LITHIUMBATTERY.INFO · EDITORIAL TRANSPARENCY

Corrections Policy

Q: Will you remove accurate information because a company dislikes it?

Not simply because it is unfavorable. If a company provides evidence that a factual claim is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, the claim can be reviewed under the same standards applied to other correction reports.

Q: How quickly are corrections made?

LithiumBattery.info does not publish a guaranteed correction timetable. Straightforward issues may require little verification, while technical, safety-related or disputed claims can require comparison of source documents, formulas and related pages.

Q: What happens if a correction affects several pages?

Related pages that use the same formula, definition, source or assumption may also be reviewed so the underlying issue is corrected rather than left repeated elsewhere.

How we review, correct and disclose errors in our battery guides, calculators and site information.

Accuracy matters because readers may use our explanations and calculators to compare battery capacity, charging, runtime, power and system requirements. When we identify a factual, mathematical or material editorial error, our policy is to verify it, correct it at the source and make the nature of a significant change clear to readers.

REPORT A POSSIBLE ERROR

Help Us Locate And Verify The Issue

You do not need to write a formal complaint. A useful correction report simply identifies the page, the questionable statement or result, and the reason you believe it should be reviewed.

Best information to include

What Makes A Correction Report Actionable

Send the page URL and enough detail for an editor to reproduce or locate the issue. For a calculator, include the inputs you entered, the result shown and what you expected instead. For an article, quote or describe the specific statement rather than only saying that the page is wrong.

Page: the URL or exact page title.
Location: the heading, paragraph, table, field or calculator result where the issue appears.
Issue: what appears inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or internally inconsistent.
Evidence: a manufacturer document, standard, authoritative source, calculation or other verifiable basis when available.
Reproduction details: for calculator issues, include input values, units and the output you received.

WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS

Corrections, Clarifications And Updates Are Not The Same Thing

We use different treatments depending on whether published information is wrong, unclear or simply needs to reflect a later development. The goal is to fix the reader-facing problem without disguising what changed.

Factual correction

A statement is demonstrably inaccurate, such as a wrong specification, date, unit, standard reference, formula description or attribution.

Calculation correction

A formula, conversion, unit label, default value, validation rule or example produces or explains an incorrect result.

Clarification

The underlying statement is not necessarily false, but the wording could reasonably mislead readers about scope, assumptions, exceptions or limitations.

Update

Information was accurate when written but later changed, such as a regulation, product specification, standard, price context or site feature.

Minor edit

Spelling, punctuation, formatting, broken presentation or wording is improved without changing the factual meaning of the page.

Editorial disagreement

A preference for different wording or a competing interpretation is reviewed, but it is not automatically treated as an error when the published claim remains supported.

What we do not promise We do not guarantee that every submitted suggestion will result in a change, and we do not publish an artificial response-time commitment. Some technical questions require source comparison, recalculation or review of related pages before an accurate correction can be made.

REVIEW PROCESS

How A Reported Error Is Handled

The depth of review depends on the potential effect of the issue. A typo can be fixed quickly; a disputed electrical formula, safety statement or standards reference may require checking source documents and related content before publication is changed.

Locate

We identify the exact page, passage, calculator state or linked source involved in the report.

Verify

We compare the claim with the page's evidence, relevant formulas and authoritative or primary references where available.

Correct

When the published content is wrong or materially unclear, we change the affected text, logic, labels, examples or links.

Disclose

When a change materially alters the meaning or a technical result, we add a visible note explaining what was corrected.

CORRECTION STANDARDS

When We Add A Visible Correction Note

Not every edit needs a public notice. We reserve visible correction notes for changes that a reasonable reader would want to know about because the original version could have affected understanding, comparison, calculation or a practical decision.

Material Corrections

A visible correction note is appropriate when an earlier version contained a meaningful factual or technical error. Examples include a wrong formula, incorrect conversion, mistaken battery specification, misidentified standard, reversed comparison, unsupported safety statement, or a sentence whose original wording materially changed the conclusion.

Where practical, the note should state the nature of the correction in plain language. The purpose is not to preserve every previous sentence forever; it is to give readers enough context to understand that a significant error existed and has been fixed.

Minor edits normally do not receive a correction notice

Spelling, grammar, formatting, broken internal links, improved headings and other edits that do not alter substantive meaning may be corrected without a formal note. If a typographical error changes a number, unit or conclusion, however, it is treated as substantive rather than cosmetic.

TECHNICAL AND CALCULATOR CONTENT

Extra Checks For Formulas, Units And Battery Guidance

Technical errors can propagate through examples and related calculators, so correcting one number is not always enough. When a report concerns a formula or engineering assumption, the review should address the logic around the result as well as the displayed output.

Reproduce The Result

We test the reported inputs and units, inspect the formula or conversion, and determine whether the problem is calculation logic, validation, rounding, labeling or explanation.

Check Connected Explanations

If a formula changes, examples, result notes, FAQs and methodology language that depend on the same assumption should be reviewed for consistency.

Separate Estimates From Limits

A calculator estimate does not replace manufacturer limits, applicable standards or qualified installation advice. A correction should not turn an estimate into a claim of certification or universal safety.

Safety-related reports receive careful source review. If a page appears to state an unsafe charging, voltage, current, temperature, wiring or handling practice, identify the exact passage and source if available. We will review the wording and any connected calculation rather than treating the issue as a routine copy edit.

EVIDENCE AND EDITORIAL JUDGMENT

What We Use To Decide Whether A Change Is Needed

Correction decisions should be evidence-led. The strongest source depends on the claim: a product specification is best checked against the manufacturer, a standard against the issuing body, and a calculator formula against the underlying mathematical relationship and documented assumptions.

Primary technical documentation

Manufacturer manuals, datasheets, official standards, government publications and documentation from the organization responsible for the specification.

Authoritative secondary sources

Established technical references may be used to explain background concepts or cross-check a claim when primary material is incomplete or difficult to interpret.

Transparent calculation

For arithmetic disputes, the formula, units and assumptions should be explicit enough to reproduce the result independently.

Context and scope

A statement can be technically true yet misleading if it omits a condition that materially changes how a reader would apply it.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLES

How Different Problems Would Usually Be Treated

These examples show the distinction between a material correction, a clarification, a routine edit and an update. The exact treatment depends on the effect of the original wording.

Example	Typical treatment	Why
A calculator divides by 1,000 where it should multiply by 1,000.	Material correction	The logic can produce a materially wrong numerical result and related examples may also need review.
A battery guide labels watt-hours as watts in one table.	Correction	The unit error can change the reader's interpretation even if the surrounding values are otherwise correct.
A paragraph is accurate but fails to state that a value is nominal rather than a hard operating limit.	Clarification	The missing condition could cause a reasonable reader to overgeneralize the statement.
A heading contains a spelling mistake that does not change meaning.	Minor edit	The error can be fixed without a formal correction note because substantive content is unchanged.
An official standard or manufacturer specification changes after the article was published.	Update	The old wording may have been accurate when published; the page now needs current context rather than an admission of an original factual error.
A company asks us to remove an accurate, sourced comparison because it is commercially unfavorable.	No automatic change	Commercial preference alone is not evidence that the published statement is inaccurate.

INDEPENDENCE AND FAIRNESS

Who Can Request A Correction

Readers, manufacturers, subject-matter professionals, site contributors and other affected parties may all point out potential errors. The identity of the person reporting an issue does not determine whether the change is accepted; the evidence and the accuracy of the published page do.

Good-Faith Review

We consider specific, verifiable correction requests regardless of whether the reporter agrees with the page's broader conclusion.

No Pay-To-Correct

A legitimate factual correction does not depend on advertising, affiliate participation, sponsorship or payment.

No Accuracy-By-Pressure

Repeated requests, legal-sounding language or commercial importance do not substitute for evidence that the content is wrong.

Transparency after publication

How We Handle The Record Of A Change

For a material correction, the corrected page should make the change understandable to a returning reader. A concise note may identify the affected fact, formula, unit, comparison or conclusion and state that it was corrected. The note does not need to reproduce every version of the page.

When a page is updated because external facts changed rather than because the original text was wrong, we may describe the revision as an update. Routine copy edits that do not affect meaning do not require a public history entry.

If a correction on one page reveals the same error in another page, we may review related content and correct it there as well. This is particularly relevant to shared formulas, repeated technical definitions and calculator assumptions.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Corrections Policy FAQs

How to report an issue, what happens after review and when a visible correction note is appropriate.

How do I report an error on LithiumBattery.info?

Use the contact page. Include the page URL, the specific statement, table, link or calculator result you believe is wrong, and your reason. Supporting evidence is helpful but not required to alert us to a possible issue.

What information should I include for a calculator error?

Include the calculator name, all input values and units, the output shown, and what you expected. If the issue happens only at certain values, provide an example that reproduces it.

Does every edit receive a public correction note?

No. Material factual, technical or calculation errors should be disclosed on the affected page. Minor spelling, formatting and wording changes that do not alter meaning can normally be made without a formal correction notice.

What is the difference between a correction and an update?

A correction fixes information that was wrong or materially misleading. An update reflects a later change in external facts, such as a revised standard or manufacturer specification, when the earlier information may have been accurate at the time.

Can a manufacturer or advertiser request a correction?

Yes. Anyone may report a possible error. The request is evaluated on evidence and accuracy, not on whether the reporter advertises, has an affiliate relationship or has a commercial interest in the outcome.

Will you remove accurate information because a company dislikes it?

Not simply because it is unfavorable. If the company provides evidence that a factual claim is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, we will review it under the same standards applied to other correction reports.

How quickly are corrections made?

We do not publish a guaranteed correction timetable. Straightforward issues may require little verification, while technical, safety-related or disputed claims can require comparison of source documents, formulas and related pages before an accurate change is made.

What happens if a correction affects several pages?

We may review related pages that use the same formula, definition, source or assumption. The objective is to correct the underlying issue rather than leave a known error repeated elsewhere.

Can I request a change if I only think the wording is unclear?

Yes. A statement may be technically accurate but still need clarification if its scope, assumptions or limitations are easy to misunderstand. Explain what interpretation you believe the current wording creates.

Where can I read more about editorial accuracy and sources?

See the Editorial Policy, Sources and References, and Calculator Methodology for the standards that complement this corrections process.
