About WattList
WattList ranks portable power stations and solar generators for camping, van life, and apartment blackouts.
We care about the numbers that decide whether a unit actually works for you:
- Capacity (Wh)
- Continuous and surge watts
- LiFePO4 cycle life
- Ports, weight, and recharge speed (wall + solar)
We ignore brochure names like “solar generator” when they just mean “battery box + optional panels.”
How we pick
Each guide starts from a use case (weekend camping, under-$1k budget, short blackout kit). We compare official manufacturer specs, then note typical US street prices and the trade-offs — weight vs Wh, expandability vs simplicity, sale price vs list.
Specs and prices move. We date-check important tables and tell you when a pick may drift out of a budget band.
