4 Handy Solar Emergency Radios

Have you been ever in a situation where you are stuck on the road without access to power or any sort of communication tool? Maybe you just want to have a way to listen to your favorite station during emergencies.That’s where solar emergency radios come in. These radios take advantage of alternative energy sources to give you access to radio. Some of them come with additional features such as a flashlight and cell phone chargers. If you are taking your emergency radio outdoors for camping or other purposes, that certainly comes handy.

Emergency radios are not for everyone. But it’s always nice to have a green energy radio just in case you are stuck. With that in mind, here are 4 solar emergency radios that you should look at:

Eton Microlink Self-Powered AM/FM/NOAA Weather Radio: can be charged with solar or dynamo both (charging you internal Ni-MH battery). It also comes with a cell phone charger as well.

Kaito KA500 5-way Powered Emergency AM/FM/SW Weather Alert Radio: has 11 bands including AM/FM, shortwave, and weather bands. You’ll also get local emergency alerts on your radio. You can always use the crank or the power of the sun to power up the radio.

ASUS Wind Up/Solar AM FM Radio: an emergency radio for the road. It works with solar power and comes with a flashing light and safety siren. What I like about it is the fact that it works with AA batteries as well.

Kikkerland Dynamo Solar and Crank Emergency Radio: designed for camping and outdoors. You won’t need a battery to power it up. It’s pretty affordable as well.
