FAQ
Depending on audio playback volume, the battery will run >30 hours on a single charge, the flashlight can also be on for >40 hours and the ambient light will run for >20 hours depending on the brightness setting.
How much wattage does the speaker put out?The speaker puts out 2 watts.
Can the 4 minutes of cranking be stopped & started or does it absolutely have to be constantly?The cranking can be stopped and started. Each time the crank is rotated the energy generated is stored in the battery so it will accumulate over time.
Can you hook up two or more together?Technically you could charge one SIDEKICK radio from another but there is generally no purpose to do so. You can also tune both to the same radio station to listen at the same time. However, for the Bluetooth operation, there is no current way to connect two devices at the same time to the same Bluetooth source to get two-speaker Bluetooth audio.
What is the weight of this item?The Sidekick weighs 1 lb. 6 oz..
