About Us

Most buyers ask one practical question: "Will this run my fridge, my CPAP or my sump pump, and for how long?" Most product listings answer a different one: how big the battery is. We built this site to close that gap, with runtime math shown on the page and verdicts that tell you who should skip a product.

• Runtime first. We translate watt-hours into hours of real use for the appliances people actually care about, and we show our assumptions.
• Real data, never guessed. Specs come from official product data and are re-checked when we update a page. We never claim testing we haven't done.
• Honest verdicts. Every recommendation says who should skip it, and our guides include products we considered and didn't recommend.
• Safety before sales. Anything involving home wiring, medical devices or indoor use follows strict safety standards and points you to licensed professionals where that's the right answer.

We earn money through affiliate links: when you buy through a link on our site, the retailer may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. We're an Amazon Associate. Commissions never decide what we recommend or how we rank it. Read our affiliate disclosure for the details.

Our process is documented in How We Test & Evaluate. In short: we check every product's official specifications, calculate realistic runtimes for real appliances, and give an honest verdict on who it suits.

Our readers make expensive, sometimes safety-critical decisions based on what we publish. These are the standards every article is held to.

Independence

• Recommendations are made by our editorial team, based on how well a product fits a specific need.
• Brands, retailers and affiliate partners cannot buy placements, rankings, ratings or favorable wording, and they do not see articles before publication.
• Affiliate commissions are never a ranking factor. We keep "also considered" and "not recommended" sections even when those products would earn us money.
• Free or loaned products are disclosed in the relevant article.

Accuracy and sourcing

• Specifications come from the manufacturer's official pages, spec sheets or manuals, and are re-checked when articles are updated.
• Runtime figures use one consistent method. See How We Test & Evaluate.
• We never claim hands-on testing, measurements or experience we don't have.
• Where manufacturer sources conflict, we say so rather than picking a number.

Technical review

Articles involving electrical sizing, home connection, medical devices or safety receive a technical review before publication. We will only describe a reviewer's credentials when they are real and verifiable.

Safety content

• We never give instructions for connecting a power station to home wiring through an outlet ("back-feeding"). It's dangerous and can endanger utility workers. Home connections should use a transfer switch or inlet installed by a licensed electrician.
• For medical equipment such as CPAP machines, we tell readers to confirm their device's power needs with its label and their healthcare provider or equipment supplier.
• We point readers to official safety sources such as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for recalls and generator safety.

Use of AI

We use AI tools to help with research, drafting and checking. Every article is reviewed, edited and fact-checked by a person before publication, and AI is never used to invent test results, experiences, quotes or credentials.

Updates

We update articles when products, prices or our recommendations change, and we only change an article's "updated" date when the content has changed meaningfully.

We work hard to get specs, runtimes and recommendations right, but products change and mistakes happen. When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so.

To report an error, email our contact address (being set up — check back shortly) with the page address, what you believe is wrong, and a source if you have one (for example, the manufacturer's spec page or manual).

1. We check the claim against the manufacturer's official sources and, where relevant, our test records.
2. If it's an error, we correct the article.
3. Material corrections, meaning anything that changes a spec, a runtime estimate, a safety statement or a recommendation, are noted at the end of the article with the date and what changed.
4. Minor fixes such as typos or broken links are made without a note.

We aim to review every report promptly and prioritize anything safety-related. Manufacturers also revise products, firmware and specs; when that happens we update our articles and, if a recommendation changes, explain why.
