Anything out there to replace my old Pure Move 400 DAB radio ? Can't seem to find anything like these in terms of size and internal rechargeable battery with a good battery life?

August rechargable one on amazon is deally good. No idea on actual battery life, but lasts most of the day. Only issue ive ever had, is when you have it connected to a battery pack at the same time as your phone. Seems to interfere with the signal.

Sad days, mines still running with dents and a cracked screen

My old pure move of circa 20 years is still going on the same rechargeable battery pack.

If I was to replace it this Sony one looks pretty good.

Roberts play 10, use high capacity rechargable aa batteries and you get a good 24 hours solid use.

You can get a new battery pack on eBay, I got a 6000mah one for about £20 from Germany, I get at least 48 hours constant use off one charge, and I do have mine on through the night.

Had a pure move for years, battered and abused and still doing 40hrs on a charge. Bought a august radio, does about 25hrs on a full charge which only takes a couple of hours unlike the pure move that took ages to fully charge. Good little radio but preferred pure move tbh
