4000 Pro + Tank: Unequal discharge
I've got a 4000 pro installed with a single tank stacked in my Sprinter. I commonly see the tank capacity at 10-20% below the main unit. I would expect the two units to draw equally. Is this normal and expected behavior? When charging on shore power, the two do eventually even out. Thanks.

Cold Temps, Escape Screen Not Working, Any Pointers?
Hello Awesome Community, Let me start by saying my firmware is up to date. Is anyone experiencing issues with the Yeti 4000 and its add-ons in cold weather?

AC trickle charge for Yeti 4000
is it possible to trickle charge the 4000 with the 120 watt Yeti X AC power supply? My 4000’s voltage and state of charge % seem out of sync. When I trickle charge off my vehicle alternator at 120 watts, the voltage seems to be closer to the state of charge. However, when I use the 4000’s AC input port or my 400 watt solar…

Yeti 4000 Escape Driveable Kit - Alternator Wiring
I am trying to figure out the best method for wiring for both alternator and solar charging. The manual shows using the 10A for the alternator further in the book, but that seems too slow.

Custom Charge profiles not working - Yeti Pro 4000
I have been trying to use custom charge profiles on the Yeti Pro 4000, but it seems to keep ignoring them.

But the Yeti will run itself down to 0% sometimes (and then get stuck, and wont charge back up until I do a full reset). Or…
