FosPower 4000mAh Emergency Radio (Model A3) NOAA Weather Radio and Power Bank with USB, Solar & Hand Crank Rechargeable Battery, SOS Alarm, AM/FM, Flashlight & Reading Light for Emergency Kit, Camping

This is a great little radio for our “off the grid” land up North. Clear. The sensor light is extremely bright. The flashlight is great and the SOS button is very loud if and when needed. This was a great purchase for the price.

Bought several of these Emergency Radios for friends and family this year. This item has a lot of nice features and I am currently testing the battery life, it has 14800mwh power to charge phones and other small electronics. A good price for the quality and features offered.

UPDATE: I am changing my rating from 1 star to 5 star. I contacted the company (see OLD review) to find out if it was something I did wrong in charging the lithium battery. I now know that I should have taken it out when I first got it 4 years ago, charged it, and then recharged it every 3 months. I wasn't expecting the company to do anything since it was 4 years old, though never used. Well, the company wrote back right away asking for additional info (like model # and order # etc.). Lo and behold they are sending me a new radio!!!! I truly was not expecting this because I thought it was my ignorance that caused the radio to fail. TBH I thought since I bought this 4 years ago and it sat unopened in the box that was why it failed. I did not know that lithium batteries will die when not recharged periodically and are allowed to sit for long periods of time. I had thought it used AAA batteries. I believe the company went above and beyond what most people would expect and am very grateful. Lesson learned: Always open and check packages as soon as you receive them. OLD REVIEW I needed it last night because we were having serious flash floods. All my other devices failed, internet, phone, tv, even other weather radios that had worked for a long time and I was unable to receive warnings if we were to evacuate. So I thought of this. Unfortunately I had not charged it for the first time. Today it took several hours to charge. I checked it every hour. When I went back the last time. Nothing worked. If charging it for an extra 30 min destroyed the radio, it's not worth the money. Buy another brand. I needed it last night because we were having serious flash floods.

Seems to be ok as it’s meant to be used for.. Haven’t had the necessity to actually use as intended.. Only the testing of it seems it will be adequate when it’s needed..

Seems to work well, bought it for power outages. It came with 50% battery power, which is fine but we were cranking for several minutes and the power level didn’t change. The next interval is 75% so I understand it would take awhile to get there but it seemed like if I really needed to charge that way, it would take a really long time. Glad it has battery and solar options.
