Mascom International stocks the Budi PB812B Power Bank at KSh 3,500, brand new and sealed. Budi sells it as a mini PD model, fitting a 20000mAh cell into a smaller body than most power banks of this capacity. It supports 22.5W fast charging and USB-C Power Delivery 3.0, and a battery level readout shows the reserve left at a glance. The Budi PB812B Power Bank is on display at our store in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where you can hold it and test it with your phone before paying.
Built for lawyers, accountants, executives and university students across Kenya, the Budi PB812B Power Bank is for people who need a big reserve but dislike carrying a brick. A full day of Teams calls, Lipa na M-Pesa payments and Google Maps can drain a phone before you leave Upper Hill or Kilimani. Slip the Budi PB812B Power Bank into a handbag, a blazer pocket or a small sling bag, and top up between meetings. It stays light enough to carry every day, not only on travel days, and it keeps a phone alive through an evening KPLC outage at home.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push either tiny low-capacity units or heavy bricks, Mascom International offers a middle path with a branded mini model you can test at the counter. Customers across Nairobi tell us the smaller size is what makes them actually carry a power bank daily. Beside the Budi PB083B Power Bank at KSh 3,600, the Budi PB812B Power Bank is KSh 100 cheaper with the same 20000mAh capacity. Walk in at Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya.
Common Questions About the Budi PB812B Power Bank
How much does the Budi PB812B Power Bank cost in Kenya?
The Budi PB812B Power Bank costs KSh 3,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price includes the 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. It matches the Budi PB083B2 Power Bank on price and sits KSh 100 below the Budi PB083B Power Bank at KSh 3,600. You can pay with cash, by card or through Lipa na M-Pesa when you collect it at our Kimathi Street store.
How does the Budi PB812B compare with the Budi PB083B2 Power Bank?
Both cost KSh 3,500 and hold 20000mAh, but the Budi PB812B Power Bank is a mini design while the Budi PB083B2 Power Bank lists three built-in cables and four output ports. Choose the Budi PB812B if you want the smallest bag footprint and charge one phone at a time with your own cable. Choose the Budi PB083B2 if you charge several devices together and prefer leads attached to the body. Both are on the counter at Kimathi Street for a side-by-side look.
What does USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 mean on the Budi PB812B Power Bank?
USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 is a charging standard that lets the Budi PB812B Power Bank and your phone agree on a faster, safe charging level over a USB-C cable. Version 3.0 is the release that recent iPhones, Samsung Galaxy phones and many Android handsets understand. In practice, a PD-ready phone charges noticeably quicker than from an old 5W charger. Phones without PD still charge from it, only at their normal speed.
Is the Budi PB812B Power Bank small enough to carry every day?
Yes, the Budi PB812B Power Bank is sold as a mini model, so it takes less space than the boxy 20000mAh units common in Kenyan shops. It fits a handbag, a laptop sleeve pocket or a small sling bag, which matters for anyone moving between offices in Westlands and town all day. Because it is easy to carry, buyers keep it on them rather than leaving it at home. Hold it at our counter to judge the size yourself.
Does the Budi PB812B Power Bank handle Nairobi heat and Mombasa humidity?
The Budi PB812B Power Bank works well in Kenyan weather when you keep it out of direct sun and away from water. Like all lithium power banks, it should not sit on a car dashboard in Mombasa or Garissa heat, because high temperatures shorten battery life. In humid coastal air, store it in a dry bag pocket and keep the ports free of moisture. Customers in Nairobi and the coast tell us a small pouch keeps dust and damp out.
Can I refill the Budi PB812B Power Bank with my phone charger?
Yes, a USB-C phone charger can refill the Budi PB812B Power Bank, and a Power Delivery wall adapter refills it faster than an old 5W plug. Use a decent cable, because thin unbranded leads slow charging and can heat up. Plug it in overnight on a hard surface, or during office hours while KPLC power is on. If you need a matching adapter, Mascom International stocks compatible wall chargers at the Kimathi Street store.
How do I read the battery level on the Budi PB812B Power Bank?
The battery level readout on the Budi PB812B Power Bank shows how much charge the unit has left, so you can plan your top-ups. Check it before you head out for the day, and refill it once the reading drops low. The readout also confirms that charging has started when you connect a phone or plug the power bank in. Ask our staff to show you how it reads when you collect the unit at Kimathi Street.
Who should buy the Budi PB812B Power Bank and who should skip it?
The Budi PB812B Power Bank suits professionals, students at the University of Nairobi or Moi University and anyone who wants 20000mAh in a smaller bag footprint. Skip it if you want cables fixed to the body or need to charge four gadgets at once; the Budi PB083B2 Power Bank lists both. Skip it too if you want to charge a laptop, because 22.5W suits phones, and a 65W or 100W laptop power bank is the right tool.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Capacity
- 20000mAh battery — four times a typical 5000mAh phone battery, enough for several days of top-ups between refills.
- Roughly 74Wh, worked out from the capacity — under the 100Wh limit most airlines set for cabin bags.
- Mini body — Budi sells it as a mini PD model, smaller than most 20000mAh power banks in Kenyan shops.
- Battery level readout — shows the reserve left, so you refill before setting off on a long day.
- Real-world refills — usable charge lands below 20000mAh because some energy is lost as heat during transfer.
- Brand new and sealed — supplied in Budi retail packaging, never as a loose or repacked unit.
Charging Speed and Standards
- 22.5W fast charging — tops up compatible Android phones much faster than an old 5W phone charger.
- USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 — PD is a charging standard that lets iPhones and many Android phones draw faster current over USB-C.
- Automatic negotiation — the power bank and the phone settle on the quickest speed both support, with no settings to change.
- Standard fallback — phones without fast-charge support still charge safely at their normal speed.
- Phone-class output — 22.5W suits phones, earbuds and small tablets, not laptops that need 45W or more.
Device Compatibility
- USB-C iPhones — charge over a USB-C to USB-C cable with Power Delivery support.
- Lightning iPhones — charge with a USB-C to Lightning lead, sold separately at Mascom International.
- Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo and Redmi phones — charge over USB-C at a fast or standard rate, depending on the model.
- Earbuds cases and smartwatches — top up using their own USB charging leads.
- MiFi routers and small tablets — keep Safaricom or Airtel home internet and children's tablets running away from a socket.
Build and Daily Carry
- Smaller footprint — easier to carry daily in a handbag, sling bag or blazer pocket than bulky 20000mAh units.
- Lighter daily load — less bulk means you take it to work every day, not only on travel days.
- Heat care — keep it out of parked cars and direct sun to protect the lithium cells.
- Damp and dust care — store it in a dry pocket at the coast and wipe the ports after dusty trips.
- Cable choice — a good USB-C cable keeps charging speed up and avoids heat from thin leads.
