The power goes out, the cell signal dies, and the phone is at 4 percent. Preppi’s Solar Phone Charger and Emergency Radio is built for exactly that night. It packs a 2,000 mAh battery with USB charging for a phone or tablet. The AM/FM radio has a NOAA weather band for evacuation orders when the power is out. A solar panel and a hand crank recharge it when there is no outlet in sight. An LED flashlight sits on one end. A loud SOS siren calls for help when shouting will not do.
It measures 5 inches long and weighs 11.5 ounces. It fits a glove box, a go bag, or a camp kit. It is pocket-size backup power, not a whole-house solution. CNN named it one of the best emergency radios of 2026. The Preppi Solar Phone Charger and Emergency Radio is $75, down from $100, in stock now at Preppi.
