Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long does it take to charge a hand-crank radio?
It can take up to 16 hours to fully charge the battery using only the hand crank. The purpose of the crank is to acquire enough charge in the battery to power the radio for weather announcements or to charge a phone sufficiently to make a call, not to fully charge the device. -
How can you charge an Eton radio the most efficiently?
Spin the hand turbine for 60 seconds for 10-15 minutes of radio and flashlight use, or place the emergency radio in the sun for passive charging. When you attach your phone into the USB port, it will immediately “dump charge” on it, much like if you plugged it into a wall outlet. -
What is the function of a crank radio in an emergency?
If the battery dies, the radio can be charged with a hand crank, solar power, or AAA batteries. It listens to AM/FM radio and NOAA weather stations, and when severe weather is predicted, it sends out emergency notifications. -
What is a hand-crank radio and how does it work?
A hand-crank radio is one that does not need to be plugged into work. The user just cranks the device to charge an internal battery, which allows it to operate even when the power is out. -
How long does it take to use a hand crank to turn on a flashlight?
Another popular form is the windup or crank-powered flashlight, which uses a battery that is recharged by a generator controlled by a hand crank. One minute of cranking usually yields 30 to 60 minutes of light.
