Looks like a decent deal for a good price - probably not great quality - but what can you expect for 15 bucks

Quote from fewlio :
whereas this Vondior has a battery inside, a spring-crank radio is powered by first winding it up to store energy, then let it spin out as it gives you power. which is why I said, it's just lk ea wind up or automatic windup watch. bc those watches don't have electric batteries either.

eventually a battery dies even if not used. the best emergency radios do not have traditional electric batteries. Now the beyjin if kept out of the sun which makes things brittle, if it's not getting submerged in water or subjected ot to rain, etc, then it will be running 50 years from now. And that is not the case with the radio in this thread.

Can you provide a link to the radio you recommend? TIA

Says "at 130 rpm for 1 min gets 30 mins of light or 6 mins of radio". You likely will cause another emergency if you tried crank charging your note 20.

I wonder how many steps or miles a Fitbit would give you credit for to charge a phone like that by hand cranking.

Sure. I don't know if it's being made right now, but they are available on ebay, mercuri maybe amazon too? I didn't check. This radio is made in south africa, for the entire continent of africa. Many people don't have power or batteries, but individuals and villages can get one or two of these babies

Here's what it's called and what it looks like:

Does anyone else remember when Newegg was running those damn FAR Emerson radios like every other week? Eventually I had so many of them it wasn't even worth the effort.

Can I have one you don't use anymore?

Will give it a try, the picture is kind of misleading, it's showing AAA battery capability but I don't see it in the description. Hope it uses 18650 battery so I can swap out for a better one.

The radio takes two AA batteries.

It's obviously the same as this:
https://www.amazon.com/NPET-Emerg...B08FMC5S58

So it has a replaceable lithium ion battery, per the images. For a start, lithium ion batteries hold a charge for a reeeeeeally long time unless there is a drain on them. Second, they have hundreds of charge cycles. And third, they're quite common and easy to replace.

I doubt a spring-crank can offer to charge your phone.

It's only $15, too

Have you actually opened up that crank radio to check it won't rust and it doesn't have electrolytic capacitors that will dry out or leak, or speakers that will degrade with moisture? There's not actually a lot of electronics that will work without repairs after 50 years, even sitting in a box.

This. We're not talking about the old NiCad batteries here. Lithium Ion batteries last/hold their charge for ages when unused.

I've had wind up watches crap out on me in the past, btw 🤷 ♂️

With all due respect, because I've heard that "You don't mess around with Jim," it's not working for me, either.
