Budi PB098B Power Bank | 10000mAh Capacity | 3 Built-in Cables | 5W Qi Wireless Pad | Suction Cup Grip
Tucked-in cords and a stick-fast face for families juggling iPhones, Tecnos, and ageing Micro-USB handsets
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Budi PB098B is now available at Mascom International for KSh 3,000 at our Old Mutual Building store, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The pack holds a 10000mAh lithium-ion cell rated at 37Wh, three attached charging cords covering USB-C, Micro-USB, and Lightning, a 5W Qi wireless charging face ringed with rubber suction cups, and a fold-out stand on the rear shell. A USB-A port supplies 5V/2A for a fourth device. The Budi PB098B refills through either Micro-USB or USB-C at 5V/2A, so whichever charger you already own will work.
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.
Common Questions About the Budi PB098B
How does the suction cup face hold a phone while it charges?
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.
Which Kenyan phones support the Qi wireless face?
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.
Can one Budi PB098B serve a family using iPhones and Android phones?
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.
Why does the Budi PB098B charge slower than the Budi PB091B?
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.
What separates the Budi PB098B from the Budi PB097B at the same price?
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.
Will a thick phone case block wireless charging?
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.
What happens if one of the attached cords stops working?
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.
Does the fold-out stand hold a phone steady for video calls?
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.
Technical Specifications
Power Output and Real Capacity
- Rated capacity is 10000mAh at 3.7V, equal to 37Wh of stored energy under standard lithium-ion measurement
- Usable output lands near 6,000mAh after conversion losses, the figure that decides how many phone charges you get
- USB-A port supplies 5V/2A, which is 10 watts, enough for steady overnight or in-bag charging
- Each attached cord outputs 5V/1A, suited to phones, earbuds, fitness bands, and Bluetooth speakers
- Total draw is shared across active ports, so charging four devices at once slows every one of them
- Output is too low for laptops, which need USB-C Power Delivery at 45W or higher to charge
- Lithium-ion cell is rated for roughly 500 full charge cycles before capacity drops noticeably
Built-in Cord Set and Wireless Charging Face
- Three cords stay attached to the body: USB-C, Micro-USB, and Lightning, each roughly 20cm long
- Cords fold into moulded channels along the edge, so nothing dangles loose inside a bag
- Qi wireless face outputs 5 watts to compatible phones pressed directly against the charging panel
- Rubber suction cups ring that face and grip the back of a phone during movement
- Wireless charging runs slower than cord charging and generates mild warmth, which is normal behaviour
- Fold-out stand on the rear props the phone at viewing angle for video calls or clips
Device Compatibility Across Kenyan Phones
- Lightning cord covers iPhone 5 through iPhone 14, still widely used across Nairobi and upcountry towns
- USB-C cord fits Samsung Galaxy A and S series, Tecno, Infinix, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Google Pixel handsets
- Micro-USB cord serves older Itel, Tecno, and Infinix models plus most Bluetooth speakers sold locally
- Qi charging works with iPhone 8 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S6 and newer, and other Qi-capable Android phones
- USB-A port accepts any standard cable, covering cameras, GPS units, and rechargeable torches
- Phones without Qi support still charge normally through any of the three attached cords
Recharging the Pack Itself
- Dual input ports accept Micro-USB or USB-C, both rated at 5V/2A, so old and new chargers work
- Full recharge from empty takes roughly 6 to 7 hours using a standard 10W wall adapter
- Four LED indicators show remaining charge in 25 percent steps, visible with one button press
- Pack can charge a phone while refilling itself, though this stretches its own recharge time considerably
- Partial charging causes no harm to the cell, useful during Kenya Power interruptions or short office windows
- A charger rated below 5V/2A still works, but recharge time extends beyond eight hours
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- ABS plastic shell with matte finish resists fingerprints and the fine dust common on upcountry roads
- Weight sits near 234 grams, comparable to a mid-size phone, which suits jacket pockets and handbags
- Flat rectangular profile stacks against a phone without adding awkward bulk to a backpack pocket
- Suction face is washable with a damp cloth when grip weakens from dust or skin oil
- Attached cords are the wear point on any built-in-cable pack, so avoid yanking them from their channels
- Single-piece body has no removable panels, keeping dust and moisture away from the cell
Safety Protection and Certification
- Protection circuitry covers over-charging, over-discharging, short circuits, and over-current on every port
- Temperature control cuts output if the cell heats beyond safe range during extended charging sessions
- Budi certifies its accessory range to CE, FCC, and RoHS standards for electrical safety and materials
- Company has manufactured mobile accessories since 2009 and exports to more than 76 countries
- 37Wh rating sits below the 100Wh airline threshold, so hand luggage carriage needs no carrier approval
- Store away from direct sun in Mombasa, Kisumu, and Lamu heat, since sustained warmth shortens cell life
