Give an ageing phone a second wind, with honest workmanship at a walk-in CBD store.
Condition: New

Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement is offered at Mascom International for KSh 3,000, which pays for a brand new GUKD8 original-grade replacement battery and the technician time to install it. The Google Pixel 8 Pro is rated at 5050mAh, and the GUKD8 code identifies the cell built for that phone's 6.7-inch body. Mascom International stocks the part and handles every Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. Labour sits inside the price, so the figure you see is the figure you pay at the counter.
Built for doctors, accountants, developers and logistics coordinators across Kenya, the Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement suits owners whose phone has served them since 2023 and now struggles to stay on. The Tensor G3 chip and bright display still feel quick, yet a tired cell drags the whole experience down. Many owners carry a power bank everywhere, restart the phone to clear odd shutdowns, or notice the back running hot on calls. Replacing the cell clears those problems at the root while keeping your apps, accounts and photo library exactly where they are.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops quote a price and vanish into a back room, Mascom International lets you see who fits your battery and test the result before you leave. At Mascom International, we're seeing more owners of this phone choose a fresh cell over an expensive upgrade. Each Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement includes a 6-month warranty on the replacement battery. Save a backup, confirm the model on WhatsApp, and visit our Kimathi Street store to book a Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement on any day that suits you.
Common Questions About the Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement
How much does a Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement cost in Kenya?
A Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement costs KSh 3,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi, including the GUKD8 original-grade battery and the fitting labour. You pay nothing extra for opening the phone, swapping the cell or the charge test afterwards. The service also carries a 6-month warranty on the replacement battery. For comparison, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Battery Replacement costs KSh 3,500, so the older phone is KSh 500 cheaper to refresh at our Kimathi Street workshop.
How does the Google Pixel 8 Pro battery service compare with the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL one?
The Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement is KSh 500 cheaper than the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL service, at KSh 3,000 against KSh 3,500. Capacities sit close together, with the Google Pixel 8 Pro rated at 5050mAh and the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL at 5060mAh. The parts are not interchangeable: the Google Pixel 8 Pro takes the GUKD8 cell and the newer phone takes GH2MB. Book whichever matches the phone in your hand, because each service at Mascom International is model-specific.
Is a Google Pixel 8 Pro still worth repairing today?
Yes, a Google Pixel 8 Pro with a healthy screen and board is usually worth a KSh 3,000 battery replacement. The Tensor G3 chip, 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display and cameras still handle daily work well, and the battery is the part that ages fastest. A fresh GUKD8 cell restores endurance without the cost of a new phone. If your phone also has a failing screen or camera, weigh the total repair bill against an upgrade before booking at Mascom International.
Will a new battery keep my Google Pixel 8 Pro going through a full day of M-Pesa trade and boda boda deliveries?
A new GUKD8 battery gives a Google Pixel 8 Pro back its full rated reserve, which helps traders taking Lipa na M-Pesa and Pochi la Biashara payments from opening to closing. Riders coordinating boda boda deliveries on maps and WhatsApp benefit too, since navigation drains a worn cell fast. During KPLC outages, a healthy battery also stretches further between power-bank top-ups. Mascom International fits the cell in person at our Nairobi CBD workshop.
Will my Google Pixel 8 Pro keep wireless and reverse wireless charging after the swap?
Yes, the Google Pixel 8 Pro keeps wireless charging and reverse wireless sharing after a battery change, because the charging coil stays in the phone. Wired charging is listed at 30W over USB Power Delivery 3.0 with PPS, so a compatible USB-C charger still gives quick top-ups. A fresh GUKD8 cell simply accepts that charge more evenly than a worn one. Spare or replacement chargers are available separately from Mascom International if yours has worn out.
Does the GUKD8 battery fit the standard Google Pixel 8?
No, the GUKD8 battery is matched to the Google Pixel 8 Pro, model numbers GC3VE and G1MNW, and this service covers that phone only. The standard Google Pixel 8 is a smaller phone with a different battery, so it cannot take this part. Check Settings, then About phone, to see which model you own. If the screen says Google Pixel 8 Pro, the Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement at Mascom International is the right booking.
What happens to my files during a Google Pixel 8 Pro battery change?
Your files normally stay untouched during a Google Pixel 8 Pro battery change, because the work replaces hardware and does not reset the phone. Still, back up photos, chats and contacts to your Google account first, since any repair carries a small risk. Remove the case and bring the phone to Mascom International yourself so you can explain the symptoms. Once the new GUKD8 cell is in, our technicians power the phone on and check charging with you before handover.
Which Google Pixel 8 Pro owners should get a new battery, and which should not?
Owners whose Google Pixel 8 Pro still runs smoothly but dies early, shuts down at mid charge or shows a raised back panel should get the GUKD8 battery fitted. It is a sensible choice for anyone happy with the phone and planning to keep it another year or more. Hold off if the display is cracked, has lines or flickers, because that repair should come first, and Mascom International can guide you on screen replacement options. Google Pixel 9 Pro XL owners need the separate GH2MB service.
Technical Specifications
Power Cell Details
- GUKD8 original-grade replacement battery — the part code tied to the Google Pixel 8 Pro and printed on the cell.
- Rated capacity of 5050mAh on the Google Pixel 8 Pro — a full day of calls, browsing and camera use per charge.
- Lithium-ion chemistry — matches what the phone's charging circuit expects, so percentage readings stay reliable after fitting.
- Unused cell straight from stock — the full rated reserve is available instead of the shrunken capacity of an ageing battery.
- Housed inside the phone — the 6.7-inch body keeps its shape, finish and weight once the back is closed again.
Supported Model Variants
- Google Pixel 8 Pro only — the GUKD8 cell is sized and connected for this phone's internal layout.
- Model numbers GC3VE and G1MNW — the two variants listed for the Google Pixel 8 Pro on its specification sheet.
- Not suited to the standard Google Pixel 8 — that phone uses a different battery and is not covered here.
- Not suited to the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL — the newer phone takes the GH2MB cell at KSh 3,500.
- Model confirmation over WhatsApp — share an About phone screenshot and our staff confirm the part before your trip.
Recharging Characteristics
- 30W wired charging listed for the Google Pixel 8 Pro — brisk top-ups using a compatible USB-C charger.
- USB Power Delivery 3.0 and PPS support — the charger adjusts voltage in small steps, keeping heat lower while charging.
- Wireless charging remains available — the battery swap leaves the phone's charging coil and its connections untouched.
- Reverse wireless charging stays supported — the phone can still top up compatible earbuds placed on its back.
- Even charge acceptance from a new cell — the percentage climbs smoothly rather than jumping or stalling near full.
How the Service Works
- Single price of KSh 3,000 — the GUKD8 battery and the technician's labour are both included with no extra fees.
- Performed at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street — walk in with your phone during opening hours.
- Old battery taken out with care — swollen cells get extra caution so the screen and frame stay undamaged.
- Charge and power test at the counter — the phone is switched on and charged in front of you before handover.
- Back up before the visit — data is normally untouched, yet a backup protects against any unexpected fault.
Care and Durability Notes
- IP68 protection no longer applies after opening — keep the phone away from water, rain and spilled drinks.
- Avoid long hours in direct sun — heat ages lithium-ion cells faster than everyday charging does.
- Unplug when fully charged where you can — long stretches at full charge in hot rooms add wear over months.
- Use a certified USB-C charger — cheap unbranded chargers can deliver unstable power that stresses a new cell.
- 6-month warranty on the replacement battery — manufacturing defects under normal use go to our Nairobi CBD service desk.
Symptoms Worth Watching
- Percentage falling fast during simple tasks — the clearest sign that the old battery has lost much of its reserve.
- Random restarts or shutdowns when opening the camera — a worn cell struggling to supply peak power on demand.
- Gap between the back glass and frame — a swollen battery pushing outward that needs prompt removal by a technician.
- Phone warm in the pocket while idle — a tired cell can heat up even without heavy apps running.
- Charging that stalls or jumps oddly — irregular readings that often point to an ageing battery inside the phone.
Package Contents
The Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement consists of one GUKD8 original-grade replacement battery and the labour to install it into your own phone, carried out by Mascom International technicians for KSh 3,000. The service comes without a box, charger or cable, because the part goes directly inside the handset rather than into your bag. If you want a new or spare USB-C charger to pair with the fresh cell, compatible chargers are sold separately at Mascom International.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Google Pixel 8 Pro Battery Replacement with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects in the replacement battery under normal use. Bring the phone to our Nairobi CBD service desk at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, and our team will handle the claim there.
