Self-Powered Emergency Radio with Flashlight

If you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere, then you probably don’t have access to a power outlet. However, if you can’t live without a radio or flashlight, then the Self-Powered Emergency Radio with Flashlight might appeal to you. The radio has the standard built-in FM and AM bands, but it can also receive the NOAA weather band. When it comes to charging the radio up, you have two choices, namely solar power or hand power.

The hand-crank and solar panel charge the internal rechargeable Ni-MH battery. What’s also cool about this gadget is that you can charge up your mobile phones too. The radio has it has a special socket to use for charging up a phone. If you also need a torch, the built-in torch will come in really useful too! This radio is probably aimed at emergency kits, as it also allows you to tune into FCC and EAS public alert systems.

The radio is available for just $24.99 plus shipping.

    Everyone should have something like this in case of an emergency. This is my personal favorite, as it has all of the features I could want in an emergency radio. Plus, the price is definitely right!

    I love how this emergency radio has a light on it. I keep one in storage in case of emergencies and I feel so much better knowing that it is there.

    Thank you “Radio Guru”, if that is your name. All I want is a crank radio flashlight with a 2.0 USB port so I can charge ANY cell phone. Is it too much to ask what kind of port and/or phone this thing charges? Can anyone give me that simple info please?

    Your rudeness is not appreciated. Most wind-up chargers come with a USB adaptor, you just need to look harder.

    LOL! I am so sorry. I genuinely thought those posts were fake since the names were so similar. I apologize for my attitude. And thank you for the suggestion. I’ll look into it asap.
