Why Ampcarry?
It started with a power bank that said 20,000 mAh on the box and still only charged my phone one and a half times. No defect, no scam. Just a number that says nothing about what actually comes out of the device.
So I started doing the math. mAh into watt-hours, watt-hours minus conversion losses, and suddenly the figures made sense. With power stations and balcony solar it's the same game, only with bigger numbers and more expensive mistakes.
That became Ampcarry. A blog that does the converting for you. We read spec sheets, compare on the same basis, and say what an assessment is based on.
If a device doesn't hold up to its own numbers, we say so. If a cheap model is enough for what you need, we say that too. You should know what you're getting before you pay.

What Makes Us Different
Most sites in this space just pass the manufacturer's number straight through. The bigger the figure, the better the recommendation sounds. We earn from affiliate links too, sure. But we only recommend what we'd buy ourselves.
A 30-euro power bank can be perfectly fine for your phone, while an 800-euro power station fails at running a fridge because its inverter is too weak. Expensive doesn't automatically mean suitable. It depends on what you want to run.

We name the weaknesses too
