FosPower Model A3 4000mAh Emergency Weather Radio

This was exactly what I needed to add to our emergency kit. The functionally and setup of the emergency weather radio is great! The lighting on both the flash flight and reading light portion are also so wonderful. All in all it’s a great item to have and worth the little investment in having one just in case it’s needed.

Picked this up after a major storm and our whole house Generac generator failed after two hours. We were without power for 12 days. Holds a charge well and performs as advertised. Good to keep informed when all else fails, literally.

This is a compact electrical source that meets your needs during power outages. I had a 7 day outage due to ice storm. I ordered this for the next time there is a power outage in my area.

Great device! Small and compact so it fits wherever you need it to be. Definitely good for emergencies. I have used during heavy storms when power is out. Great to be able to know what's going on when no access to other communication due to power outages. Love the light on it as well as other features it provides and solar powered when needed but also has charger. Can't beat the quality for price.

UPDATE: I am changing my rating from 1 star to 5 star. I contacted the company (see OLD review) to find out if it was something I did wrong in charging the lithium battery. I now know that I should have taken it out when I first got it 4 years ago, charged it, and then recharged it every 3 months. I wasn't expecting the company to do anything since it was 4 years old, though never used. Well, the company wrote back right away asking for additional info (like model # and order # etc.). Lo and behold they are sending me a new radio!!!! I truly was not expecting this because I thought it was my ignorance that caused the radio to fail. TBH I thought since I bought this 4 years ago and it sat unopened in the box that was why it failed. I did not know that lithium batteries will die when not recharged periodically and are allowed to sit for long periods of time. I had thought it used AAA batteries. I believe the company went above and beyond what most people would expect and am very grateful. Lesson learned: Always open and check packages as soon as you receive them. OLD REVIEW I needed it last night because we were having serious flash floods. All my other devices failed, internet, phone, tv, even other weather radios that had worked for a long time and I was unable to receive warnings if we were to evacuate. So I thought of this. Unfortunately I had not charged it for the first time. Today it took several hours to charge. I checked it every hour. When I went back the last time. Nothing worked. If charging it for an extra 30 min destroyed the radio, it's not worth the money. Buy another brand. I needed it last night because we were having serious flash floods.

Battery life is great and it's is perfect size for being potable. Multiple ways to charge it make it easy for on the go. Great product for the money.

I actually like this! It has a radio, a bright light several charging ports a solar port and other neat things going on. I’m always thinking about what would I need to have in case of emergency emergencies and this would not be too heavy to carry in my backpack or a small bag. I would recommend. I like the color. I don’t regret buying this.

Easy to use. The stations sound clear. You never know when we might this something like this. The flash light is bright too.

This is a great little radio for our “off the grid” land up North. Clear. The sensor light is extremely bright. The flashlight is great and the SOS button is very loud if and when needed. This was a great purchase for the price.

Purchased this flash light/radio following an extend blackout when I discovered my older devices no longer worked. I put it through all paces and it works as promised. Where I live picking up the weather channel is tricky and I need to be outside, not a good thing if there are lightening storms. The rest works well. Only word of of caution, while the crank will help the unit build up a charge to power the radio or light, it takes a lot of cracking, so don't expect to be able to charge your phone with it. Just make sure it is always fully charged using the cable. I find it holds its charge for several months.

Lighting Nice and bright, long lasting battery. Radio could be better quality.

radio work very find, I charged it with the usb charging cable (included with the item) all lights work perfectly, fm radio play great but you need to slowly turn the tuning botton to find our radio station. when you have some kind of receiveing radio waves, a green light turns on ta say you are receiving a signal. It helps aa lot. I love the blue lights saying your are at 25, 50,75 or 100% of batery power, and when you are under the sun, a red light with a battery symbol turn on to say it's charging by the solar panel. This radio has a limited life time warranty. This item is a must for camping, fishing or any kind of Emergency, very fast shipping, Thank you FosPower to make some of those essential radio

Was exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use....the kids love it
