Built for families running several phone generations under one roof, salon and kiosk operators who charge customers' handsets during a service, taxi drivers who need a phone held steady on the dashboard, and church or school volunteers working a long event day, the Budi PB098B answers a problem most 10000mAh packs ignore: the cable. Nearly every pack sold in Kenya arrives with one loose cord that disappears within a month. This unit keeps three cords attached to the body, so an iPhone, a Tecno handset, and an older Micro-USB phone all draw from the same source.

Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya selling unbranded packs with capacity claims nobody verifies, Mascom International lists the Budi PB098B plainly: 37Wh of stored energy, roughly 6,000mAh of usable output after voltage conversion, and steady 5V/2A charging rather than fast-charge marketing. Customers across Nairobi report the suction cup face is the part they use most, because a phone stays gripped to the pack while they read WhatsApp in a moving matatu. At Mascom International, we are seeing steady demand from buyers who want one unit covering a household of mixed charging ports. Visit our Kimathi Street counter to handle the Budi PB098B before buying, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery.

Dozens of small rubber cups cover the charging face of the Budi PB098B. Press a phone against them and the grip holds through pothole bumps and pocket movement, leaving both hands free. The Qi coil sits under the middle of that face and pushes 5 watts into the phone while the cups do the holding. Wipe the cups with a damp cloth when dust weakens the seal. Grip is strongest on flat glass or plastic backs and poor on ridged or textured cases.

Qi charging works on iPhone 8 and every iPhone since, Samsung Galaxy S6 and newer, Galaxy Z and Note models, plus Qi-capable Xiaomi, Google Pixel, and Huawei handsets. Most Tecno, Infinix, and Itel phones sold in Kenya skip Qi entirely, which is why the three attached cords matter more than the face for many buyers. Check your phone settings for a wireless charging entry, or bring the handset to our Kimathi Street counter and we will test it in under a minute.

That is the reason to buy this one. An older iPhone takes the Lightning cord, a Samsung or Tecno takes the USB-C cord, a parent's handset takes Micro-USB, and a fourth device runs off the USB-A port with your own cable. Nobody argues over a missing cord. Output is shared across active ports, so four devices at once all charge slowly. Two at a time is the practical limit during a school morning or an evening blackout.

Different jobs. Output here tops out at 5V/2A through the USB-A port, which is 10 watts, and 5V/1A through each attached cord. The Budi PB091B pushes 22.5W using PD and Quick Charge negotiation. A phone that refills in 40 minutes on a wall socket needs two hours or more from this pack. Buyers chasing speed should take the PB091B. Buyers who want cords that never go missing and a face that grips a phone should stay here.

Both sit at KSh 3,000 at Mascom International and both hold 10000mAh. The PB097B spends its budget on speed: 20W USB-C Power Delivery and 21700 cells, with one cable in the box. This unit spends its budget on convenience: three attached cords, a Qi face, suction cups, and a fold-out stand, at 10 watts. Choose the PB097B for a single modern phone charged quickly. Choose this pack for several older devices charged without cable hunting.

Cases thicker than 4mm usually stop it. Wireless charging works by magnetic induction across a short gap, so leather wallet cases, rugged cases with metal plates, popsockets, and card holders all interrupt the field. Slim silicone and plastic cases under 4mm normally pass power through without trouble. If the phone shows no charging symbol, remove the case and try again before assuming a fault. Cable charging through the three attached cords works no matter what case you use.

The 6-month Mascom International warranty covers cord channel faults arising from normal use, so bring the unit to our Kimathi Street service desk and we assess it there. Cords damaged by yanking them out of their channels fall outside cover, which is the most common failure on any built-in-cable pack. Pull each cord from its base, never its tip. The USB-A port keeps working even if one attached cord fails, so the pack stays usable.

Yes, at a fixed viewing angle. The stand flips out of the rear shell and props the pack upright on a desk, counter, or dashboard with the phone stuck to the suction face. It suits Zoom lectures, WhatsApp video calls, and watching clips while the phone charges. The angle does not adjust, and a heavy handset such as an iPhone 17 Pro Max can tip the assembly on an uneven surface. Flat surfaces hold it fine.
