How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “In the field, I charge DJI drone batteries”, “I charge modern laptops straight from it”, “It will run beside a bed or desk”, “I want quick wall charging”, and “I use appliances or tools that draw over 2,000W”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedFigures are the continuous output rating. Surge numbers and boost modes that lower voltage do not count. The median draws on the 47 of 50 models that publish comparable figures.
