Runtime

Longest runtime first

    Runtime = capacity (Wh) × efficiency ÷ draw (W). We assume 85% on AC and 92% on USB and 12 V. Battery age and cold weather lower real results.

    Runtime first

    Every verdict starts with how long the station runs the things people actually plug in, not a list of features.
