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
will be frequently moving your detector between multiple cars, the idea of a battery powered
detector may be appealing. We do not typically recommend cordless models, however. Cordless
detectors have to be very careful about their power consumption, so they generally don't perform as
well as similarly priced corded models.
If you've decided that a cordless model is definitely right for you, our top picks are listed below.

The Escort Solo S2 is a cordless radar detector that is powered by 2 AA batteries. This model will
typically operate for a month on a set of batteries, and delivers above average performance for a
cordless model. Do no expect the same sensitivity from this model that you would from a corded
Escort radar detector.

The XTR-540 is the latest cordless radar detector from Whistler. Whistler is unique when it comes
to cordless products in that their detectors have rechargeble batteries and an integrated battery
charger. When the batteries need recharging, simply plug the radar detector into the cigarette
lighter for a charge. Because of the rechargeable batteries, Whistler's cordless models have the
same sensitivity as their mid-range corded models. The XTR-540 is the most advanced cordless model
from Whistler featuring a text display, digital compass, and multiple filtering modes.
