Power Stations Ranked by Battery Cycle Life

Cycle life is the quiet spec. Two units with identical capacity can differ by a factor of eight in how much energy they will deliver before the battery degrades to 80%.

The headline number here is lifetime throughput: rated capacity multiplied by rated cycles. It converts a chemistry claim into a single comparable figure.

How this is calculated

capacity Wh × rated cycles (higher is better)

Cycle ratings are vendor claims made under laboratory conditions, usually at a mild temperature and a partial depth of discharge. Real-world life depends on heat, depth of discharge and how the unit is stored.
