Disclose the connection
When a material relationship applies, the relevant page should use understandable language near the recommendation or affiliate link instead of relying only on this policy page.
Affiliate Disclosure explains how LithiumBattery.info handles qualifying affiliate relationships, product links, recommendations, and other material connections. If a page contains a link that may generate compensation for us, our policy is to tell readers clearly enough to understand the relationship before they act on that recommendation.
These five commitments explain how qualifying commercial relationships should be presented on LithiumBattery.info. They apply whether compensation could come from a purchase, lead, referral, free product, discount, sponsorship, or another benefit that could matter to a reasonable reader.
When a material relationship applies, the relevant page should use understandable language near the recommendation or affiliate link instead of relying only on this policy page.
Notices should explain that we may earn compensation. We avoid labels that require readers to know industry jargon before they can understand the relationship.
A commission, free item, or sponsorship does not guarantee a positive review, ranking, recommendation, or technical conclusion.
Readers can use our calculators and educational content without buying through a commercial link. Merchant prices, stock, shipping, returns, and warranties remain the seller's responsibility.
Affiliate economics never replace battery specifications, manufacturer instructions, electrical codes, qualified review, or the safety limits explained elsewhere on the site.
This Affiliate Disclosure applies when LithiumBattery.info has a material connection to a company, retailer, service, product, or other commercial party that is relevant to content on the site. A material connection can include money or another benefit that readers might reasonably want to know about when evaluating a recommendation.
The site may contain ordinary reference links that do not generate compensation. It may also contain qualifying affiliate links or sponsored relationships now or in the future. A link going to a retailer does not automatically mean it is an affiliate link, and this Affiliate Disclosure should not be read as a claim that every merchant mentioned has a commercial relationship with us.
An affiliate relationship usually means a website can receive compensation when a reader follows a tracked link and completes a qualifying action, such as a purchase. Other material connections can include a sponsored placement, free or discounted product, referral fee, paid campaign, or another benefit connected with a mention or recommendation.
When such a relationship exists, this Affiliate Disclosure is only the background policy. The relevant content should also give a clear notice where readers are likely to see it. A disclosure that is separated from the recommendation by unrelated sections can make the relationship harder to understand, so placement matters as much as wording.
If a commercial relationship could affect how a reasonable reader weighs a recommendation, our policy is to identify that relationship in plain language close to the relevant content. A site-wide policy page supports that notice; it does not replace it.
On qualifying pages, a notice may use wording such as “We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases made through links on this page.” The exact sentence can vary with the relationship, but it should communicate the financial or material connection without requiring readers to decode terms such as “commissionable link.”
The Affiliate Disclosure standard also applies across formats. If LithiumBattery.info later publishes sponsored video, social content, email promotions, or other endorsement formats, the disclosure should be adapted to the format instead of assuming a policy link at the bottom of a website is enough. The goal is notice that is understandable and difficult to miss.
| Situation | What readers should understand | Preferred approach |
|---|---|---|
| Affiliate product link | We may receive compensation after a qualifying action. | Plain-language notice near the recommendation or link group. |
| Free or discounted product | The product was provided on favorable terms. | State that fact where the product is discussed. |
| Sponsored placement | A company paid for placement or promotion. | Label the sponsored relationship clearly before or with the content. |
| Ordinary reference link | No material connection is being represented by the link itself. | No affiliate claim is needed solely because the destination is external. |
When a qualifying affiliate program pays a commission, that payment is governed by the merchant or network's program terms. LithiumBattery.info does not add a separate fee to a reader's order simply because an affiliate link was used. The seller still controls product price, taxes, delivery charges, discounts, stock status, return rules, and warranty terms.
That does not mean every reader will see the same price at every time. Retailer pricing and promotions can change, and some offers depend on location, account status, coupons, shipping method, or other conditions. Before buying, confirm the current price and terms directly with the merchant rather than relying on an old screenshot, quoted price, or historical recommendation.
This Affiliate Disclosure does not promise that commercial relationships have no influence on which products are available for us to discuss. It does set a clearer rule: compensation should not determine whether we describe a battery product as safe, compatible, efficient, durable, or suitable when available evidence does not support that conclusion.
We aim to distinguish technical information from commercial convenience. A retailer link can help a reader find a product, but the retailer relationship does not turn marketing copy into an engineering specification. Where a decision depends on voltage, current, chemistry, dimensions, BMS limits, charger requirements, certification, or installation conditions, the original manufacturer documentation should take priority.

If LithiumBattery.info publishes a product comparison, list, ranking, or recommendation that includes a qualifying commercial relationship, the Affiliate Disclosure principle is that the relationship should be visible where readers evaluate the recommendation. Compensation alone should not be presented as evidence that one battery, charger, inverter, or accessory is technically better than another.
Product suitability can depend on details that vary by application. A battery that works well in one solar, RV, marine, portable-power, or electronics setup may be unsuitable in another. Readers should compare current specifications, supported operating ranges, warranty terms, certifications where relevant, and device manufacturer requirements before making a purchase.
Affiliate Disclosure is especially important on a battery website because commercial recommendations can involve products with meaningful electrical and fire-safety consequences. A commission must never be treated as a substitute for checking chemistry, voltage, maximum current, charging method, temperature limits, short-circuit protection, mechanical fit, installation requirements, or manufacturer warnings.
Our calculators are educational tools, not purchase approvals. If a linked product appears to match a calculated capacity or runtime target, that does not confirm the product is electrically or mechanically compatible with your system. Use the battery calculators and battery guides to understand concepts, then verify the real product and installation requirements independently.
Do not choose a lithium battery, charger, BMS, fuse, cable, inverter, or other safety-critical component solely because a page links to it. Check the exact manufacturer's documentation and obtain qualified help when the application requires professional design or inspection.
Affiliate programs, merchant terms, tracking systems, and sponsorship arrangements can change over time. A company mentioned on the site may stop operating a program, change commission rules, alter product availability, or update its terms. LithiumBattery.info may also add or remove commercial relationships as the site evolves.
For that reason, this Affiliate Disclosure describes the site's general transparency approach rather than naming an unverified list of current partners. When a specific relationship matters to a recommendation, the relevant content should identify it. If this policy changes materially, the page may be revised to keep the explanation aligned with how the site operates.
For U.S.-focused advertising guidance, the Federal Trade Commission explains that material connections connected with endorsements should be disclosed clearly and conspicuously. Its affiliate-marketing guidance also emphasizes that readers should be able to understand the relationship without hunting for a remote policy page. Requirements can differ outside the United States, so this Affiliate Disclosure is not a substitute for jurisdiction-specific legal advice.
Readers and publishers can review the FTC's Endorsement Guides: What People Are Asking and the 2023 Endorsement Guides materials. These official resources provide fuller context on endorsements, material connections, and clear disclosure practices.
Affiliate transparency is one part of the site's broader approach to privacy, responsible use, editorial limits, and reader communication.

No. External links can be ordinary references, manufacturer resources, official guidance, retailers, or other third-party pages. This Affiliate Disclosure does not mean every outbound link is monetized. When a material commercial relationship applies to a recommendation, the relevant content should disclose it clearly.
LithiumBattery.info does not add a separate charge to your order because you followed an affiliate link. The merchant controls prices, taxes, shipping, discounts, availability, returns, and warranties, and those terms can change. Always confirm the final price and conditions on the seller's site before purchasing.
No. Under this Affiliate Disclosure, compensation should not be treated as evidence that a product is safe, high quality, compatible, or appropriate for a particular use. Technical conclusions should be based on specifications, documentation, relevant evidence, and the limits of the specific application.
A qualifying notice should be close enough to the relevant endorsement, recommendation, or link that readers can understand the connection without searching for a separate policy page. This Affiliate Disclosure provides the full policy background, but it is not intended to replace contextual notices on pages that need them.
If a free product, discount, sponsorship, or similar benefit creates a material connection relevant to a recommendation, our policy is to disclose that fact in understandable language. The exact wording should match the real relationship rather than using a generic statement that could mislead readers.
Use the Contact page and include the URL of the page, the link or recommendation you are concerned about, and a short explanation of what seemed unclear. We can then review whether the Affiliate Disclosure language or placement needs correction.
Commercial links can support a free educational website, but readers should be able to recognize qualifying relationships and still evaluate battery recommendations on their technical merits.
