Denver Solar Crank Radio - SCR-2010MK2

Product Description 

Stay Connected When Power Isn’t Available

• The Denver SCR-2010MK2 Solar Crank Radio is a compact emergency and outdoor radio designed to keep you informed, illuminated and connected when conventional power is unavailable.
• Combining an AM/FM radio, rechargeable 2000mAh lithium-ion battery, solar charging, hand-crank charging, LED flashlight and SOS siren, it is built around versatility and emergency preparedness.
• Whether you are preparing for a power cut, heading outdoors, camping, travelling or simply want a reliable backup communication device at home, the SCR-2010MK2 provides several ways to keep it operating.
• The updated MK2 version features USB-C input for charging alongside a USB-A output for charging compatible mobile devices, making it particularly practical as an emergency power solution.

AM/FM Radio for Reliable Broadcasts

• Tune into AM and FM radio broadcasts using the traditional analogue tuning controls.
• The radio supports:
  • FM: 88–108 MHz
  • AM: 530–1620 kHz
• An extendable FM antenna helps improve reception, particularly when the radio is being used outdoors or in locations where the signal may be weaker.
• The straightforward tuning dial makes it easy to locate stations without relying on a digital display or electronic menu system.
• Radio reception can be particularly valuable during emergencies, allowing you to continue receiving news, weather information and other broadcasts even when internet or mobile services are unavailable.

Multiple Ways to Keep the Radio Powered

• One of the SCR-2010MK2's biggest advantages is its range of power options.
• The integrated 2000mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be replenished through several methods:
  • USB-C charging
  • Solar panel
  • Hand-crank dynamo
• The radio can also operate from 3 × AAA/LR03 1.5V batteries, providing an additional backup power option when the rechargeable battery is unavailable or depleted.
• This combination makes the SCR-2010MK2 considerably more flexible than a conventional portable radio because you are not dependent on a single charging method.
• The built-in battery has a 3.7V / 2000mAh capacity, providing a dedicated rechargeable power source for the radio and its integrated functions.

Solar Charging

• The integrated solar panel allows the rechargeable battery to be replenished using sunlight.
• This makes the SCR-2010MK2 useful for camping, outdoor activities and emergency situations where mains electricity may not be available.
• Simply position the solar panel towards direct sunlight to begin solar charging.
• Solar charging is intended as an independent backup charging method rather than a fast replacement for USB charging. Denver's documentation notes that a full solar charge can take 50 hours or more, depending on weather and sunlight conditions.

Hand-Crank Dynamo Charging

• When sunlight or external power is unavailable, the built-in hand-crank dynamo provides another way to generate power.
• Fold out the crank handle and manually turn it to generate electricity for the rechargeable battery.
• The hand-crank system makes the radio particularly useful during prolonged power outages or emergency situations where access to electricity is limited.
• Denver's manual specifies rotating the crank clockwise for several minutes to activate the battery, followed by continuous rotation at approximately 130–150 RPM for charging.
• The hand-crank function means you can continue generating power without needing disposable batteries, a wall outlet or access to sunlight.

2000mAh Rechargeable Battery

• The SCR-2010MK2 incorporates a 2000mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
• The battery provides the primary rechargeable power source for the radio and integrated emergency features.
• Denver specifies up to 15 hours of radio operation or up to 12 hours of flashlight use from a full charge, depending on operating conditions.
• A battery-level indicator helps you keep track of the remaining charge.
• The indicator uses four levels to communicate the approximate remaining battery capacity:
  • 1 indicator: 3–25%
  • 2 indicators: 25–50%
  • 3 indicators: 50–75%
  • 4 indicators: 75–100%

USB-C Charging

• The MK2 version replaces the older model's charging input with a USB-C input, providing a modern and widely compatible connection for replenishing the internal rechargeable battery.
• USB-C charging offers a convenient alternative to solar and hand-crank charging when access to a USB power source is available.
• A USB charging cable is included with the radio.
• This makes it easy to recharge the unit from suitable USB power sources when you have access to mains electricity, a computer, power bank or another compatible USB power source.

USB-A Emergency Power Output

• The SCR-2010MK2 can also act as a basic emergency power source for compatible mobile devices.
• Its USB-A output provides 5V / 1000mA, allowing you to connect a phone using an appropriate USB cable.
• This can be particularly useful when your phone battery is running low during a power outage or while travelling away from conventional charging facilities.
• The USB output is intended as an emergency charging facility rather than a high-speed smartphone charger.

1W LED Flashlight

• The integrated 1W LED flashlight provides practical illumination when you need to move around in darkness or during a power failure.
• The LED produces 100 lumens, giving the radio a useful secondary function beyond broadcasting.
• A dedicated LED light switch allows the flashlight to be activated independently.
• The flashlight can be useful for:
  • Finding your way during a blackout
  • Reading in low-light conditions
  • Camping and outdoor activities
  • Locating equipment during an emergency
  • Illuminating an area when conventional lighting is unavailable
• Denver specifies up to 12 hours of flashlight operation from a full charge.

SOS Emergency Siren

• The SCR-2010MK2 also includes an SOS siren designed to attract attention during emergencies.
• Switching the unit to siren mode activates the emergency alarm together with a flashing LED light.
• This combination provides both an audible and visual signal that can help draw attention to the user's location.
• It can be particularly useful if assistance is required outdoors, during an evacuation or in another situation where visibility and communication are limited.

Designed for Emergency Preparedness

• The SCR-2010MK2 is designed around the principle of having several independent ways to access essential functions.
• If mains power is unavailable, you can use the solar panel or hand crank to replenish the rechargeable battery.
• If the rechargeable battery cannot be used, 3 × AAA batteries provide another power option.
• If you need illumination, the built-in 1W/100-lumen LED flashlight is immediately available.
• If you need to attract attention, the SOS siren and flashing LED provide an emergency signalling function.
• If you need information, the AM/FM radio provides access to conventional broadcasts.
• If your phone needs emergency power, the USB-A output can provide a 5V/1A charging connection.

Ideal for Camping and Outdoor Adventures

• The SCR-2010MK2 is well suited to camping, hiking, caravanning and other outdoor activities where access to conventional electrical outlets may be limited.
• Solar charging provides an independent energy source during daylight hours, while the hand crank gives you another option when sunlight is unavailable.
• The radio can provide entertainment and information, while the flashlight gives you a practical source of illumination after dark.
• Its compact dimensions of 15 × 7.8 × 6.5 cm make it easy to pack into an emergency kit, backpack, camping bag or travel equipment.

Compact and Portable Design

• Measuring 15.00 × 7.80 × 6.50 cm, the SCR-2010MK2 is designed to provide several emergency functions without taking up significant storage space.
• Its integrated controls keep the essential functions easily accessible, including:
  • Power/volume control
  • Tuning control
  • AM/FM selection
  • Siren/radio selection
  • LED light switch
  • Battery selector
  • USB-C charging input
  • USB-A charging output
• The extendable FM antenna folds into the overall design when not required.
• The integrated hand crank can also be folded away when the radio is being transported.

A Practical Backup for Home Power Cuts

• The SCR-2010MK2 makes an excellent addition to an emergency preparedness kit at home.
• During a power outage, it can provide radio broadcasts and illumination without relying solely on mains electricity.
• Its rechargeable battery can be topped up through USB-C before an expected outage, while solar and hand-crank charging provide alternatives if the outage lasts longer than expected.
• The AAA battery compartment provides an additional fallback should the internal rechargeable battery become unavailable.
• The USB-A output can also provide emergency power to a compatible phone, helping maintain access to mobile communication when other charging options are unavailable.

What Makes the Denver SCR-2010MK2 Stand Out
