The invention is an electronic device having a removable solar rechargeable power supply. A power supply module and battery pack are removable from the base unit as a sub-unit, or as a kit. The power supply contains batteries that are replaceable and rechargeable. Additionally, the power supply contains a solar cell secured to the power supply and integrated such that the solar cell, when receiving radiation, generates a voltage managed by the circuit to recharge the batteries until a completion level is reached, whereupon the recharging circuit reacts to prevent overcharging and damage to either the circuit or the batteries. An optional feature includes a circuit linking feature to electronically couple to the power supply circuit of the device such that the batteries supply power to the main unit during normal use until the batteries are drained and then the solar cell provides operative power to the main unit.
