The KA500L is an upgraded version of the popular KA500 model. Based on customer's feedback, we made a large solar panel to power and charge the radio more efficiently. In addition, we also changed the battery from 600 MAH to 2500 MAH so the radio will last longer during power outage with full charge. Specifically designed for emergency situations, the KA500L offers different methods to power itself. Those methods include AC USB adapter (not included), the built-in rechargeable Lithium battery which can be charged from the AC USB adapter, by hand cranking, by solar panel or by a PC, and the dynamo hand crank which not only can keep the built-in battery fully charged but also provides power for the radio even when no battery is installed. With its revolutionary design and versatile functions, its an ideal companion for emergency preparedness purposes, outdoor activities as well as traveling.
