Now thats a really nice radio, I like the weather alert feature. Also nice to be able to listen to all the bands, especially after something like a hurricane where you station antenna may be down for a bit.

Do the rechargeable aaa batteries charge from the device or do they have to be charged externally?

Hello, do i have to use RECHARGABLE BATTERIES or can i use standard AAA BATTERIES. The book does not mention this.. Can i charge by USB and hand crank or solar using just the lithium battery that comes with it ?? Thankyou for an answer. Or can I operate this radio with just the little blue lithium battery that comes with it ? Can I hand crank using that little blue lithium battery.

For the price it should be waterproof.

@@victornelson1577 i just don't get why any company uses anything but usb-c now. You can't even find mini usb in stores anymore. Gotta find them online. Even micro is hard to find.

@@KE8NKO_Radio I love usb-c some of these wind up radios are older models . Yes USB-C is the way to go... Im using a C to C 50cm cable at the moment which is charging at 65W to a lipo battery. I think C type will hit 100-500w power transfers .. I still use a lot of equipment that is usb and usb micro. mini usb cables are still in shops here in scotland but will fade out soon. I try to keep a collection of all cables just in case.

Still got mini usb on my Tecsun radio which can charge 3 x AA batteries. Also my PS3 gamepad (used for PC) and GP2X retro games handheld. Older stuff it came on that I don't use anymore were my Sony Clié (Palm Pilot), Pure DAB radio and Canon Powershot. There's a strange small usb my old Lumix camera and motorbike bluetooth headset. I think it's called 8 pin mini usb. I'm sure that's ruined a few road trips when lost. Nearly everything else we have is micro USB.

@@dazednconfused31337 The 'strange small USB' you mentioned...might be Mini USB-B (yes there is such a thing). The USB plug everyone thinks of is a USB-A and the square end with the angled corner that plus into printers is USB-B. Both Mini and Micro USB have B versions but they were hardly ever used. Of course, USB-C is the same on both ends.
