Nothing kills event vibes like a dead phone. Here’s how to stay connected:

Power Bank Essentials

• Capacity: Get 10,000mAh minimum for all-day events
• Multiple cables: USB-C, Lightning, Micro-USB for sharing with friends
• Fast charging: Look for 18W+ output for quick top-ups
• Where to buy: Electronics shops in CBD, Sarit Centre, or online via Jumia

Venue Charging Options

• VIP areas: Often have dedicated charging stations
• Food courts: Some vendors allow charging while you eat
• Car charging: If parked nearby, quick car trips for power
• Staff areas: Politely ask venue staff – they sometimes help

Smart Phone Management

• Power saving mode: Turn on when battery hits 50%
• Airplane mode: Use during performances, turn on for photos only
• Close apps: WhatsApp, Instagram drain battery fast
• Lower brightness: Nairobi events are often well-lit anyway

Emergency Solutions

• Borrow chargers: Make friends with people who have power banks
• Quick CBD run: If event is downtown, pop to Java House or KFC
• Ask vendors: Some have charging setups for customers

Local Tip: Download offline maps before events – GPS drains battery fastest.
