Our take on the C. Crane CCRadio Solar with Bluetooth Emergency Crank NOAA Weather AM/FM

The C. Crane CCRadio Solar is a portable AM/FM/NOAA weather radio built for power outages and off-grid use. It runs on a 3.7V 18650 lithium-ion battery charged three ways: a solar panel, a hand crank dynamo, or Micro USB. It also works as a Bluetooth speaker, so you can play audio from a phone when cell service is down. At $79.95 at Ham Radio Outlet as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with five stores listing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the CCRadio Solar worth $79.95?
At $79.95 at Ham Radio Outlet as of November 3, 2026, it is near the bottom of its recent price range. If you want one radio that covers weather alerts, AM/FM, and Bluetooth backup, that is a fair price.
How long does the battery last?
The 18650 lithium-ion cell is rated 3,400 mAh. Runtime depends on volume and whether Bluetooth is on; expect many hours of radio listening at moderate volume, less with Bluetooth streaming.
How long do I have to crank it?
Cranking is a backup, not a fast charger. A few minutes of cranking gives a short listening session; for a full charge, use the solar panel over a day or the Micro USB adapter.
Does it charge my phone?
No. The Micro USB port is for charging the radio's battery, and there is no USB output to power a phone.
Does it get NOAA alerts in every area?
It receives NOAA weather band broadcasts where a local transmitter covers you. Check the NOAA coverage map for your area before relying on it.
What comes in the box?
Expect the radio, a 18650 rechargeable battery, and a Micro USB charging cable. A wall adapter is generally not included.
