User questions & answers

Question:	i need battery replacements for the eton axis . where can i get them
Answer:	I'd start with the model number and manuacturer off of the battery and search for a cordless phone battery replacement site. You should find something. It could be pricey but you should be able to look up generic replacements.
Question:	Does this charge iPhone
Answer:	It should, if you have the right cable. Honestly I have never tried to charge a phone like that because I'm afraid of damaging it. Still, this flashlight has gotten me through two hurricanes.
Question:	How much power per turn does it power this device
Answer:	I don't know that specifically, but I do know the unit works very well. After it was charged thru the AC, the battery still shows power over 6 months later (only minor usage of the radio and flashlight features during this time) I really like it and recommend it.
Question:	Are the dynamo's gears plastic or metal? I've seen the insides of a few safety products and seen the plastic broken teeth that easily afflict them
Answer:	When I bought this because it was promoted by Red Cross, the description said the gears were metal. Last week when I was checking emergency equipment and used crank, the crank froze up. I contacted manufacturer who said the gears are plastic. All of their products have plastic gears.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this product made
Answer:	sorry am not sure they were given as gifts
Question:	how much does this actually weigh? the production dimensions say 9oz, but those are not always reliable
Answer:	I have not weighed my unit, but it can't be more than 9oz. The Eton is very very light. I carry it in my EDC bugout bag.
Question:	I purchased the old model. Once I've set it in the sun to recharge, how long should I leave it there, and how long charge hold if not used
Answer:	I've mostly used the off-the-wall recharging I found longer-lasting, but when I did put it out in the sun, I had left it there for little more than half a day. The unit, of course, get hot with the exposure, but seems to work with the solar recharging—lasts about 3-4 hours continuous use with mine, though I never really tracked it.
Question:	Can you charge the device's internal batery via the DC input with an AC to DC converter? (One that would be plugged into a standard wall outlet
Answer:	Yabba dabba.... Yes. It is not clearly pointed out but does state "there's also an input to charge via a wall socket or computer using the included mini-USB cord"The cable that comes with this device is a USB Type A to USB Mini-B for DC charging the radio. If you want to use your own AC/DC converter, make sure it can either mate with the provided cable (USB A port) or can connect to the USB Mini-B port of the radio directly. Clear as mud?

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the crank metal or plastic? Also, for those owning this and the older version with the larger solar panel - is the solar charging equally strong
Answer:	According to reviews, its is rated IPx4 water resistant, IPx4 is water resistance to rain including driving rain from all directions + short-duration (generally means accidental) up to 5 minute full submerging to depth of less than 3 feet. IPv5 and 6 allow prolonged submersion at greater depths (greater depth = more pressure at seals) & withstanding directed pressurized water spray, which this doesn't have but IPx4 is probably the highest water resistance for anything close to this price point
Question:	Is the unit waterproof
Answer:	Any charger that has a micro-USB should work. But please note that Eton states in the manual for the FRX5 --NOTE: The USB power source should be able to withstand a minimum constant 500 mA power output for an extended period of time to fully charge the FRX5's 2000mAh battery.There are at least two units that state they are for the FRX5. Try searching for FR-X5 NFRX5SWXBGHope this helps!
Question:	Can you operate the radio with an external battery pack (the kind that is used to charge cell phones) in the case the internal battery fails
Answer:	I purchased a 800 mah battery but it was too large for the compartment. Any idea of what is the exact replacement battery that fits into the compartment of the Eton Portable?
Question:	What kind of battery does it have and is it replaceable
Answer:	I left it on for almost 24 hours before the volume started to fade. I figured it had a little more juice even after that.

User questions & answers

Question:	How is this model FRX2 for $35 different from the one for $43.30? I noticed one says it's by Eton and the other says it's by Grundig
Answer:	It recharges much faster by hand cranking...about a minute of that gives you 7 minutes of full volume radio...which is pretty loud. Direct sunlight, for 10 hours, will completely charge the battery, though. I realise that's not a very helpful conversion, since a full charge is certainly more than 7 minutes. That's the only comparison I saw in the instructions.
Question:	What's the capacity of the inbuilt battery? Alternately, how long will the radio play at a moderate volume on a full charge? Thanks
Answer:	The rechargeable batteries in mine last about 8 hours on a full charge with the radio playing. When I use alkaline batteries I get about 20 hours of play time.
Question:	Will this charge an iPhone 5s from the hand crank
Answer:	I have no idea. Note it recharges by use of a hand crank so does it really matter?
Question:	Does it take an AC adapter
Answer:	It doesn't turn off. It is meant to run a clock which always shows on the screen. Otherwise you can turn off all the other features like radio, charging, etc.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this model have a rubberized coating? I bought an FR-300 (now discontinued) a few years ago and now the entire surface is a sticky, gooey mess
Answer:	As far as I can tell they are the same. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Grundig and Eton are under the same umbrella now. I have had no problems with the radio I purchased and it has the Eton brand name on it.
Question:	Can you buy replacement rechargeable battery on Amazon
Answer:	When I first received the radio it played for more than three, weeks on one set of batteries - about two hours of usage per day at moderate to high volume. When I replaced the batteries, they new set lasted less than 4 days. At the same time, the amount of play for a 2 minute cranking of the dynamo declined from more than an hour to less than 10 minutes. I attempted to return the unit for replacement but I had exceeded the 30 day warranty period. So, if you purchase this model, use it as much as possible in the first 30 days and promply notify Amazon if the performance declines and you want a replacement or a refund.
Question:	what is the warranty on this item
Answer:	Yes through the usb port on the back. As long as the unit has a charge it will work.
Question:	How long to charge a cell phone
Answer:	It comes with an AC adapter. I use mine with the AC adapter most of the time, seems like the signal comes in stronger that way.
