The MB290 Radio uses the audio and radio skills from August home radios and packages it with added functionality and extreme battery life to ensure your adventure has a suitable soundtrack, enough charge and is well-lit!
High-Capacity Fast Charge Survival Radio
The MB290 features a 4500mAh battery providing long, dynamic battery life.

This allows you to conserve battery when you need it.
3 Charging Methods
- Solar Power - The Solar Panels on the top of the device passively generate a constant flow of electricity. Please ensure you fully charge the device with the power cable first, before using solar over time to maintain/restore smaller amounts of charge
- Hand Crank Dynamo - The foldable crank stores neatly along the side of the windup radio speaker and can be deployed at will. Turn the handle to generate kinetic electricity and give a burst of energy to the device in emergencies or to keep the music going
- Rechargeable Integrated Battery - The internal battery can also be charged by a power cable, included. The USB-C connection is fast, and efficient and makes charging accessible via any powered USB port!
Camping Radio with Built-in Power Bank
Once the MB290 is charged via your chosen method, you can use the powered USB port to charge phones, tablets, electric stoves and more around the campsite. The USB port is universally accessible to any charging cable (USB 2.0, 3.0).
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
The MB290 features Bluetooth connection to use the high-quality 40mm drivers as a wireless speaker. Connect a phone, tablet, laptop and more to play your own music through the speaker up to 10 meters away. Pack up or set up a site without disconnecting, and enjoy whatever audio you choose. The speaker is versatile, and able to play music well anywhere you might take it.
Bluetooth 5.0 is twice as fast as 4.2 and with a higher capacity for high-fidelity music. Don’t waste time on hard-to-use equipment, connect any Bluetooth-enabled output to the speaker at will.
DAB, DAB+ and FM Radio
The attached telescopic extendable aerial picks up DAB and DAB+ digital radio as well as FM stations as you choose. Scan for channels on either network and move between registered stations easily. Save and pre-set channels to recall later, saving you time and making switching between two stations (Music, News, Weather, Talk Shows etc) simple.
