FWIW- I think they've dropped the "Baygen" name and are just selling them as "Freeplay" now.<br><br>Of the Freeplay models, I prefer the older, larger ones. The new smaller form factor is nice, but the older ones have better sound, and the newer ones seem to have an internal NiCad (not LiON or even NiMH) non-removable batteries inside, which I think is a bad idea. It does prevent dropouts when using in solar mode, and gives you some extra time to crank if it runs down.. but NiCads typically do NOT like to be shallow-cycled, and have very finite lifetimes in cycles. Besides, freedom from all the various hassles of batteries was part of the point of these radios in the first place.
