Overview
About Crank Radio
A battery or crank radio has been on the federal emergency kit list for decades for a simple reason: broadcast radio keeps working when cell towers are overloaded or out of power, and emergency alerts in Canada are carried on radio.
This one never needs batteries. A minute of cranking gives several minutes of listening, the solar panel trickle-charges on a windowsill, and the 4,000 mAh battery can give a phone an emergency top-up.
What it does not do
We would sooner you knew now.
- Receive-only: it is not a two-way radio.
- The solar panel is a trickle charger. Use the crank or USB for a full charge.
- Recharge every 6 months to keep the battery healthy.

Questions
Why do I need a radio if I have a phone?
Cell networks slow down or fail in major emergencies as towers lose power and everyone calls at once. Broadcast AM and FM stations have backup power and carry official emergency alerts. A crank radio also saves your phone battery for calls.
Can I return it?
Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
