Editorial policy
We choose the order and the words. A brand, an ad, or a future commission does not decide what is listed or where it sits.
Independence
We choose the order and the words. A brand, an ad, or a future commission does not decide what is listed or where it sits.
- A brand does not preview the order before publication.
- A partnership does not decide whether a model is listed.
- A review is not rearranged around who might pay a commission.
What gets listed
- We list models because they are portable power stations, not because a brand partnered with us.
- Some model pages show brand specs only. Others also link a published battery test. Both kinds can appear here.
- A review is our selection for a job. It can include models that have no outside battery test.
Specs and sources
- The fields we score and the weights are public on how we review.
- Any number in the prose has to match the spec table on that page.
- We only write a downside when we already have a sourced note. Otherwise that section stays empty.
- A field with no source is marked Not listed. Brand capacity is never presented as if someone else had tested the battery.
What a brand may and may not do
| Request | Allowed |
|---|---|
| Send a sample or a specification sheet | Yes. We check the sheet, and a sample would be labeled. |
| Correct a wrong spec with a source | Yes. We check the correction, then the date changes. |
| Preview or edit the order of a review | No. |
| Pay for a higher place on a review | No. |
Samples
We are not taking samples right now. If a brand later sends a unit, the model page would say so, and the unit would not decide the order of a review.
Checking the facts
Specs are checked against the brand's page or another published source. Prices keep the date we read them. A published battery test keeps its URL. A number that fails the check stays off the site.
Conflicts
Portable Power Rank does not sell these power stations. Some purchase links may be affiliate links. A commission or partnership would be named on the disclosure page and would not move a model on a review.
Corrections
If a spec or a price is wrong, write to [email protected]. After we check it, the page is updated and the date changes.
