Freeplay Energy has announced the launched of its new Freeplay Companion, an integrated compact device that uses a variety of energy sources in order to power itself. The Freeplay Companion will harness solar, rechargeable, and human-powered energy in order to convert it into electricity that will subsequently power portable, consumer products to do away with conventional battery powered systems which more often than not, is a burden to our environment with their toxicity and cost required to dispose of them properly. Eco friendly and sleek.

It measures  125mm long and is  travel friendly, weighing 200 grams. You get a solar panel and a crank – solar during the day and if needed during the night, crank. Say goodbye to disposable batteries forever, with the Freeplay Companion Radio providing assured listening, anytime, anywhere. It will come in a compact form factor, with the robust radio boasting a rubberized body with recessed control knobs for greater impact resistance and comfort. The AM/FM radio comes with an earphone socket, a flashlight with 3 LEDs with optics optimized for a focused light.

Rahul Sharma, vice president, marketing and sales for Freeplay Energy say, “We are excited to be the first green technology company to bring this product to market. Freeplay’s products are built to last and the compact size of this product and integrated nature of the offering brings tremendous value for the North American consumer. Retailing at approximately $30 to $32 dollars we feel that the Freeplay Companion offers as much utility as the Swiss Army Knife – making it an essential for all outdoor enthusiasts.”
