Wind Up Radio - Shortwave AM FM Battery Radio - Torch & Reading Lamp

The Terrabound Wind Up Radio is a portable AM, FM and shortwave radio for the next power cut. When the lights, the internet and the phone signal go, it keeps the news, a light and a top-up for your phone going from one rugged box.

Charge the built-in 4000 mAh battery by USB-C before you put it away and it is ready to play. On a windowsill the solar panel on the lid tops it up in daylight, the wind-up handle is there as an emergency boost, and three AAA batteries in the back run it if the built-in battery is ever flat. The telescopic aerial pulls in AM and FM for the local news, and shortwave lets you listen for stations further afield.

Most wind up radios let people down because the battery is flat on the one night it is needed. Top this one up by USB-C every few months, keep three AAAs in the drawer, and the battery gauge tells you it is ready for the next power cut. Between storms it earns its place in the shed, the garden and the tent as a radio with its own torch and reading lamp.

Key Features:

• AM, FM and shortwave bands with a telescopic aerial and digital tuning, so you hear the news when the mains, internet and phone signal are down.
• Built-in 4000 mAh battery charges by USB-C, and a four-step gauge shows when it needs topping up.
• Solar panel and wind-up handle add charge when the mains is off, with three AAA batteries as a backup supply.
• USB output gives your phone an emergency top-up from the charged radio battery.
• Fold-up 250 lumen reading lamp lights the whole table, and the 400 lumen side torch lights the way to the fuse box.
• SOS button sounds an alarm, a child lock stops it going off in a bag, and the headphone jack lets you listen without waking the house.
• Rubber-framed body in bright orange is easy to find in a dark cupboard and measures about 14.2 x 4.9 x 7.5 cm.

Terrabound makes practical kit for days outside and for the nights the power goes off. Keep it in the kitchen drawer, the grab bag or the shed, where you can find it in the dark.

Pair it with one of our rechargeable head torches for hands-free light when the power is out.
