Hi. I am looking for a device with rechargeable battery that I can take anywhere with me, bluetooth would be great, radio also. Is this it?

Yes it is all that. Sound is very good. Bluetooth range about 30 feet. We don't take it anywhere besides out on the deck it's a little heavy maybe around 5 lbs I really like ours had it about a year now.

Yes, although the unit is a little heavy to tote around. That being said, the sound is great, works well on battery power, has bluetooth and a good radio. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it. Just be careful with the iPod dock connector as it broke from removing iPad at too much of an angle. Not the fault of the product, just know you need to pull off devices carefully.

Regarding the audio connection, you can go with Bluetooth, which is wireless. Or the normal 3mm audio plug (not wireless). Regarding power, the unit must be plugged into a electrical socket, there is no battery.

It's a good radio however it may not be what they want. Currently no DC charger, does not take AA / AAA batteries so keeping them powered up in remote locations would be challenging.

I like my 2500bt a lot. I looked at the 3500bhs as well and am glad I chose the 2500bt. I have used 3 different Android phones with it and they all work perfectly with it. The bluetooth autoconnect is a great feature that all radios should have! Everything about the radio is awesome. I also stream music with bluetooth and it is pretty clear as well. Most apps stream the song info as well which is awesome!

Yes. It's a good radio. Bluetooth for hands free and a USB to charge phone. I bought one for my son's car and it works great.

not sure about the best combo light/phone recharger/radio, I'm still in the market for one. I just put that one on here for reference. As far as MRE, I tried the ones the gave us after Hurricane Katrina and they werent to bad. They just came in a tan package. I cant remember the brand. I have a few wishlists going with what is gonna be in my kit, minus the firepower of course since they dont have that on here

Not intended to be portable, no batteries designed in. There is a 120vac wall wart plug-in but I am unsure what the output voltage & current are. However, if you have some electronics smarts, you could likely rig up a converter to go from the car's 12vdc to whatever the radio requires. Would not think that would cost too much. I'll have a look at it when I get home.

No man, it doesn't have an internal battery sadly. By portable they just mean self contained. Its quite heavy though. Slightly awkward to lug around. Great speakers though. Definitely worth the price tag IMO. You will need a 110v power source to operate them at all times though. You can run it on a car battery with the 12v adapter. Gotta leave the vehicle running though or it'll drain it fast.

It recharges like all other bluetooths. Some bluetooths charge for a certain amount of hours and then it is time to buy new one. They are sealed units. That is how they make money. They keep you coming back. This unit is very nice though. I purchased three so far.

A word to the wise....stay away from this radio. Doesn't matter what type of battery you use, it still sucks. The strongest power source available would be its internal power supply cord and there's no difference in reception between the batteries and the cord. It's a horrible radio and I hope you steer clear. Mick

Great Questions. I have had mine for almost a year. I use it several times a week and it is great. It charges in little sunlight. I experienced discharge of battery and replaced the battery after a year ( keeping in mind I used it on a daily basis but I let it sit for about 4 months). My suggestion is to remove the battery for long term storage or when you need to use it or only putting battery in once every month to recharge if needed. I have found it very useful when camping, in the office, and in power outages for getting emergency alerts when the power goes out. From my understanding you should be able to find a replacement battery (only one needed) on amazon for around $10 (Ambient Weather WR-BATT 3.7V / 800 mAh Rechargeable Battery (LIR123A)) . One of the reasons I chose this unit is because the rechargeable battery could be changed. Allot of these rechargeable type units the battery can not be changed. But overall the reception is good, all the charging options are included with the unit, the unit recharges small electronics, and it is compact and lightweight. The volume is not overly loud, some may want a louder unit but i think it is loud enough. I would recommend this unit if you are looking at alternatives like this one for a reasonable price.

Mine died before I got a chance to use it, and it wasn't the rechargeable batteries. Not worth your money IMHO. Look at this: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Solar-Powered-Bluetooth-Car-HFB-500/dp/B001N7RCGO/ref=sr_1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1402843834&sr=1-6&keywords=solar+bluetooth+hands+free

I had no luck finding one. I ended up returning the device since it would not hold the charge for more than 5 min. Good luck with yours through.I have been battling for 2 months to get my refund. SVC the company that sold it, is not so good at customer service:(

I replaced the 410 with the jabra 510 MS. It's like the 410 but adds bluetooth and batteries so it can function with your cell phone, even when it's unplugged. Awesome device. I carry it everywhere.

Judith, did you ever find a battery operated one? It's just what I'm looking for. Thanks!

It can be portable. Just need batteries. New models come with rechargeable battery.
