The Budi PB090B1 Power Bank is available at Mascom International for KSh 2,000, with a 10000mAh cell rated at 37Wh, two USB-A ports rated at 2.4A, a USB-C input for refilling and an LED charge indicator. It belongs to Budi's Pocket Simple series, so it is sized to ride in a trouser pocket, a handbag or the front pouch of a school bag. Every unit is brand new and sealed. You can pick up the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank at our shop on the first floor of the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Built for university students, sales teams, boda boda riders and anyone who leaves home at dawn and gets back after dark, the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank solves a simple problem. A phone running maps, WhatsApp, M-Pesa and calls rarely lasts a full Kenyan workday. When the battery drops to ten percent in a slow matatu on Thika Road, you plug into the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank and keep going. Two USB-A ports mean a phone and a pair of earbuds can share it, and the USB-C input refills it from the same cable most Android phones already use.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unbranded power banks with inflated capacity labels, Mascom International stocks a named Budi model with its energy rating printed honestly at 37Wh. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want one dependable spare that does not quit after a few weeks, and the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank fits that need at a fair price. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to hold it and check the indicator before you pay, or order on WhatsApp and pay when it reaches your door.
Common Questions About the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank
How much is the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank in Kenya?
The Budi PB090B1 Power Bank costs KSh 2,000, brand new and sealed, at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price includes a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties, so you only pay once the unit is in your hands. If you want double the capacity, the Budi PB090B2 Power Bank sits at KSh 2,600, which is KSh 600 more. For most single-phone users, the 10000mAh model is enough for a full day away from a socket.
How many times can the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank charge my phone?
The Budi PB090B1 Power Bank holds 10000mAh, which on paper equals two full charges of a phone with a 5000mAh battery. In practice you get a little less, because some energy is lost as heat when the voltage is converted for your phone. A phone with a 4000mAh battery gets more top-ups than a large 6000mAh model. For a typical Kenyan user, that still means a dead phone becomes a full one with charge left for the evening.
Should I buy the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank or the Budi PB090B2 Power Bank?
Pick the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank if you carry one phone and want the lighter, pocket-sized option at KSh 2,000. The Budi PB090B2 Power Bank doubles the cell to 20000mAh and 74Wh for KSh 2,600, and adds a Micro USB input beside Type-C. Both share dual USB-A 2.4A output. Choose the PB090B2 if you share charge with family, travel upcountry for several days, or run a tablet alongside your phone.
Is the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank good for daily matatu commutes in Nairobi?
Yes, the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank suits daily matatu commuters because it is compact and holds enough for a full phone refill. Long jams on Mombasa Road, Waiyaki Way or Jogoo Road drain batteries fast when you stream music or track your stage on maps. Keep the power bank in your bag, connect a short cable and charge while you ride. A short cable also avoids tangles in a packed matatu, and the LED indicator tells you when to refill the bank at home.
Can I carry the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank on a flight from JKIA?
The Budi PB090B1 Power Bank is rated at 37Wh, well under the 100Wh line most airlines use for power banks in cabin bags. That means it generally goes in your hand luggage on Kenya Airways, Jambojet or Safarilink flights without special approval. Airlines do not accept power banks in checked luggage, so keep it with you. Check your carrier's current rules before flying, since each airline sets its own policy and may limit how many spares you carry.
Does the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank support fast charging?
No, the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank charges at standard speed through USB-A ports rated at 2.4A, which works out to about 12W at 5V. That is steady and safe for any phone, but slower than the fast chargers some Samsung, Tecno and Infinix phones ship with. If you need a phone to reach 50 percent in a few minutes, a power bank with USB-C Power Delivery output suits you better. For overnight or all-day top-ups, standard speed is perfectly workable.
What cable do I need to recharge the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank?
The Budi PB090B1 Power Bank refills through a USB-C input, so any USB-C cable and a standard wall adapter will do the job. Most Android phones sold in Kenya since 2020 use USB-C, so the cable you already own for your phone probably fits. Plug it in at home or at the office when power is on, and watch the LED charge indicator to see progress. To charge your phone from it, you need a USB-A cable that matches your phone's port.
Who should buy the Budi PB090B1 Power Bank and who should skip it?
The Budi PB090B1 Power Bank suits students, office workers and riders who need one reliable phone refill a day for KSh 2,000. Skip it if you run a laptop, since its USB-A output cannot power one; a USB-C Power Delivery power bank of 65W or more is the better fit. Families sharing charge or people facing long blackouts will find the 20000mAh Budi PB090B2 Power Bank more practical.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Capacity
- 10000mAh battery cell — enough stored charge to refill a typical phone about once and a half to twice.
- 37Wh energy rating — the honest measure of stored energy, printed so airlines and buyers can judge size.
- Dual USB-A output rated at 2.4A — standard-speed charging, about 12W at 5V, safe for any phone.
- USB-C input — refills the bank from the same cable most current Android phones already use.
- Standard 5V charging — no fast-charge protocol, so phones charge steadily rather than in a rush.
- Pocket Simple series design — Budi's line built around plain, carry-anywhere power banks without extra gadgets.
Compatibility and Devices
- Android phones — works with Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, Redmi and others through their own USB cable.
- iPhone — charges through a USB-A to Lightning or USB-A to USB-C cable, sold separately at Mascom International.
- Wireless earbuds and smartwatches — small devices refill from the USB-A ports with their own charging cables.
- Two devices together — both USB-A ports can be connected at once, for example a phone and earbuds.
- Laptops — not supported, since USB-A output at 5V cannot meet the power a laptop draws.

- LED charge indicator — shows how much charge remains, so you know when to refill the bank.
