Never be caught without power again with the August MB291 Windup Radio. This highly versatile and lightweight emergency radio is engineered for true off-grid independence, offering innovative charging methods that require absolutely no electricity.
Note: this is a AM/FM version of the radio - for the product that uses DAB/DAB+ please see the MB290 model
The August MB291 provides three reliable ways to stay powered:
Wind-Up Hand Crank Dynamo: Need a quick boost? Simply unfold the integrated hand crank. This kinetic energy generator provides instant power, perfect for emergencies or keeping the music playing when no other source is available.
Passive Solar Power: As a true solar windup radio, the August MB291 features efficient solar panels on top that passively generate a continuous flow of electricity. While we recommend an initial full charge via USB, the solar panel is ideal for maintaining the battery over time or gradually restoring power, ensuring you're always ready for your next adventure.
Rechargeable Battery: The long-life 4500mAh internal battery can also be conveniently charged via USB, providing a fast and efficient way to power up from any USB port.
These sustainable charging options make the August MB291 the ultimate companion for camping, hiking, long bike rides, or as a reliable emergency kit for your car. Stay connected, entertained, and powered up, no matter where you are.
The August MB291 is equipped with a vital SOS noise alert. This powerful alarm can be activated in an emergency, providing a loud, attention-grabbing signal for help when you need it most.
Beyond its emergency features, the August MB291 excels as a portable audio device. Enjoy your favourite tunes wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.0, connecting your phone, tablet, or laptop up to 10 meters away.
The MB290 effortlessly picks up traditional AM/FM stations. Easily scan for channels, save your favourites, and switch between them with ease.
Note: the device has additional NOAA/WB functions like weather, shipping and the emergency broadcast radio.that are for use only in the US / Canada.
Once the August MB291 is charged via your chosen method, its USB port transforms it into a convenient power bank. You can use it to charge phones, tablets, and more wherever you are, making it an indispensable tool for any outdoor enthusiast.
