Blaupunkt ER10GC solar-powered camping radio with dynamo crank

The Blaupunkt ER10GC is a compact travel radio designed for trips, camping, and situations where you need a reliable source of information and lighting. It receives AM and FM radio signals and features a telescopic antenna, an SOS signal, a three-mode LED flashlight, and a reading lamp. With multiple charging methods, the radio is convenient to use even when far from a power grid.

Travel radio with AM and FM receiver

The analog tuner allows you to select FM frequencies from 87.5 to 108 MHz and AM frequencies from 522 to 1620 kHz. Stations are tuned manually, and the telescopic antenna can be extended and rotated to help improve signal reception. In an emergency, an SOS signal with a volume of 110 dB can help draw the attention of those nearby.

The built-in flashlight has three lighting modes, allowing you to choose between directional, diffused, or mixed lighting. The reading lamp is activated by lifting the solar panel. The radio’s battery level indicator helps monitor remaining power, and the power bank function allows you to use the device as an additional energy source.

Various power and charging methods

The radio is equipped with a 3.7 V, 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery. It can be charged via the USB-C port, using the solar panel, or the manual dynamo crank. USB-C charging takes about 4–5 hours, and the battery life is up to 15 hours, depending on the volume selected. Solar charging provides additional autonomy, though a full charge in direct sunlight may take about 60 hours.
