Cell phone, reliable recharges

Re: Cell phone, reliable recharges

Yes. Then you can't use it any more.

In that case it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. You buy one to have some independence from batteries and then find you are still dependent on some rarely used battery which may or may not be good when you try to use it.

The original BayGen radio was nice (if big). The energy was stored in a spring. No battery at all.

I do have two crank radios that have LED lights attached to them and yep, they do get used every time the power goes out here, at night. The radios were used constantly when the quakes hit, about nine hours' worth for both. Cool to learn that after a million cranks someone charged a cell phone, heck, it worked at the time.
