How do I update Link firmware?
I was told prior to purchasing that the latest firmware resolves the smart alternator charging issue. The app allows me to update the Yeti 1500x firmware (now 1.8.0) but the link firmware is greyed out and shows 1.5.7. How do I update this, because the Yeti only charges momentarily. And the wattage bounces all over.…

How to ground Yeti 1500x to truck chassis?
I have seen diagrams on grounding the Yeti 1500x through the foot of the power station with # 8 AWG wire to the vehicle frame. The drawing says use "a" #8 AWG wire but the diagram shows two #8 AWG wires connecting to the 1500x . Which is correct. If it's two #8 wires why not just use one #2 AWG wire? Thanks
