Review on 📻 2020 Newest Solar Hand Crank Emergency Radio with NOAA Weather Radio AM/FM/WB, 4000mAh Power Bank, Motion Sensor Lamp, LED Flashlight, SOS Alarm, Portable USB Rechargeable Radios for Hurricane and Households by Amy Ruiz

Living in California, I've learned all too well the importance of having emergency supplies ready when you need them. During earthquakes, forest fires and constant power outages, a well-stocked emergency kit is essential. Communication is key in an emergency, so having an emergency radio and a way to charge electronic devices is important to keep in touch with family and emergency services if necessary. Flashlights and enough batteries to power them are also important. This device kills two birds with one stone. Because it is an emergency radio, it provides a way to gather information from authorities. Because he also has a flashlight, he provides lighting at night. I particularly like that it also has a pop-up light that can illuminate an area or small space. And as an added bonus, it features both a hand crank and a solar panel for charging the power source, eliminating the need for batteries. the need to start the device to restore the battery. Unfortunately, the solar function was a bit disappointing. Living in California, there is a lot of bright and direct sunlight. If you leave this device in the sun for several days with the solar panel open and closed, the internal battery will reach a maximum charge of 50%. The solar panel is welcome, but I suspect that given its small size, it just can't get enough sunlight to charge the battery to 100% of its capacity. Therefore, you should expect to have to manually jailbreak the device to fully charge the battery. The specifications of the device indicate that it is a 4000 milliampere (mAh) battery. If you don't quite understand what milliamps (mAh) means, it's battery performance/device capacity. So, theoretically, if your phone has a 4000mAh battery, this device will charge it from 0% to 100% in one go. It is important to note that the instructions for this device state that it should not be used as an external power supply unless you are in an emergency. So don't plan to use it as a standard external power supply. I think the key to proper contingency planning is built-in reserves. I try to have at least two or three of everything I think I might need so I have a backup in case it crashes, gets lost or gets destroyed. I have 4 power supplies that I always try to keep fully charged. So if I need to evacuate (again) to an emergency shelter, I have enough charge to power my devices. Overall I think it's a decent device, but it's probably not the only emergency radio I'd want in my kit. I have at least one other emergency radio that I keep in an emergency case and I encourage you to do the same. The problem with such devices is that you don't know how well they work until you use them for an extended period of time in an emergency, and I certainly wouldn't want such a device to be my only lifeline. in a real emergency. I think it represents decent value at $30-$35.
