Full details
The VQ Retro Mini Rechargeable Battery is the essential power accessory for owners of the VQ Retro Mini DAB/FM radio who want to break free from wall outlets. It provides up to 25 hours of portable playback, making it perfect for listeners who enjoy radio in the kitchen, garden, or while traveling. While it significantly enhances mobility, users should note that the battery requires the radio to be connected to mains power for recharging, meaning it does not function as a standalone external power bank.
