Emergency Hand-Crank 7-in-1 Radio
New Zealanders understand emergencies.
Earthquakes. Storm events. Power cuts. Civil Defence alerts. Even just being stuck on the side of the road with a flat battery and no signal.
That’s exactly why we introduced our Emergency Hand Crank 7-in-1 Radio into the OEM Audio product range.
I found this product at a Hong Kong trade show and immediately saw the potential. The concept was good — but we worked through a few refinements to make it genuinely practical for Kiwi households.
The result is a unit that’s not just for emergencies — it’s actually useful day to day.
Why Every Home Should Have One
When the power goes out, most modern homes lose:
- Internet
- WiFi calling
- TV
- Device charging
- Often even basic lighting
In a real emergency, a simple battery radio becomes one of the most important tools in the house.
But we didn’t want to sell a “basic” radio.
We wanted something people would actually use.
What Makes Ours Different
1. Digital Radio Display
Many emergency radios still use analogue tuning dials. They work — but they’re imprecise.
We upgraded this model to include a clear digital display, making it easy to tune accurately to your preferred AM or FM frequency. In a Civil Defense event, that matters.
2. 4000mAh Built-In Power Bank
A proper emergency device needs to keep your phone alive.
This unit includes a 4000mAh internal battery, giving you the ability to top up your smartphone when the grid is down.
Charge it via:
- USB
- Solar panel
- Or hand crank
It gives you options when options are limited.
3. Bluetooth Connectivity
Let’s be honest — everything is better with Bluetooth.
We added Bluetooth so the radio isn’t just an emergency device that sits untouched in a cupboard. You can use it:
- At the beach
- On camping trips
- In the garage
- At the bach
If it’s useful day to day, you’re far more likely to keep it charged and ready.
True Multi-Function Capability
- Our 7-in-1 unit includes:
- AM/FM radio
- Hand crank generator
- Solar charging panel
- USB charging
- Large 4000mAh power bank
- LED torch
- Bluetooth speaker
- Digital display
It’s compact, practical and built to be thrown into a glovebox, emergency kit or kitchen drawer.
Not Just for Natural Disasters
While it’s ideal for earthquake or storm preparedness, it’s also perfect for:
- Boating.
- Camping.
- Hunting trips.
- Road trips.
- Work vehicles.
Keeping in the caravan.
It’s one of those products that quietly makes sense once you own one
A Simple Recommendation
Every household should have:
- A torch
- A basic first aid kit
- Bottled water
- And a reliable emergency radio
This ticks all of those communication and backup power boxes in one device.
