxy Tab takes the full 20W and gains around 40 percent in an hour, so tablets are covered properly. Laptops are a different matter. A MacBook Air M2 holds its charge during email and browsing but gains very little under heavier work, and most Windows machines ask for 45W to 65W and will not start charging at all. Treat this unit as phone and tablet power.
Should I buy the Budi PB083B2 or the slimmer Budi PB812B?
Both hold 20000mAh, so the real choice is shape and cables. The Budi PB812B is narrower, drops into a jacket pocket, and suits one person charging one phone. The Budi PB083B2 is thicker but carries three cables on its body and four output paths, which suits a household, a car, or anyone charging on behalf of other people. Buy the PB812B for pocket carry and the PB083B2 for sharing.
What happens if one of the attached cables breaks?
The other three output paths keep working. A failed Lightning tip does not disable the USB-C tip, the Micro-USB tip, or the USB-A port, which is the practical argument for a unit with four paths rather than one. Within the warranty period Mascom International handles a broken cable at our Kimathi Street desk. Outside it, the USB-A port takes any ordinary cable as a permanent workaround.
Will the Budi PB083B2 cover a whole weekend without mains power?
For phones, comfortably. A 5000mAh Tecno Camon or Infinix Hot refills about two and a half times, an iPhone 15 about 3.7 times, and a Samsung Galaxy S24 about 3.1 times from one full charge. Two people on ordinary use get through a Saturday and Sunday blackout with charge to spare. Add a Bluetooth speaker or a torch and that margin shrinks, so top the unit up beforehand.
Can it charge a phone while it is itself plugged into the wall?
Yes, though slowly. Current arriving through the USB-C input splits between refilling the internal cell and feeding whatever sits connected, so both jobs run at reduced speed. The practical use is a bedside setup: plug the Budi PB083B2 into a 20W adapter overnight with a phone attached, and both are full by morning. Avoid leaning on this when the phone must be charged inside an hour.
Which Kenyan buyers get the most from four output ports?
Households sharing one wall socket during a Kenya Power interruption, families on the Nairobi to Mombasa road with four phones in one car, night-shift nurses and security teams passing the unit between colleagues, and NGO staff posted to Turkana or Marsabit where mains power follows a generator schedule. Anyone charging only their own handset is paying for capacity they will rarely touch, and a smaller pack serves them better.
Technical Specifications
Battery Cell and Rated Capacity
- Lithium-polymer cell rated 20000mAh at 3.7V nominal, printed as 74Wh, the figure airlines and regulators actually check
- Usable output lands near 12,500mAh at 5V once voltage conversion losses are subtracted, which sets real refill counts
- Rated for roughly 500 full charge cycles before capacity drops noticeably, equal to about two years of daily use
- Polymer construction rather than cylindrical 18650 cells keeps the body flatter and reduces heat build-up during sustained output
- Operating range covers 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, comfortable across Mombasa humidity, Nairobi evenings, and Turkana daytime heat
- Capacity is printed on the casing in both mAh and Wh, letting buyers verify the claim before handing over money
Charging Protocols and Output Speeds
- USB-C Power Delivery output reaches 20W across 5V 3A, 9V 2.22A, and 12V 1.67A voltage profiles
- USB-A output runs Quick Charge 3.0 at 22.5W, supporting 5V 4.5A, 4.5V 5A, 9V 2A, and 12V 1.5A
- Total current ceiling of 5A splits automatically between connected devices, so four phones charge together at reduced individual speeds
- Attached Type-C cable carries the same 22.5W ceiling, matching the USB-A port instead of dropping to slow default rates
- Attached Lightning cable outputs 5V at 2.4A, the standard rate iPhone 14 and older handsets accept over Lightning
- Protocol coverage spans PD 3.0, QC 3.0, and BC 1.2, reaching phones sold in Kenya since roughly 2017
Attached Cables and Port Layout
- Three cables clip into moulded recesses on the body: USB-C, Lightning, and Micro-USB tips, each ready without unpacking anything
- USB-C tip serves Samsung Galaxy, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and iPhone 15 and later models
- Lightning tip serves iPhone 14, 13, 12, 11, and earlier handsets still widely resold across Nairobi and Mombasa
- Micro-USB tip covers older Android phones, JBL speakers, budget earbuds, rechargeable torches, and small Bluetooth accessories
- A USB-A port completes the four output paths, taking any standard cable for devices the attached tips miss
Input Options and Recharge Times
- USB-C input accepts up to 20W, refilling the 74Wh cell from empty in roughly 5 hours
- Micro-USB input runs at 5V and 2.4A, stretching a full refill to between 7 and 8 hours
- Attached USB cable doubles as an input path at 5V 2.4A, useful when no spare cable is around
- A 20W or larger wall adapter unlocks the faster input speed; a 5W phone plug roughly doubles refill time
- Mascom International stocks matching Budi, UGREEN, Samsung, and Apple 20W adapters for buyers who need one
- Recharging while also charging a phone runs slower, since input current splits between the internal cell and device
Digital Display and User Controls
- LED screen reports remaining charge from 1 to 100 percent, replacing the four-dot indicators found on cheaper units
- Percentage readout tells you whether the unit survives a full day before you leave the house
- Display also signals charging direction, showing whether the unit is taking power in or sending it out
- Single button wakes the screen and starts output; the screen dims automatically after a few seconds idle
- Output cuts off on its own when no device draws current, protecting the cell during weeks sitting unused
- Screen stays readable under direct equatorial sunlight, which matters for outdoor workers, riders, and matatu crews
Build Quality and Safety Protection
- Protection circuitry covers short circuit, overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, overvoltage, and overheating across every output path
- Casing uses textured ABS plastic that resists scratches from keys and coins sharing a bag or pocket
- Cable recesses hold the three tips flush with the body, so nothing snags on bag linings during transport
- Budi has manufactured phone accessories since 2009 and holds CE, FCC, and RoHS certification across its range
- Black is the standard finish Mascom International stocks for this model, matching most phone cases and bags
