Hand crank power details
If you forget to charge it, you still have usable options. Just one minute of cranking provides about 5–10 minutes of light, 3–5 minutes of radio listening, or 3–5 minutes of talk time on a phone.
Solar charging and AAA batteries
Solar charging helps keep the battery topped up—simply leave it in direct sunlight. A full solar charge takes around 35 hours. The radio can also run on standard AAA batteries, offering an affordable, easy-to-find power option; rechargeable AAA batteries are also compatible.
Bands and capacity
The radio supports FM for local broadcasts, AM for distant stations when local networks fail, and WB NOAA for weather broadcasts in the US and Caribbean (less relevant in the UK). The unit features a large 4000 mAh power bank, allowing longer operation of the radio and torch and enabling you to fully charge a smartphone, not just provide a small top-up.
