High-Capacity Fast Charge Survival Radio

The MB290 features a 4500mAh battery providing long, dynamic battery life. This means that use of the Bluetooth will conserve battery (Lasting up to 60 hours of playback) while using the aerial and Radio functions will use more (Lasting up to 40 Hours of Playback). This allows you to conserve battery when you need it.

3 Charging Methods

1. Solar Power - The Solar Panels on the top of the device passively generate a constant flow of electricity. Please ensure you fully charge the device with the power cable first, before using solar over time to maintain/restore smaller amounts of charge
2. Hand Crank Dynamo - The foldable crank stores neatly along the side of the windup radio speaker and can be deployed at will. Turn the handle to generate kinetic electricity and give a burst of energy to the device in emergencies or to keep the music going
3. Rechargeable Integrated Battery - The internal battery can also be charged by a power cable, included. The USB-C connection is fast, and efficient and makes charging accessible via any powered USB port!
