Amazon $499.94

- Three-inch-thin body hangs on a wall or slides beside the fridge instead of taking floor space

- Delivered 1,727 Wh (85.7%) in an independent test, and expands to 8 kWh with add-on batteries
- Only two AC outlets and no USB or 12 V outputs
- At 43 lb in a wide, flat slab it is a fixed home backup, not something to carry camping
- Standard AC charging is slow: about 1 h 46 min to 80% in testing; Turbo mode is set in the app
How it scores
The rating comes from 8 measured or published factors, each scored 0-100 against fixed reference points for its size. How we rank explains each one.
Independent capacity tests
Usable energy delivered from a full charge through the AC outlets, as measured by independent reviewers. Inverter losses mean no station delivers its full rated capacity.
