Question about Noxon Dynamo Solar 411
Does anyone have the solar panel and crank function? Because I bought the radio to use in an emergency, but it looks like when the battery is empty you can't charge through solar and crank at all! I put the radio in the sun, the display shows that it is charging but after 10 hours of charging the battery is still empty. the same with cranking. is it just me? has anyone tested this way?

Hi,
As for the crank, I have no idea, never even tried to turn it, the solar panel on the other hand worked, but I forgot the radio on the balcony for 4 days and when I came back the radio was charged. Maybe it's a matter of time. In any case, for an emergency situation I wouldn't rely on this radio: from the quality of the construction to that of the components, it's not worth more than 20-30 francs to be generous.

The first time we charged the battery via cable. But then we always recharged it with the sun. The battery was never full again, but usually enough until the next day.
I didn't like cranking for very long - it was enough for 2 minutes of listening to the radio.
