Cordless Radar Detectors
Cordless radar detectors operate on batteries instead of requiring that you plug a power cord
into your cigarette lighter. Cordless detectors are popular because of their added convenience.
If you believe you will frequently move your detector between multiple cars, the idea of a battery
powered detector may be appealing. Motorcycle drivers may have the biggest need for a cordless
radar detector. On a bike, cords can really get in the way, and some motorcycle's do not even have
a cigarette lighter plug.
Most cordless models provide the option of using batteries or a power cord.
This is a very nice feature and can save you if your batteries die
unexpectedly. Our most popular cordless detectors are the
Escort Solo S2, the
Whistler 1788, and the
Whistler XTR-185.
Because of its combination of performance and features, the Solo S2 could definitely be
considered the best of the cordless models. The Whistler 1788 and XTR-185 are also very popular,
combining great performance with rechargeability! The Whistler cordless models are the only cordless
detectors to offer POP mode detection, and rechargeable batteries with a built-in charger!
Even with all of the benefits of the cordless detectors, we do not recommend that you buy one unless
you specifically need the cordless ability. Because cordless detectors have to be very careful about their
power consumption, they generally don't perform as well as similarly priced corded models.
