The FRX5 powers up in four fabulous ways€"via solar panel, hand crank, built-in rechargeable lithium battery, or alkaline batteries.
To charge your smartphone or tablet, simply plug it into the 5V‰ˆ2.1A USB port. Power will €œdump charge€ to your device, just like plugging into the wall. The FRX5 will fully charge most smartphones once.
The super-sized solar panel will charge the battery fully in 5-6 hours. Looking for alternative sources of energy? Crank the hand turbine for four minutes and you€ll produce enough power for 10-15 minutes of music, news and weather or one minute of talk time. You can also use the micro-USB cable to charge the FRX5€s built-in rechargeable battery or pop in a couple of AAA batteries if you want to go old school.
