Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Amaya APB-F229 20000mAh power bank is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,050, brand new and sealed in its retail packaging. It stores 74Wh of charge, pushes up to 22.5W of fast-charging output, and carries four cables built into the casing: USB-C, Micro-USB, Lightning, and a USB-A lead for refilling the pack itself. A digital screen on the front reports the remaining battery percentage instead of vague indicator dots. Buy the APB-F229 at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Kenya Power outages, ten-hour workdays, and long matatu commutes flatten a phone battery well before evening. The Amaya APB-F229 answers that for boda riders running navigation all day, sales representatives on the Nairobi-Nakuru road, students at the University of Nairobi and Strathmore sitting through evening lectures, nurses on double shifts at Kenyatta National Hospital, and traders in Gikomba who cannot leave a stall to find a socket. The second problem it solves is the cable you left at home. Four are already attached to the Amaya APB-F229, so nothing gets forgotten on the kitchen table.
Unlike thin 10,000mAh packs that run empty before lunch, the Amaya APB-F229 holds 74Wh and still has capacity left for a second phone. Users consistently report that the percentage readout is what changes their habits, because you stop guessing from four dim lights and start planning your day around a real number. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady demand for 20000mAh packs as outages stretch longer across Nairobi estates and upcountry towns. Visit our Kimathi Street counter to test the Amaya APB-F229 on your own handset before paying, or order today for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the Amaya APB-F229
How many phone charges does the Amaya APB-F229 actually give?
Roughly three full charges for a 5,000mAh Android handset, or four for an iPhone with a smaller cell. The 20000mAh rating equals 74Wh of stored energy, and voltage conversion consumes part of that, leaving around 13,000mAh of usable output. That covers a weekend away from a socket, or a two-day outage with a phone still working. Heavy video streaming shortens the figure. Light messaging and calling stretches it further.
Do I still need to carry a charging cable?
No. Four cables sit inside the Amaya APB-F229 body: USB-C, Micro-USB, Lightning, and a USB-A lead used to refill the pack itself. You pull one out, plug it in, and tuck it back into its channel afterwards. That covers Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, and iPhone handsets without a single loose wire in your bag. The free USB-A port still accepts your own cable when a friend needs a top-up.
Does the Amaya APB-F229 fast charge Samsung and Xiaomi phones?
Yes. Both the USB-A port and the built-in USB-C cable reach 22.5W, using the 9V/2A and 12V/1.67A profiles that Samsung Super Fast Charging and Xiaomi fast charging accept. A compatible handset climbs to about 50 percent in half an hour rather than an hour and a half. iPhones charge through the Lightning cable at 5V/2A, which works out to 10W, so older models refill at a normal pace instead of a rapid one.
How long does the Amaya APB-F229 take to recharge?
Plan for five to six hours from empty using an 18W charger on the USB-C input, which accepts 9V/2A. A basic 10W adapter stretches that past eight hours. The Micro-USB input tops out at 5V/2A and runs slower still. Most customers plug the pack in overnight and wake to 100 percent on the display. No wall adapter ships in the box, so use the charger that came with your phone.
Can it charge two devices at the same time?
Yes. The USB-A port and the built-in cables run together, which suits a household sharing one pack during a blackout. Speed drops for each device when both draw current, so a phone that needs 30 minutes to reach half might take 45. For quicker results, charge one device at a time. The screen keeps reporting a single combined percentage, since both devices pull from the same cell.
Is the APB-F229 allowed on flights out of JKIA?
Yes. Airlines cap lithium batteries in cabin baggage at 100Wh without special approval, and the APB-F229 holds 74Wh, comfortably under that limit. Carry it in hand luggage and never in checked bags, which matches Kenya Airways, Jambojet, and international carrier policy. Airport security may ask to see the printed 74Wh rating on the casing, so keep that label readable rather than covered by a sticker.
Is a 20000mAh power bank worth KSh 2,050 in Kenya?
At KSh 2,050 you pay roughly KSh 103 for every 1,000mAh, which undercuts what most branded 10,000mAh packs cost per unit of capacity. The four attached cables also replace around KSh 1,500 of separate cords you would otherwise buy and lose. Unlike unbranded packs sold at street stalls with inflated capacity claims, this one publishes a real 74Wh figure and arrives with a warranty and a physical shop behind it.
Will the Amaya APB-F229 charge a laptop or tablet?
Tablets, yes. An iPad or Galaxy Tab charges normally through the USB-C cable at up to 22.5W. Laptops are a different matter. The 20W ceiling on USB-C sits below the 45W to 65W most notebooks request, so a MacBook Air or ThinkPad charges very slowly or merely holds its level while asleep. For real laptop charging, ask Mascom International about 100W-class packs instead.
What happens if the APB-F229 stops working?
Bring it to Mascom International at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, with your receipt. The 6-month warranty covers cell failure, ports that stop responding, and a display that dies under normal use. Customers upcountry send units by courier and our team handles the return leg. Physical damage, water exposure, and cut cables fall outside cover, which is standard across lithium accessories.
Technical Specifications
Capacity and Real-World Charge Cycles
- Model APB-F229 carries a 20000mAh lithium cell rated at 74Wh, printed directly on the casing.
- A 5,000mAh Android phone takes roughly three full refills before the pack needs a wall socket.
- An iPhone battery near 3,349mAh takes about four full refills from the same single charge.
- Usable output lands near 13,000mAh after voltage conversion, which is normal for every lithium pack sold.
- Two people sharing the pack still get a full day of phone use during an outage.
- Capacity suits weekend trips to Naivasha, Diani, or Maasai Mara where sockets are shared or scarce.
Charging Output and Real Speed
- USB-A port outputs 5V/3A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A and 10V/2.25A, covering common 22.5W fast-charge profiles.
- The built-in USB-C cable outputs 5V/3A, 9V/2.22A and 12V/1.67A, reaching the same 22.5W ceiling.
- Compatible handsets reach roughly half a battery in 30 minutes rather than waiting 90 minutes.
- The Lightning cable outputs 5V/2A, giving older iPhone models a steady 10W refill without fast charging.
- The Micro-USB cable outputs 5V/2A, matching what entry-level itel and Tecno handsets expect.
- Multiple outputs run together, though per-device speed falls when several devices draw current at once.
Integrated Cables and Device Compatibility
- Four cables sit inside the shell: USB-C, Micro-USB, Lightning, and a USB-A recharging lead.
- The USB-C cable covers Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi, Tecno, Infinix, Oppo, and every recent Android handset.
- The Lightning cable serves iPhone 5 through iPhone 14, models still widely traded across Kenya's used market.
- Micro-USB handles older feature phones, Bluetooth speakers, and budget wireless earbuds common in Kenyan homes.
- A free USB-A port accepts your own cable for cameras, torches, or a colleague's device.
- Attached cables mean nothing to forget at home, at the office, or inside a matatu.
Recharging Inputs and Refill Time
- USB-C input accepts 5V/3A and 9V/2A, so an 18W wall charger refills the pack fastest.
- Micro-USB input accepts 5V/2A for anyone still keeping an older Android charger at home.
- The built-in USB-A lead also refills the pack from a laptop port or wall adapter.
- Expect five to six hours from empty on an 18W charger.
- Overnight refilling during quieter Kenya Power hours leaves the pack ready before the morning commute.
- No wall adapter ships in the box, so use the charger supplied with your phone.
Battery Display and Protection Circuits
- A digital screen reports remaining charge as a percentage instead of four vague indicator lights.
- The percentage tells you whether the pack can finish a second phone before you leave home.
- NTC temperature control monitors heat and cuts output when the cell runs warmer than its safe range.
- Casing materials and protection circuits meet the CCC certification requirement applied to consumer lithium products.
- Over-current, over-voltage, and short-circuit cutoffs guard your handset against sudden voltage swings.
- Output stops automatically once a connected device reads full, which protects the phone battery overnight.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- A 3D-textured shell grips the hand and resists sliding off a car dashboard or desk.
- The textured finish hides fingerprints better than the glossy plastic used on rival packs at this price.
- Cables tuck into moulded channels in the body, so they do not snag inside a bag.
- The 74Wh rating sits below the 100Wh airline limit, so the pack travels in JKIA carry-on luggage.
- A sealed casing keeps dust out during Thika Road, Mombasa Road, and upcountry travel.
- Colour options rotate with each stock batch, so confirm the current shade with Mascom International first.
