Emergency Crank Radio with Solar Panel, NOAA Weather and Phone Charging

A hand crank emergency radio in orange and black, about the size of a paperback, that keeps working when the power is out and the phone is running low. It tunes AM, FM and the NOAA weather band, charges your phone from its 4000mAh battery, and lights the room with a side flashlight and a reading lamp that folds up from the top.

No dead batteries at the back of a drawer. No guessing at the weather. Wind the crank, tip the solar panel toward the sun, plug in a USB-C cable or drop in three AAA batteries, and any one of the four keeps it going.

Four ways to keep it running when the grid is down

Most emergency radios let you down in the same way: the batteries went flat years ago, and nobody finds out until the night the radio is needed. This one has a 4000mAh rechargeable battery built in and four separate ways to fill it. At home it tops up from a USB-C cable, just like a phone, and on a sunny windowsill the solar panel on top gathers charge while it sits there.

When there is no sun and no outlet, the crank folds out from the back and you put the power back in by hand. The battery door on the back also takes three AAA batteries, the kind most households keep in a drawer. They are not included.

The weather band is the one that matters in a storm

FM and AM bring in the local news and talk stations, which is where the updates come from once the internet and the cell towers go quiet. The weather band goes further. It tunes the seven NOAA weather channels, the round-the-clock broadcasts that carry the forecast and the warnings for your area, and the alert key sits right under the screen.

Pull the chrome antenna out to its full length for the clearest reception. The backlit display shows the band, the frequency and how much charge is left.

Light to see by, a charge for your phone and a way to call for help

When the lights go out in the evening, the flashlight in the left end throws a beam for finding the breaker panel or the candles. Lift the solar panel on its hinge and a strip of LED light underneath shines down onto the table like a small desk lamp, enough to eat or read by until the power comes back.

The USB port on the end charges your phone from the same battery, so a phone at ten percent at the start of a storm does not mean losing touch with family. If you are ever hurt or stranded, the orange SOS key sounds a siren and lights up so people can find you.

Small enough for the go-bag, the glove box or the tent

At 6.1 by 3 inches and under 2 inches deep, it slips into an emergency kit, a car or the shelf by the back door without taking over. The orange case is easy to spot at the bottom of a bag or on a dark campsite. It shrugs off splashes and light rain at IPX3, though it is not waterproof, so keep it out of puddles. On a camping trip it does the same jobs it does at home: the forecast over coffee, music at the picnic table and a lamp in the tent. When the weather turns, you already have a radio that does not need the grid.
