Denver Solar Crank Radio - SCR-2005

Product Description 

Stay Informed, Powered and Prepared

• The Denver SCR-2005 Solar Crank Radio is a compact multi-purpose emergency radio designed to keep you informed and illuminated when access to conventional power is limited.
• Combining an AM/FM radio, LED flashlight, SOS light, solar charging, hand-crank charging and a built-in 2000mAh lithium-ion battery, the SCR-2005 is designed to provide several essential functions in one portable unit.
• It is particularly useful for emergency preparedness, camping, hiking, travelling, caravanning and power cuts, where access to mains electricity may not always be available.
• The radio can be powered and recharged using three different methods: USB-C, solar energy and the integrated hand crank.

AM/FM Radio

• The SCR-2005 provides access to both FM and AM radio broadcasts, allowing you to listen to conventional radio stations without relying on an internet connection.
• The supported frequency ranges are:
  • FM: 87–108 MHz
  • AM: 520–1620 kHz
• A built-in radio antenna can be extended to help improve FM reception.
• A physical FM/AM band selector makes switching between the two broadcast bands straightforward.
• The analogue tuning dial allows you to manually search for available stations.
• A dedicated green radio tuner indicator illuminates when a radio station is being received.
• With a maximum output power of 2W, the integrated speaker provides the radio's audio output for listening at home or outdoors.

Three Ways to Recharge

• One of the SCR-2005's most useful features is its ability to generate or receive power through multiple charging methods.
• You can recharge the built-in battery using:
  • USB-C
  • Solar power
  • Hand crank
• Having several charging options means the radio does not have to depend entirely on an electrical outlet.
• USB-C provides the most convenient method when you have access to a suitable USB power source.
• Solar charging allows the unit to draw energy from sunlight.
• The hand crank provides a manual power-generation option when neither mains electricity nor sunlight is readily available.

Solar Charging

• An integrated solar panel allows the SCR-2005 to recharge using sunlight.
• Simply place the radio under direct sunlight and the charging indicator will illuminate while the battery is receiving solar energy.
• Denver specifies a 0.3W solar panel and indicates that solar charging can take 40–50 hours, making it best viewed as a long-term supplementary charging method rather than a rapid charging solution.
• Solar charging is especially useful during outdoor trips, camping or extended power outages where access to conventional electricity may be unavailable.
• Because the solar panel is built directly into the radio, there is no separate solar charger to carry.

Hand-Crank Charging

• When sunlight and USB power are unavailable, the integrated hand crank gives you another way to generate power.
• The crank can be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise to partially recharge the internal battery.
• Denver specifies that 10 minutes of hand cranking can provide approximately 44 minutes of FM radio playback at low-to-medium volume.
• This makes the hand crank particularly useful in emergencies, where even a small amount of generated power can help keep the radio operational.
• The crank is integrated into the body of the radio, so you do not need to carry a separate dynamo or generator.

2000mAh Rechargeable Battery

• The SCR-2005 features a built-in 2000mAh lithium-ion battery with a nominal voltage of 3.7V.
• Denver states that the battery can provide up to 15 hours of radio operation or up to 12 hours of flashlight use, depending on operating conditions.
• A visual charging/battery indicator provides useful information about the charging status of the unit.
• The integrated battery gives the radio a convenient rechargeable power source for normal use, while the solar panel and hand crank provide additional options when conventional charging is unavailable.

USB-C Charging

• The SCR-2005 uses a modern USB Type-C charging port for replenishing its internal battery.
• The included USB-C cable can be connected to a computer, laptop or suitable 5V DC USB charger.
• A red LED charging indicator flashes while the battery is charging and remains illuminated when charging is complete.
• Denver lists a USB charging time of 2 hours on its product specification page.
• USB-C charging provides the quickest and most convenient way to recharge the radio when a suitable power source is available.

Emergency Phone Charging

• The SCR-2005 can also be used as an emergency power source for a compatible mobile phone.
• Its integrated USB-A output port allows you to connect a phone charging cable directly to the radio.
• This can be particularly useful during a power cut, camping trip or other situation where your phone battery is running low and a conventional charger is unavailable.
• To use the function, open the protective rubber cover on the side of the radio and connect the phone to the USB-A output.
• The phone charging function operates from the radio's internal battery, so the available charging capacity depends on the remaining battery level.

LED Flashlight

• The SCR-2005 incorporates an LED flashlight for illumination in dark environments.
• The flashlight is controlled using a dedicated physical button, keeping it independent from the radio function.
• Denver specifies a 0.5W LED flashlight.
• The flashlight can be useful during:
  • Power cuts
  • Camping trips
  • Hiking
  • Finding equipment in dark areas
  • Emergency situations
  • Outdoor activities after sunset
• With the radio's rechargeable battery providing up to 12 hours of flashlight use, it can also serve as a useful standalone emergency light.

SOS Emergency Light

• The flashlight also doubles as an SOS signalling light.
• Pressing the flashlight button cycles through the available lighting functions, including the SOS mode.
• The SOS function provides a flashing visual signal that can help attract attention when assistance is required.
• This adds another layer of emergency functionality to the radio, particularly when it is being used outdoors or in low-visibility situations.

Built for Power Cuts and Emergencies

• The SCR-2005 is particularly suited to emergency preparedness because several of its most important functions can operate independently of mains electricity.
• During a power outage, you can continue listening to AM/FM radio broadcasts for news and information.
• The integrated LED flashlight provides illumination without needing a separate torch.
• If the rechargeable battery becomes depleted, the hand crank can generate additional power.
• During daylight hours, the solar panel provides another charging option.
• If a phone needs emergency power, the USB-A output can provide a charging connection.
• This combination makes the SCR-2005 a useful addition to an emergency kit at home, in a car, campervan or backpack.

Ideal for Camping and Outdoor Use

• The SCR-2005 is designed to be small and portable, making it suitable for taking on outdoor trips.
• Its integrated solar panel means you can recharge it without carrying a dedicated solar charger.
• The hand crank provides a manual backup when sunlight is unavailable.
• The radio provides entertainment and information, while the flashlight offers practical illumination after dark.
• The SOS function provides an additional safety feature for outdoor use.
• The compact design also means it can be stored easily in an emergency preparedness kit or travel bag.

Simple Physical Controls

• The SCR-2005 uses straightforward physical controls rather than complicated menus or touchscreen controls.
• The main controls include:
  • Radio antenna
  • Flashlight power button
  • Radio tuner dial
  • FM/AM band switch
  • Radio power and volume knob
  • Charging indicator
  • USB-A output
  • USB-C charging input
  • Hand crank
• This simple control layout makes the radio easy to operate even when you need to use it quickly during an emergency.
• The USB ports are protected by a rubber cover, helping keep the connections covered when they are not being used.

Compact Emergency Equipment

• The SCR-2005 combines several individual emergency accessories into one device.
• Instead of carrying a separate radio, flashlight, emergency light, solar charger and hand-crank charger, the SCR-2005 brings these functions together in a single compact unit.
• Its small form factor makes it practical for:
  • Emergency preparedness kits
  • Camping equipment
  • Hiking bags
  • Car emergency kits
  • Travel bags
  • Caravans and motorhomes
  • Home power-outage kits
• The result is a versatile device designed around maintaining access to information, lighting and basic power when conventional electricity is unavailable.
