Budi PB083B Power Bank | 20000mAh Capacity | 20W USB-C Power Delivery | 22.5W Quick Charge | LED Battery Indicator
Two Complete Refills for Your Handset Between Blackouts, Matatu Commutes, and Upcountry Trips
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Budi PB083B 20000mAh Power Bank is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 3,600, carrying a 74Wh cell, one 20W USB-C Power Delivery port, and a 22.5W Quick Charge USB output. The Budi PB083B accepts both Micro-USB and USB-C input, so almost any cable already sitting in your bag can refill it. A four-dot LED indicator on the housing shows how much charge remains before you walk out the door. Mascom International stocks the Budi PB083B at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
Kenya's charging problem is rarely about the phone itself. It is about the eight hours between a KPLC outage in Kayole and the next working socket. The Budi PB083B closes that gap with roughly 12,000mAh to 14,000mAh of usable output after conversion losses, which lands near two full refills for a 5,000mAh handset. Boda riders taking M-Pesa payments from morning to night, university students at Kenyatta University and Strathmore running late Zoom sessions, and traders at Gikomba who cannot abandon a stall to hunt for a socket all face the same shortage. One 362g unit in a bag settles it.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International states usable output honestly rather than printing the raw cell figure and hoping nobody checks the arithmetic. Customers across Nairobi report that the Budi PB083B holds its stored charge for two to three weeks sitting in a drawer between uses. At KSh 3,600, the Budi PB083B undercuts comparable 20,000mAh units from Oraimo and Anker by KSh 1,000 to KSh 3,500 while matching their 20W Power Delivery output. Walk into our Kimathi Street counter to weigh one in your hand, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in the country.
Common Questions About the Budi PB083B Power Bank
How many times can the Budi PB083B actually charge my phone?
Expect close to two full charges for a 5,000mAh phone such as a Tecno Spark or Samsung Galaxy A-series handset, and near three for a 4,000mAh device. The cell holds 20,000mAh at 3.7V, but voltage conversion to 5V loses 30 to 35 percent along the way. That leaves roughly 12,000mAh to 14,000mAh reaching your phone. Any seller promising four or five full charges from a 20,000mAh pack is quoting physics that does not exist.
What is the difference between the 20W port and the 22.5W port?
The USB-C port runs Power Delivery at 20W and suits iPhones, Pixels, and newer Samsung models, taking an iPhone from empty to about half in 30 minutes. The USB-A port runs Quick Charge at up to 22.5W and suits Xiaomi, Redmi, Tecno, Infinix, and Oppo handsets that negotiate over Qualcomm's standard instead. Use whichever port matches your phone. Plugging into the wrong one still charges, just at ordinary 5V speed.
Can the Budi PB083B charge a laptop?
Only a low-draw laptop, and slowly. The USB-C port outputs 20W, while most Windows ultrabooks ask for 45W to 65W. A MacBook Air or Chromebook will draw the 20W and gain roughly 15 to 20 percent battery per hour, or hold its level during light work. It will not run a gaming machine or a workstation. Buyers needing genuine laptop backup should look at 65W or 145W units instead, which Mascom International also stocks.
How long does the Budi PB083B itself take to recharge?
Around six to seven hours from a 20W USB-C wall adapter, and closer to ten hours through the Micro-USB input at 5V/2A. Filling a 74Wh cell takes real time regardless of brand. Most owners plug it in overnight so it sits full by morning. The four LED dots each represent about 25 percent, so three lit dots means you have roughly 15,000mAh of stored capacity remaining in the cell.
Is the Budi PB083B allowed on flights out of Kenya?
Yes. At 74Wh the unit sits comfortably under the 100Wh ceiling that Kenya Airways, Jambojet, Emirates, and Qatar Airways apply to lithium batteries. Carry it in your hand luggage, never in checked baggage, which is standard airline rule rather than a Budi restriction. Cabin crew occasionally ask to see the printed Wh figure, and it appears on the label moulded into the casing. No airline paperwork or declaration is needed.
What does the 500-cycle lifetime rating mean in practice?
One cycle equals draining the pack fully and refilling it fully. Budi rates the PB083B for about 500 such cycles before capacity settles to roughly 80 percent of the original figure. Someone emptying it twice a week reaches that point after about five years. Partial top-ups count as fractions of a cycle, so light users stretch it further. Capacity does not stop at 500; it simply holds less than it did new.
How does the Budi PB083B compare with Oraimo and Anker in Kenya?
Oraimo's 20,000mAh 20W units sell around KSh 4,600 to KSh 5,200 locally, and Anker's equivalent runs KSh 6,500 upward. The Budi PB083B matches both on 20W Power Delivery output and 74Wh capacity at KSh 3,600. Anker's build tolerance and cell sourcing remain a step ahead, which the price gap reflects honestly. For buyers weighing shillings against marginal quality difference, the Budi PB083B covers the same daily job.
Will it work with my Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, or iPhone?
Yes, all four and effectively everything else charging over USB. The USB-C Power Delivery port handles iPhone 15 onward, Samsung Galaxy S and A series, and Google Pixel. The USB-A Quick Charge port covers Tecno, Infinix, itel, Xiaomi, and Oppo. Bluetooth earbuds, a Bluetooth speaker, a Wi-Fi router during outages, and Nintendo Switch all draw from it too. Only the cable in your hand determines compatibility, not the pack.
Is the Budi PB083B worth KSh 3,600 in Kenya's market?
For a 20,000mAh pack with genuine 20W Power Delivery, yes. Comparable capacity from unbranded imports on downtown stalls sells at KSh 1,800 to KSh 2,500, but those units routinely test at half their claimed capacity and skip protection circuitry. Mascom International sees returns on that category constantly. The KSh 3,600 figure buys verified cell capacity, a rated 500-cycle life, and a warranty you can claim on Kimathi Street.
Technical Specifications
Battery Capacity and Real-World Output
- Cell capacity is 20,000mAh rated at 3.7V, equal to 74Wh of stored energy for airline calculations.
- Usable output after voltage conversion lands between 12,000mAh and 14,000mAh, the figure that actually reaches connected devices.
- Charges a 5,000mAh phone close to twice, a 4,000mAh phone near three times, on one full fill.
- Lithium-ion polymer cell chemistry holds stored charge for two to three weeks between uses with minimal self-discharge.
- Rated for approximately 500 full charge cycles before capacity settles toward 80 percent of the original figure.
- Self-discharge stays low enough that a pack topped up on Friday still serves a Sunday upcountry trip.
Charging Output and Speed Standards
- USB-C port outputs Power Delivery at 20W, supporting 5V/3A, 9V/2A, and 12V/1.5A negotiation profiles.
- USB-A port supports Quick Charge 3.0 at up to 22.5W for Qualcomm-equipped Android handsets across most brands.
- Three output ports allow a phone, earbuds, and a second handset to draw simultaneously during load-shedding.
- Simultaneous multi-device draw splits available wattage, so single-device charging remains fastest when time matters.
- An iPhone reaches roughly 50 percent in 30 minutes on the USB-C Power Delivery port from empty.
- Standard 5V charging still works on any device that does not negotiate a fast-charge protocol.
Recharging Inputs and Refill Time
- Dual input covers both Micro-USB and USB-C, so an older Tecno cable refills it as readily as a new one.
- USB-C input accepts 5V/3A and 9V/2A, filling the pack in roughly six to seven hours.
- Micro-USB input runs at 5V/2A and 9V/2A, needing closer to ten hours for a complete fill.
- Charging stops automatically once the cell reaches capacity, so overnight plugging carries no overcharge risk.
- A 20W wall adapter shortens refill time meaningfully compared with a basic 5W phone charger.
Device Compatibility Across Brands
- Works with every USB-charging phone sold in Kenya, covering Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, itel, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Apple.
- Powers Bluetooth earbuds, portable speakers, smartwatches, and e-readers without any adapter or converter required.
- Keeps a home Wi-Fi router running during KPLC outages when paired with a 5V/12V trigger cable.
- Charges a Nintendo Switch or handheld console over USB-C for extended play away from mains power.
- Supports low-draw laptops such as MacBook Air and Chromebooks at 20W, adding partial charge rather than full.
- No proprietary cable requirement, so any USB-A or USB-C lead in your drawer connects directly.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Weighs approximately 362g with a plastic housing measuring roughly 136.8mm by 70.8mm by 25.5mm.
- Four-dot LED indicator reports remaining charge in 25 percent steps at a glance before leaving home.
- Black matte finish resists visible fingerprints and the dust picked up on Thika Road and Mombasa Road.
- Rectangular profile sits flat in a laptop sleeve, backpack pocket, or handbag without rocking or sliding.
- Housing tolerates the knocks of a daily matatu commute better than thin aluminium-shelled competitors at this price.
- Size and weight suit a bag rather than a trouser pocket, which is the honest trade for 20,000mAh.
Safety Protection and Certification
- Protection circuitry guards against overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit, and overvoltage during every session.
- Thermal cutoff halts output if internal temperature climbs beyond safe operating range under sustained heavy draw.
- Certified to CE, FCC, and RoHS standards, the same marks required for legitimate import into Kenya.
- Automatic shutdown when no device is detected prevents slow drain while the pack sits idle in a bag.
- Cell isolation limits fault propagation, a protection layer unbranded market-stall packs commonly omit entirely.
