Ampcarry is a portable power blog that provides honest reviews, buying guides, and practical knowledge on power banks, portable power stations, solar panels, and balcony solar systems. To support our work and keep the site running, we participate in affiliate programs.
This page explains how these partnerships work and how they affect our content. We believe in full transparency with our readers.

How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on an affiliate link on Ampcarry:
1. You are redirected to the product page on Amazon
2. A small tracking cookie is placed in your browser
3. If you make a purchase within a certain time window, we receive a commission
4. The price you pay remains exactly the same
The commission we earn is paid by Amazon, not by you. Your purchase price is never affected by whether you use our affiliate link or not.

How to Identify Affiliate Links
We mark all affiliate links clearly on our site. You can identify them by:
- Product cards with "View on Amazon" buttons
- Links that include our affiliate tag
- Products featured in our reviews and comparisons
We strive to make it obvious when a link is an affiliate link. If you ever have questions about whether a link is affiliated, please contact us.

Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We maintain strict separation between our revenue sources and our reviews.
Key principles we follow:
- We only recommend products we genuinely believe are worth your money
- Negative reviews are published even if a product has an affiliate link
- We include budget options alongside premium products
- Our ratings and opinions are never influenced by commission rates
If we think a product is bad, we say so. Our reputation depends on being honest with you.
When reviewing products on Ampcarry:
Testing: We personally test most products we review. When we haven't tested a product ourselves, we clearly state this and base our assessment on extensive research, manufacturer specifications, and verified customer reviews.
Selection: We choose products to review based on reader interest and relevance, not affiliate commission rates. We often review products with lower commissions because they're better value for our readers.
Updates: We update our reviews when products change or when we have new information. Prices and availability are subject to change, so always verify current details on Amazon.
Product Information: While we strive to provide accurate information, product specifications, prices, and availability can change. Always verify current details on the retailer's or manufacturer's website before making a purchase.
Safety and Transport Rules: Lithium batteries are subject to specific rules for air travel, shipping, and disposal. These requirements change and differ by airline, carrier, and country. Always confirm the current rules directly with the responsible party before you carry, ship, or dispose of a device.
Installation and Registration: Our content on balcony solar systems and power stations is buying advice and does not replace electrical or legal advice. Registration, connection, and metering obligations for plug-in solar systems change and depend on your grid operator and landlord. Clarify them before buying, and have any work on household wiring carried out by a qualified electrician.
No Guarantees: Product reviews reflect our honest opinions based on our evaluation and research. Individual experiences may vary. We cannot guarantee that any product will meet your specific needs.
Capacity and Output Figures: Manufacturer figures in mAh, watt-hours, or watts are nominal values measured under ideal conditions. Usable capacity is lower in practice due to conversion losses, temperature, and ageing, and solar panel yield figures depend heavily on location, orientation, and weather. Always compare figures on the same basis and plan for headroom.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships or how we make money, please don't hesitate to reach out.
