About this product
Around 90 hours of radio from one charge, and a phone charger when the lights go out.
A 10,000mAh hand crank radio with a solar panel and USB-C charging, AM and FM, a two-level torch, a 48 LED reading light hidden under the panel and an SOS alarm, in black.
This is a wind up radio built around a 10,000mAh battery, so it does far more than play the news. The supplier lists about 90 hours of radio, around 30 hours of torch and about 9 hours of reading light from a full charge, and it can top up your phone several times through the USB output.
Charge it by USB-C when the power is on, leave the solar panel in daylight, or turn the hand crank for 3 to 5 minutes when there is nothing else. That makes it a sound choice for the emergency drawer as well as for camping and caravan weekends.
The AM and FM radio uses a telescopic aerial. At the front there is a torch with two brightness levels, and under the solar panel a 48 LED reading light that spreads a wider glow across a tent or a table.
At around 500 g and 6.1 x 7.7 x 15.5 cm, it goes in a backpack or a glovebox without a second thought.
The 10,000mAh battery is what sets this radio apart from the usual pocket crank radio. The supplier lists about 90 hours of radio, around 30 hours of torch and about 9 hours of reading light from one full charge. The USB output delivers 5V at 2A, enough to charge a phone more than once when the power is out.
You have three ways to charge it. USB-C is quickest and works from any phone charger. The solar panel on the top adds charge whenever it is in daylight. The hand crank is the back-up for when there is no mains and no sun: the supplier suggests 3 to 5 minutes of turning at a steady pace to get it going.
The radio covers AM and FM through a telescopic aerial. The torch at the front has two brightness settings for walking or finding your way around a dark house. Lift the solar panel and a 48 LED reading light sits underneath, giving a softer, wider light for reading, cooking or a card game in a tent.
Hold the SOS button for three seconds and the radio sounds a loud alarm while the torch flashes the Morse code distress signal: three long, three short, three long. It is the kind of thing you hope never to use, and the reason a radio like this earns its place in a car or a kitchen drawer.

It is a hand crank emergency radio with a 10,000mAh battery. It plays AM and FM, charges your phone, and has a torch, a reading light and an SOS alarm, all in a unit around the size of a large torch.
How long does the battery last?
The supplier lists about 90 hours of radio, about 30 hours of torch and about 9 hours of reading light from a full charge. Running several functions at once shortens those figures.
Can it charge my phone?
Yes. The USB output gives 5V at 2A. The supplier says it will charge a phone several times from a full battery, though the exact number depends on your phone.
How do I charge the radio?
By USB-C from any phone charger, by leaving the solar panel in daylight, or by turning the hand crank. The supplier suggests 3 to 5 minutes of cranking at a steady pace to get it running.
How long does solar charging take?
The supplier does not give a time. Solar is a top-up rather than a quick fill for a battery this size, so use USB-C when the mains is on and treat the sun and the crank as back-ups.
What radio bands does it get?
AM and FM, through a telescopic aerial. It does not receive DAB.
What is the reading light?
A panel of 48 small LEDs hidden under the solar panel. Lift the panel and it lights a wider area than the torch, which suits a tent, a table or a cupboard.
How does the torch work?
It is an LED torch at the front with two brightness levels, so you can save battery on the low setting and switch to full power when you need to see further.
How does the SOS alarm work?
Hold the SOS button for three seconds. The radio sounds a loud alarm and the torch flashes the Morse code distress signal of three long, three short and three long flashes.
How big and heavy is it?
It measures 6.1 x 7.7 x 15.5 cm and weighs about 500 g, so it fits a backpack side pocket or a glovebox.
Which cable is in the box?
The listing says the radio charges by USB-C and names a micro-USB cable in the box, so check which lead you receive. Any standard phone charger cable of the right type will do the job.
Is it suitable for camping and caravans?
Yes. The supplier lists it for camping, caravan holidays and emergency kits. It is light, charges from the sun and gives you light, radio and phone power without a hook-up.
Does it work during a power cut?
That is what it is for. Keep it charged by USB-C and it will run for days. If it is flat when the power goes, a few minutes on the crank gets you radio and light.
Is it waterproof?
The supplier does not give a water resistance rating for this model. Keep it out of the rain and away from water.

A battery that lasts the weekend
Ten thousand milliamp hours is five times what most pocket crank radios carry. The supplier lists about 90 hours of radio, around 30 hours of torch and about 9 hours of reading light from a full charge. There is enough left over to charge a phone more than once through the 5V/2A USB output.
Three ways to charge
Plug in by USB-C and it fills from any phone charger. Leave it in a sunny spot and the solar panel keeps topping it up. When the mains is off and the sky is grey, fold out the crank and turn it for 3 to 5 minutes at a steady pace. Any of the three gets you back on air.
Radio, torch and reading light
The AM and FM tuner uses a telescopic aerial for a clear signal. The torch at the front has a low and a high setting. Lift the solar panel and a 48 LED reading light sits underneath, throwing a softer, wider light across a tent or a table.
Three seconds to SOS
Hold the SOS button for three seconds and the radio sounds a loud alarm while the torch flashes three long, three short and three long. In fog or darkness that signal carries a long way.
Small enough to forget until you need it
At 6.1 x 7.7 x 15.5 cm and about 500 g, it lives happily in a glovebox, a backpack or the kitchen drawer. The box holds the radio, a USB charging cable and a user manual.
