User questions & answers

Question:	What is the SOS alarm, and does it actually send a signal
Answer:	No
Question:	If the 2000mh power bank is depleted and my phone is plugged into it, would the phone still charge off of the triple a batterys
Answer:	There is no indication that the battery is replaceable. If it were, it would probably cost more than a new flashlight anyway. When/if it gives out, you'd throw the battery away anyhow. That is the bigger pollutant than the rest of the plastic case. With all due respect to the environment, I'd say it's a minor worry.
Question:	How long of a life does this radio have? And I am talking about it’s full life after charging over and over? 1 year? 2-3 years
Answer:	It says on the instruction sheet that it s NiMH
Question:	Can you keep the 2000mah battery going indefinitely with cranking in case of a hurricane that knocks out power for weeks
Answer:	Not very bright. I'd say around 50 lumens

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a crank to generate electricity or a crank to wind it up with a spring that then generates the electricity
Answer:	I use the Ultra Conditioning burt's bees flavor because peppermint oil irritates my lips as well. Ultra Conditioning works well for me.

We hope to hear from you! -Kim with Burt's Bees
Question:	Will the 3 rechargable batteries charge when usb is plugged in to a charger
Answer:	No mintiness at all. I've had the peppermint one before and that irritated my lips more than it helped them. This moisturizing formula seems to work well. It's more oily than a Chapstick where you get protection and healing from it's waxier content. This does tend to run off the lips easily and needs reapplied more often after sipping a beverage. I originally at first trying BB moisturizing thought it better than original or medicated Chapstick, but Ive changed my mind. The plus about this BB is that it adds shine to the lips and feels nourishing until it dries up or fades away from the lips. It's says it's 4 hour formula but I'd give it 30-40 minutes at best. Hope this helps you and others. :)
