This AM FM radio is a solar hand crank emergency radio with a 5000mAh battery, a three-mode side flashlight and a flip-up reading light, small enough for a kitchen drawer or a glovebox. When a winter storm knocks out the power, you still have local news, light and a charge for your phone.
The built-in 5000mAh lithium battery charges in about 4 to 5 hours over USB-C or 25 to 30 hours in direct sun on the solar panel, and the fold-out hand crank adds charge when you have neither. Three AAA batteries in the back bay can run it as a backup. A full battery gives you up to 10 hours of radio or up to 8 hours of light, and the USB output tops up your phone from the same battery. Pull up the telescopic antenna and tune with the keys under the backlit LCD.
Think a crank radio is too weak to count on? The 5000mAh battery is the real reserve: charge it by USB-C before the cold months, and the sun and the crank keep it going once the grid is down. The side flashlight switches between a far beam, a low beam and both together, so you can light up the whole driveway or just the basement stairs on the way to the breaker box.
Keep it on the kitchen counter through an ice storm, in the truck for a roadside breakdown or in your pack at the deer stand, and press the SOS button to sound the alarm if you need help, so news, light and a phone charge are always within reach.
