About this product
A wind up radio that keeps your phone charged too.
A 12,000mAh battery, a solar panel, a hand crank and a USB-C port in one black rainproof unit, with an AM, FM and shortwave digital radio, a torch, a reading light and an SOS alarm.
This is the wind up radio for people who want one unit to cover a power cut, a camping trip and the emergency drawer. The 12,000mAh battery is around four times the size of the usual hand crank radio, so it runs for days and still has charge left for your phone.
Charge it three ways. Plug in by USB-C when the power is on, leave it in the sun, or turn the crank when you have nothing else. It also takes three AAA batteries as a back-up, so there is always a way to get it going.
The digital tuner covers AM, FM and shortwave with an LCD display and a built-in clock. There is a headphone jack for listening quietly at night.
Measuring 17.2 x 9.4 x 6.3 cm and weighing 522 g, it fits in a backpack, a glovebox or a kitchen drawer.
The battery is the reason to pick this one over a basic crank radio. At 12,000mAh it holds enough to run the radio for more than 50 hours at half volume, keep the torch going for 40 to 50 hours, or run the reading light for 60 to 70 hours. The SOS alarm can sound for a full 24 hours. Those are the supplier's figures from a full charge.
It charges three ways. A USB-C port takes a fast charge from any phone charger. The solar panel on the top adds charge whenever it sits in daylight, even on an overcast day. The fold-out hand crank gives you power from nothing, which is the whole point of a wind up radio. If the built-in battery is ever flat, three AAA batteries will run it instead.
The radio side is a proper digital tuner, not a dial you guess at. It covers AM from 522 to 1620 kHz, FM from 87.5 to 108 MHz and shortwave from 7 to 19 MHz, with the frequency and a clock shown on the LCD. Plug headphones into the 3.5 mm jack when you do not want to wake the house.
For a power cut or a night outdoors there is a torch rated at 70 metres, a wider reading light under the solar panel, and an SOS alarm with a bright flashing signal. The casing is hard ABS plastic, rated IPX6 against rain, with a carabiner so it clips to a bag or a tent pole.

What is the Wind Up Radio with 12000mAh Power Bank?
It is an emergency radio with a large 12,000mAh battery built in. It charges by USB-C, by its solar panel or by turning the hand crank, and it doubles as a power bank, a torch, a reading light and an SOS alarm.
How long does the battery last?
The supplier lists 50 hours or more of radio at half volume, 40 to 50 hours of torch, 60 to 70 hours of reading light and 24 hours of SOS alarm from a full charge.
Can it charge my phone?
Yes. It has a USB output for phones, tablets and other small devices. How many charges you get depends on your phone's battery size.
How do I charge the radio itself?
Three ways: plug in by USB-C, leave the solar panel in daylight, or turn the hand crank. USB-C is the fastest. Solar and crank are there for when the power is off.
Does the hand crank really charge it?
Yes. A few minutes of cranking gives you enough for some radio or torch time, and you can keep going as long as you need. It is a back-up, not the main way to fill a 12,000mAh battery.
Does it take ordinary batteries?
Yes. As well as the built-in battery it runs on three AAA batteries, which are not included. That gives you a second way to power it if the rechargeable battery is flat.
Which radio bands does it receive?
AM from 522 to 1620 kHz, FM from 87.5 to 108 MHz and shortwave from 7 to 19 MHz. The frequency shows on the LCD display.
Is it a DAB radio?
No. It is an AM, FM and shortwave radio. If you need DAB, this is not the right unit.
Is it waterproof?
The listing rates it IPX6 rainproof, so it will shrug off rain and splashes. It is not made for dropping in water.
How bright is the torch?
The listing gives 150 lumens and a range of 70 metres. The reading light under the solar panel is listed at 120 lumens and spreads light wider for a tent or a table.
How does the SOS alarm work?
It sounds a loud alarm and flashes a bright signal to draw attention. The supplier lists it at up to 24 hours of continuous use on a full charge.
How big and heavy is it?
It measures 17.2 x 9.4 x 6.3 cm and weighs 522 g, about the size of a small lunchbox. There is a carabiner on the top so it clips to a bag.
Does it have a headphone socket?
Yes, a 3.5 mm jack, so you can listen without the speaker.
What comes in the box?
The radio and an owner's manual. AAA batteries are not included.
How much is the Wind Up Radio with 12000mAh Power Bank?

Are your prices in pounds sterling?

Will I get a tracking number?
Yes. A tracking number is emailed as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.
Can my order arrive in more than one parcel?
It can. Items in one order are sometimes packed and sent separately, so a partial delivery is not a missing order.
Can I change my mind after ordering?
Yes, within 15 days of your purchase, which is longer than the 14 days the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 give you. Tell us, send the item back unused and in its original packaging, and you get your money back. The return postage is yours; nothing else is charged.
What if it arrives damaged or faulty?
Tell us and we sort it. A faulty, damaged or wrong item is our cost to put right, including the return postage. Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 are not affected by anything on this page.
How do I cancel before it ships?
Contact us within 12 hours of ordering, because most orders are picked within 2 working days. If it has not been dispatched we cancel it and refund you in full.
What payment methods do you take?
Card through Stripe, and PayPal. Those are the only two.
Do I get a receipt?
Yes, an order confirmation is emailed to you as soon as the payment goes through, and it is your proof of purchase for any return.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No. We are an online clearance warehouse, which is why the prices are what they are.
Are these products new?
Yes. Everything here is new stock. Clearance means the price is cut, not that the goods are used.
Can I buy several of these at trade prices?
Yes, ask us. There is a wholesale page on this site and we quote per order rather than publishing a trade list.
What else do you sell in home improvement?
This product is filed under home improvement on this site, and the category page lists everything else we stock in it.

Days of power, not hours
Most wind up radios carry a 2,000mAh battery. This one carries 12,000mAh, which changes what it is for. Rather than a few hours of listening, the supplier lists more than 50 hours of radio at half volume, 40 to 50 hours of torch and 60 to 70 hours of reading light from one full charge. That is a long power cut covered, with charge to spare for your phone.
Charge it three ways
Plug it in by USB-C and it fills quickly from any phone charger. Leave it on a windowsill and the solar panel keeps adding charge through the day, even when it is overcast. When there is no power at all, fold out the crank and turn it. If the built-in battery ever runs flat, three AAA batteries will run the radio instead.
A proper digital tuner
The radio covers AM, FM and shortwave, tuned by buttons with the frequency on an LCD display rather than a needle on a dial. A clock sits on the same display. The 3.5 mm headphone jack lets you listen in bed without waking anyone.
Torch, reading light and SOS
The front torch is listed at 150 lumens with a 70 metre reach. Lift the solar panel and a wider reading light sits underneath, listed at 120 lumens, for a tent or a kitchen table. Hold the SOS button and it sounds a loud alarm with a flashing light for up to 24 hours.
Built for the outdoors
The hard ABS shell is rated IPX6 against rain and comes with a carabiner for clipping to a bag or a tent pole. At 17.2 x 9.4 x 6.3 cm and 522 g it is small enough for a glovebox and solid enough for a campsite.
