Spec by spec
A green mark is the better published figure on that row. Blank cells mean the vendor did not publish the number — we do not estimate.
| Metric | PowerMax 6000 | HomePower 3600 Plus | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 3,600 Wh | 3,584 Wh | How much energy the unit stores. Sets how long everything else can run. |
| Continuous AC output | 6,000 W | 3,600 W | The largest load the inverter will run continuously, not counting surge. |
| Weight lower is better | 100.1 lb | 77.2 lb | The spec buyers most often regret ignoring. |
| List price lower is better | $1,999 | $1,899 | Hub catalogue list price (same figure as product pages). Historical lows stay off this column. |
| Cost per watt-hour lower is better | $0.56 | $0.53 | Price divided by capacity. The fairest single value metric. |
