Yeti Tank Expansion- How many can I connect?
Hello, Just purchased my Yeti 1500X and Home integration kit. I'm looking to add the Yeti Link and Tank Expansion Batteries. How many Tanks can I add? Ive seen the kits with 2x and 4x tanks... can I add 10 Tanks to one Yeti 1500X?
Can you use a gasoline generator to re-charge or top-off the charge on a Yeti PRO4000?
Wondering — in the case of a prolonged power outage and questionable solar input — if you could plug a Yeti PRO4000 into a gasoline generator to re-charge or top-off the charge? What sized generator would be recommended to provide re-charge power to the PRO4000? Thanks
Wall Charger very hot
I have a new Yeti 1500 that I use as a battery backup for two cpap machines. As per the instructions I setup the battery to always be plugged into the wall. I placed the charging adapter under the top door. The AC adapter gets very hot. It got so hot that it discolored the plastic underneath where the adapter was sitting.…
Is there an adaptor to connect a Yeti 6000 to an existing transfer switch?
My house has a standard 6-circuit transfer switch already wired into our breaker box. I usually plug in my Honda 3000 generator when we lose power, which happens several times a year for 2 - 5 days. I believe it connects to the generator with a 20-amp, standard 4-pin plug. See picture. Is there an adapter that I can use to…
Is it possible to use an automatic transfer switch with Yeti home backup battery system?
I am considering a home battery backup generator system instead of a fossil fuel generator? Can say the 6000x with a home integration kit be tied to my main panel with an auto transfer switch?
Yeti Tank Batteries Draining
Hi, I have a yeti 3,000 connected to three tank batteries. Love the system, however when I leave the tanks plugged into the Yeti through the module, there seems to be some significant parasitic drain on the tanks. When not plugged into the yeti, the yeti and the tanks stay full much longer. There are no loads plugged into…

Link Expansion Module LEDs flashing green then red
Hi all, I think I have some issues with my Link since the last firmware update. My LEDs are flashing red/green, but not all 4 as described in the table I have seen either 1 or 3 LEDs flashing. What could this mean? Also, I have no notification in the app, which makes it very hard to spot problems since my setup is in my…

Hi, setup- GZ 3000x w/2 tanks Was working fine then yesterday as tanks were starting to recharge the 3000x (all 4 leds green) the 4 led lights started flashing all green then all red. So, i unplugged the expansion tank cable and the 3000x continued to function normally with all 4 leds on the link module now off. What to…
Can a Yeti 6000 be hooked to home solar panels
Can 4 kWh Haven Home Backup Kit support 240v well pump?
I'm looking at getting the 4 kWh Haven Home Backup Kit however my primary reason for this is so power our well pump which uses a 240v (2 breakers) on our existing panel. I see in the picture of the Haven 10 the first two breakers support 240v, however all of the information I've been able to find so far don't support that…
I'm selling a Goal Zero 1000x and am asked how many cycles has the unit been through
Is there a report or status indicator on the Goal Zero 1000x to determine how many cycles the battery has been used?
Charging both a 3000X and Expansion Tanks concurrently
Hi, Can I do the following: Plug a 600 watt charger into the 3000x HPP port to charge the 3000x, AND concurrently, Plug a 120 watt charger into the Expansion Link module to charge the Tanks OR, can I only charge both 3000x and Tanks concurrently via the slow Link Module approach. Thank you for the response.
Does anyone know who could help with a whole house backup
I want to turn my 4 bedroom and 3 bath house to an off grid home. Am thinking that the new Yeti 4000 and several 4000 tanks would be a good start, maybe double the system and have 2 4000 Yeti generators and a 4000 tank as well. Also, wanting to put solar panels on the southwest part of the roof to replenish the power.…
"Upcycling" Yeti xxxX
Hi team, The new Yeti PRO look very exciting! :) Having recently acquired a Yeti 6000X, I was wondering how much can be re-used once migrating to a YETI PRO power station. Can the Yeti Tank Expansion Batteries be reused with the new PRO power stations? Thanks in advance for your insights! Kind regards, Marc
Using Haven 10 with two Yeti 6000X
Can I use a 30A generator adapter with two 15A standard input plugs to connect to the New Haven 10? Something like the below: Thanks!
Yeti 1250 30Amp Output?
We have a whole home Generac system, but there are times we really don't want to run it at night, or even all day unless it's extremely hot or cold. I have had my Yeti 1250 for many years and it has saved us from powerless situations more than once even as recently as last week when I had to pull the fridge out to plug…
Yeti Link No Longer Charging my 1000X
I have had my Yeti 1000X, with link for over a year now, and the link is no longer charging my yeti. It will charge and hold the expansion batteries I have hooked up, but not the Yeti. I have pulled the link and disconnected it, then re-connected tit with the same results. The system worked great for 18 months without…
Adding additional Expansion Tanks
Is there any issue with adding brand new expansion tanks to an existing setup with a couple 1 year old expansion tanks? Or, is it best that all tanks be the same age? Thanks. Don
Useable capacity of GZ 1200 Wh tanks
Hi, I would like to know what is the real world useable capacity of the GZ tanks. It is stated that their capacity is 1200 Wh, I believe. I now have HIK installed and currently just have a 1500x but plan on getting a 3000x plus 2-4 tanks or just a single 6000x. So, would the 3000x with 2 tanks provide a full 5400Wh (3000 +…
Where do I find detailed documentation (not just a user manual) on the 3000x?
I would like to know all the options for revealing various operational aspects of the 3000x (such as charge cycles). I am asking for something more detailed than the simple user manual. thanks.
Check my math please...
I'm looking at a way to power my condo during downtimes, such as events like Hurricane Ian we just went through here in SW Florida. See if I am correct on this please: Refrigerator: 115 v x 2.1 amps = 356.5 watts. To run for 24h would be 356.5 x 24 = 8556 watt-hours. Seems like this exceeds the capacity of your electrical…
Open box items for sale.
Do the "open Box" items come with everything the "New" items come with? For example, the Yeti 3000X looks like it comes with the cart, does the open box item also come with a cart?
Protection from an E+MC2 strike
Hi folks, I do not think I can afford the many faraday bags I would need. Other viable, reasonable ways to protect my generator(s) should the grid go down bc of an EMP strike? Many thanks, rob
Equalization with Victron 100|30 MPPT?
Hello, Should the Yeti Tanks be equalized? If so I assume it's the voltage and duration specified by the rotary setting on the Victron? Thanks very much! Steve
Extension cord length from Yeti6000 to home integration unit
Can I use a longer extension cord from my home integration panel to the 6000 than the one provided? Especially if I use the same gauge cord? I need just a few more feet to go from the battery to the integration circuit on the wall near the fuse panel box.
Expansion Module not communicating with my 1000x
I got the expansion module today and installed it in my 1000x and plugged in one of the two tanks I have. I saw a full charge on the modules' LED indicators but nothing changed on the 1000x display. I ran the 1000x all the way down and the power from the tank never kicked in even though the module showed full LED bars. I…
Using 200x as ups
I'm using a yeti 200X as an uninterruptible power supply for a video surveillance system. It works and I like the long runtime on battery backup that the yeti provides, but will it wear the yeti out since it is under a constant load from the video surveillance system while simultaneously charging? The fan on the yeti is…
I'm testing my 1500X and 4 tanks.
How will I know when the 4 tanks are empty and the 1500X takes over? I see that the first 3 tank lights are off and the bottom tank light is on. Is it correct that the 4 tanks empty first and the 1500X takes over? I have been testing with the 4 essential circuits breakers off on my main to simulate a power outage. Thanks…
What Solar Configuration is required to fully charge 7800WH in 6hrs
I have a Yeti 3000x and 4800WH (4x tanks). The system is off-grid and is my main source of power. I have a Victron charge controller 100/30. I would like to daily recharge the system with about 3500WH. What solar configuration would allow me to achieve this?
yeti 6000 for a Rheem gas furnace
I used a KillaWatt to make sure it met all the power requirements, and it seems fine, but when I try to use the Yeti my Furnace gets error code 26, which says it thinks Neutral is wired wrong. Is something wired wrong in the 6000's pure sine wave converter?
