Battery Note:

This radio utilises 2 x 18650 lithium ion batteries. It is best practice to never allow these batteries to become completely discharged. The battery manufacturer recommends maintaining a minimum of 20% charge. Leaving the radio where it is exposed to several hours of sunlight each day will achieve this, as will the occasional top up charging from a 240V USB charger.
