Unit is well made, is recharged, is built super solid, has proven. 2% of users noticed that: Charger was defective e, worked 1 time, don't work, is only the cigarette lighter style. Battery clip is a very flimsy plastic, has failed twice, is useless, is on radio. Device is pathetically fragile. Clip is not trustworthy, is still on my kayak, don't use, is not a big deal.
