Porodo Solar Power Bank is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,200, brand new and sealed, with a 10000mAh battery, a solar panel, an LED torch and four built-in connectors. The Porodo Solar Power Bank carries USB-C, Lightning, Micro-USB and USB-A connectors in its own body, so the loose cables can stay at home. It comes in black and fits easily into a handbag, a laptop sleeve or a jacket pocket. You can hold it, switch on the torch and check the connectors against your own phone at our store in the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for commuters, field workers and travellers across Kenya, the Porodo Solar Power Bank answers a familiar problem: a phone at 10 percent with no socket in sight. A dead phone means no M-Pesa, no Google Maps and no calls to the client waiting in Westlands. NGO field staff, sales teams on upcountry routes and students heading home for the holidays use it to keep one or two devices alive through the day. When KPLC cuts power in the evening, the built-in torch lights the room while the battery keeps your phone charged.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell a plain power bank plus a bag of separate cables, the Porodo Solar Power Bank puts every common connector, a torch and a sunlight backup into one unit. Customers across Nairobi tell us the built-in cables matter most, because a forgotten cable is the usual reason a power bank fails them. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand from families who mix iPhones and Android phones in one household.

Common Questions About the Porodo Solar Power Bank
How much is the Porodo Solar Power Bank 10000mAh in Kenya?
The Porodo Solar Power Bank 10000mAh costs KSh 3,200 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. That price covers the power bank with its four built-in connectors, the solar panel and the LED torch, so you buy no extra cables. It also carries our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects. You can pay on arrival when it is delivered, with same-day delivery in Nairobi and next-business-day delivery to other major towns.
Can the Porodo Solar Power Bank charge both an iPhone and an Android phone?
Yes, the Porodo Solar Power Bank charges iPhones and Android phones because it carries USB-C, Lightning and Micro-USB connectors. Use Lightning for iPhone 14 and earlier, and USB-C for iPhone 15 and later, recent Samsung, Tecno, Infinix and Redmi phones, and many earbuds. Micro-USB covers older budget phones, Bluetooth speakers and rechargeable lamps. The USB-A connector handles devices and chargers that use the classic rectangular plug. One unit can serve a whole household with mixed phones.
How many phone charges does the Porodo Solar Power Bank give?
The Porodo Solar Power Bank holds 10000mAh, which is twice the rating of a typical 5000mAh phone battery. Some energy is always lost as heat while charging, so expect at least one full refill of a modern Android phone with charge left over. Older or smaller phones, such as an iPhone with a 3000mAh-class battery, get closer to two full refills. Earbuds and feature phones can be topped up many times before the power bank itself needs charging.
How well does solar charging work on the Porodo Solar Power Bank in Kenya?
Solar charging on the Porodo Solar Power Bank works best as a backup, not as the main way to refill it. Kenya gets strong sunshine for much of the year, especially in places like Turkana, Garissa and the Rift Valley, yet a small panel still charges far slower than a wall socket. Refill it from a USB phone charger at home, then let sunlight top it up during camping trips, field days or long KPLC outages.
Can I carry the Porodo Solar Power Bank on a flight from JKIA?
Yes, the Porodo Solar Power Bank is within airline limits for cabin baggage. At 10000mAh and the standard 3.7V cell voltage, it stores about 37Wh, well under the 100Wh limit that most airlines apply without special approval. Airlines require power banks in your hand luggage, never in checked bags, so keep it in your carry-on when flying from JKIA, Wilson, Moi International in Mombasa or Kisumu International.
Porodo Solar Power Bank or a regular 10000mAh power bank: which should I buy?
The Porodo Solar Power Bank suits buyers who spend long hours away from sockets, while a regular 10000mAh power bank suits city users who are rarely far from power. Both hold the same capacity. The solar model adds a sunlight backup, an LED torch and four built-in connectors. A regular pack without a panel is often slimmer, and some models charge faster. Pick the solar version for travel, fieldwork and blackouts; pick a plain one for office desks.
Who should buy the Porodo Solar Power Bank, and who should skip it?
The Porodo Solar Power Bank suits commuters, field staff, campers, boda boda riders and families with a mix of iPhones and Android phones. It is not for anyone who wants to charge a laptop, since a 10000mAh pack with phone connectors is built for phones and small gadgets. Laptop users need a higher-capacity power bank with USB-C laptop output. Buyers who mainly want the fastest possible phone charging should also look at a dedicated fast-charging power bank instead.
How do I look after the Porodo Solar Power Bank so it lasts?
Keep the Porodo Solar Power Bank out of extreme heat, such as a car dashboard behind glass for hours in Mombasa or Kisumu sunshine. Short spells in open sunlight for solar top-ups are fine. Wipe dust off the panel with a dry cloth so light reaches the cells. Fold the built-in connectors back into place after use so they do not bend. If you store it for weeks, charge it to about half first and top it up every few months.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Battery

- About 37Wh stored energy, worked out from 10000mAh at the standard 3.7V cell voltage — fine for airline cabin bags.

- Integrated LED torch — lights a path, a door lock or a fuse box without draining your phone's own battery.
- Mains refill from a standard USB phone charger — the quickest way to bring the battery back to full each night.

Package Contents
The box holds the Porodo Solar Power Bank in black, sealed, with its four connectors already built into the body. The solar panel and LED torch are part of the unit, so there is nothing to assemble. Because the charging cables come attached, you do not need to buy separate cables for your phones. A wall adapter is not part of the package; any standard USB phone charger at home or in the office refills it.

Mascom International backs the Porodo Solar Power Bank with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use.
