Holds Charge in Storage

Gear that sits in a closet for a year has to still work the night it is needed.

Runs a Fridge or Radio

Keeping food cold and news coming matters more than any convenience feature.

Works When Cold and Wet

Storms bring damp and freezing temperatures, which is when cheap gear quits.

Simple Enough Under Stress

In the dark with no signal, an app-only interface becomes a liability.
