SWMBO wants a battery operated radio that can pick up Radio 4 via the internet (we have a domestic wifi network.

What are her options ?

Most that are capable of that are also capable of DAB and FM.
Digital radios eat batteries quickly so it is a bad idea!

Some of the Pure or Revo ranges have rechargeable batteries .The Revo
I have runs for about 7 to 8 hours on a charge.
Seems a bit limiting to tie oneself to a mains socket if you are using
a WIFI radio.

And a decent FM radio will run for about ten times longer.
