Our take on the FosPower Solar Hand Crank Emergency Radio with Flashlight
The FosPower is a compact emergency radio that runs on a rechargeable Li-ion battery and can be topped up three ways: solar panel, hand crank, or USB. It tunes AM and FM and adds a flashlight plus a USB port for charging a phone in a pinch. Its IPX3 rating handles rain and splashes but not submersion. It suits campers, hikers and households building a blackout kit; against larger emergency radios it trades speaker size and weather-band coverage for a smaller, lighter body.
- Three charging paths: solar, hand crank and USB
- Built-in flashlight for power cuts
- USB port can charge a phone in an emergency
- Compact and light enough to pack
- IPX3 shell shrugs off rain and splashes
- No NOAA weather band, only AM and FM

What reviewers say
Owners treat it as a backup radio rather than a daily one. They like that it keeps working without wall power and that the flashlight and phone charging are there when needed. Complaints center on slow solar and crank charging, thin sound, and the lack of weather-band channels.
- ChargingMixedOwners like having solar, crank and USB options but say the solar panel and crank take a long time to put meaningful charge back in.
- SoundCriticisedReviewers describe the speaker as small and tinny, fine for voices but weak for music.
- Power outage usePraisedBuyers value that it keeps working in blackouts and can charge a phone through the USB port.
Questions and answers
- Does it have NOAA weather channels?
- No. It tunes AM and FM only, so it will not pick up the dedicated weather-band broadcasts some emergency radios offer.
- How long does the hand crank take to charge it?
- Cranking is a trickle charge, good for a few minutes of radio or light, not a full recharge. Expect to crank for a long stretch to fill the battery.
- Can it charge my phone?
- Yes, through the USB port, but the battery is small. Treat it as an emergency top-up for a call or message, not a full phone charge.
- Is it waterproof?
- It is rated IPX3, which means it resists rain and splashes. Do not submerge it or leave it out in a downpour.
- What batteries does it use?
- It runs on a built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery and also accepts AAA batteries as a backup.
- Is it good for camping?
- Yes for light use: it is compact, has a flashlight and needs no wall power. For music or group listening, a larger radio sounds better.
