The Green Lion Companion 45 GaN is available at Mascom International for KSh 5,500, combining a 45W USB-C Power Delivery port, four more USB ports, a universal AC socket and slide-out UK, US, EU and AU plugs. It weighs 206g and measures 56 x 56 x 92mm, so it slips into a laptop bag or carry-on. Gallium nitride (GaN) parts let it deliver laptop-level charging from a body much smaller than older chargers. Every unit is brand new and sealed, in black. Pick up the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, in the Nairobi CBD.
Built for business travellers, conference delegates and NGO field staff across Kenya, the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN replaces a tangle of plug converters and separate chargers. Someone flying from JKIA to Dubai, London or Johannesburg usually packs a converter, a phone brick and a laptop charger. This one unit handles all three jobs: the 45W port tops up a USB-C laptop, the 20W ports charge phones quickly, and the built-in retractable cable ends the search for a spare lead. Sales teams on the road between Nairobi and Mombasa hotels find the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN just as useful at home.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell basic plug converters with no charging ports at all, Mascom International stocks the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN with an auto-resetting fuse, safety shutters and a flame-retardant body. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the single adapter saves space in hand luggage and spares them buying chargers abroad at airport prices. Customers also compare it with the Green Lion GS 500 Power Socket, a home desk strip, and the questions below explain which one fits. Visit our Kimathi Street store to test it with your own laptop, or order the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN for pay-on-arrival delivery.
Common Questions About the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN
How much is the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN travel adapter in Kenya?
The Green Lion Companion 45 GaN costs KSh 5,500 at Mascom International in Nairobi, brand new and sealed in black. That price covers the adapter with its UK, US, EU and AU plugs and built-in retractable cable, a 6-month warranty, and pay-on-arrival delivery across Kenya. It sits KSh 900 above the Green Lion GS 500 Power Socket at KSh 4,600, which is a fixed home strip with no travel plugs.
Can the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN charge my laptop?
Yes, the main USB-C port on the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN delivers up to 45W Power Delivery, enough for many USB-C laptops such as MacBook Air and thin ultrabooks. It steps through 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V to match what each device asks for. Laptops that need 65W or more may charge slowly, or only while idle, and can lose charge under heavy work. Laptops with a round barrel charger can use their own charger through the universal AC socket.
Should I buy the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN or the Green Lion GS 500 Power Socket?
The Green Lion Companion 45 GaN is a compact travel charger with swappable plugs and a 45W laptop port, while the Green Lion GS 500 Power Socket is a desk strip with five AC outlets and a 3m cord. This adapter takes one mains plug at a time; the strip runs five devices from the wall. The GS 500's best USB port tops out at 20W against 45W here. Frequent flyers should pick this adapter; home offices suit the strip.
Will the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN work in Kenyan sockets and on trips abroad?
The Green Lion Companion 45 GaN plugs straight into Kenyan Type G sockets using its UK plug, and slides out US, EU and AU plugs for over 150 countries. It accepts 100V to 240V input, so it runs on 240V mains at home and on 110V in the United States. It does not convert voltage for appliances plugged into its AC socket, so check that a hair dryer or shaver is rated for the local supply. Phones and laptops on USB are unaffected.
How many devices can the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN charge at once?
Green Lion rates the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN to charge up to six devices at the same time. The USB row has one 45W USB-C port, two 20W USB-C ports and two 18W USB-A Quick Charge ports, and the universal AC socket adds one mains device. A typical hotel-room setup charges a laptop, two phones, earbuds and a smartwatch together, with a camera charger or shaver in the AC socket. Green Lion does not state the shared output when every port is busy, so the laptop may charge slower.
Is the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN safe to leave charging overnight?
The Green Lion Companion 45 GaN includes several listed safety features: built-in safety shutters, an auto-resetting fuse, a flame-retardant PC body with copper contacts, and an LED power indicator. The fuse trips if the adapter is overloaded and resets itself once the load drops, so a short does not leave you stranded on a work trip. A single-plug lock lets only one travel plug extend at a time, stopping two live pins from showing together. Keep it on a hard surface while charging overnight.
Is the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN useful at home in Kenya, not just for travel?
Yes, many buyers keep the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN on a bedside table or desk in Nairobi as a single charger for the whole family. One wall socket then handles a laptop, two phones and earbuds, which helps in rental flats with few outlets. During KPLC outages it pairs well with a power bank or UPS, since it charges a phone quickly once power returns. Staff commuting by matatu from Rongai or Ruaka also carry it daily in a laptop bag.
Who should buy the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN and who should skip it?
Buy the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN if you travel abroad for work, school or family and want one charger that handles plugs, phones and a USB-C laptop. Consultants, aid workers, athletes and students heading to universities overseas get the most from it. Skip it if you never leave Kenya and need several mains appliances powered at a desk; the Green Lion GS-150 Power Socket at KSh 3,700 covers that for less. Owners of 100W gaming laptops need their own charger.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Charging Output
- USB-C port one at 45W Power Delivery (5V/3A up to 20V/2.25A) — charges many USB-C laptops, tablets and phones at full speed.
- Two USB-C ports at 20W Power Delivery (5V/3A, 9V/2.22A, 12V/1.67A) — fast charging for iPhones and Android phones together.
- Two USB-A ports at 18W Quick Charge (5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A) — quick top-ups for older phones and accessories with USB-A cables.
- Universal AC socket rated 10A, up to 2400W — powers a camera charger, shaver or laptop brick from almost any plug shape.
- Up to six devices charging at once, as Green Lion rates it — one wall socket serves a whole travel kit.
- GaN (gallium nitride) parts, branded GaNStorm by Green Lion — less heat and a smaller body than older silicon chargers.
Compatibility and Travel Coverage
- Built-in UK, US, EU and AU plugs — slide out the right one for over 150 countries, with nothing loose to lose.
- Input range of 100V to 240V at 50/60Hz — the USB side works on 240V mains here and on 110V abroad.
- No voltage conversion on the AC socket — appliances plugged into it must already suit the local mains voltage.
- Power Delivery and Quick Charge standards — the adapter agrees a safe charging speed with each phone, tablet or laptop.
- Works with phones, tablets, laptops, cameras, game consoles, MP3 players and razors, per Green Lion's listed uses.
Build and Safety
- Flame-retardant PC body with copper contacts — resists catching fire and keeps solid contact with sockets during heavy charging.
- Built-in safety shutters — the socket stays covered until a plug goes in, reducing the risk of shocks from stray objects.
- Auto-resetting fuse — cuts power on overload, then restores it by itself, with no fuse to replace mid-trip.
- Single-plug safety lock — only one travel plug extends at a time, so two sets of live pins never show together.
- LED power indicator — a glowing light confirms the adapter is live, handy in a dark hotel room.
Inclusions and Portability
- Retractable 50cm built-in cable — pulls out to charge a device and winds back in, so no separate lead is needed.
- Compact 56 x 56 x 92mm body — fits a laptop bag side pocket or handbag next to a phone.
- Light 206g weight — barely noticeable in carry-on luggage under strict airline limits.
- Black finish — hides scuffs and marks from daily packing better than a white charger would.
- Sealed Green Lion retail packaging — confirms the adapter reaches you brand new and unopened.
Package Contents
The sealed Green Lion box holds the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN with its UK, US, EU and AU plugs built into the body and its 50cm retractable cable attached. Because the plugs slide out of the adapter itself, there are no separate plug pieces to pack or lose. Green Lion lists no extra cables in the box. Compatible USB-C, Lightning and USB-A cables are sold separately at Mascom International if your devices need more than the built-in lead.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Green Lion Companion 45 GaN with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use, such as a port, plug slider or retractable cable that fails. Claims are handled at our Nairobi CBD service desk on Kimathi Street with the adapter and receipt.
