My lovely old radio has died and I am looking for a replacement. It's in the bathroom so it needs to be battery powered. All the DAB radios I look at seem to have very short battery lives. My old last lasted for about 1 year on 2 AA batteries!

What can you get these days that will last a long time before having to replace the batteries?

I use this one @toyoutous

It has rechargeable batteries built-in and one charge seems to last a decent amount of time, but note you that although it comes with a USB A to micro USB cable you'll need a USB Plug Charger (which most people already have). The tuning, AM/FM, is a bit fiddly. It's small and cheap so you're not getting Dolby Surround Sound. Also useful for the apocalypse although I wouldn't rely too much on the functionality claimed to recharge a mobile phone.

There are similar products with a larger battery capacity. Alternatively, there are other wind up/rechargeable radios that you can get for less than 20 quid.
