Wifi off after outage I'm traveling
I'm currently in Thailand and we had a 15+ hour power outage at home in California. Power is back on but I cannot access my yetti 3000x as the software turned off the wifi (to save power). I had the Yeti in hot stand by running the frig, freezer and 2 lighting circuits. Now there is no way for me to know the status of the…

Home Backup automatic failover?
Maybe I'm not searching the right thing but I can't seem to find out whether a backup battery like the Yeti can be set up to take over automatically when grid power fails. Looks like the HIK that comes with the Home Backup kits is a manual. Does anyone have experience with this or know a reason it may be not feasible?…

Can a Yeti 1500X run a gas furnace (fan) with a backup panel?
If I buy a backup sub panel, can my Yeti 1500X power the furnace if the only electric power it uses is the fan? The heat source is gas. It seems logical but I don’t want to buy the backup kit if this won’t work. Thanks.

Does the Yeti 6000 act like a UPS and power directly from AC electricity (when available)?
I live in an the Caribbean, where power outages are frequent, from a couple hours a day, to weeks at a time (for a big hurricane). And I travel a lot, so I am not at home to plug in my refrigerator to my Yeti, nor throw the switch on the back up transfer switch. So, I plan to plug my Yeti 6000x into the wall, and plug my…

3000X specification question
Does my Yeti 3000X have the following specifications to qualify for my electrical provider's transfer switch requirement for a backup generator?

Plugged in my laptop and ZAP
Earlier today, I plugged my one week old laptop into my Yeti 1000x using USB-C, and the moment the cable was plugged in, there was a POP noise from the laptop. Kinda like a electrical arc zap, if you're familiar with that noise. At the same moment, the laptop turned off. The laptop is now dead and won't turn on at all.…

Connecting two Yeti 1000 in parallel to the Home Integration Kit
I have two Yeti 1000s, I would like to use them in parallel with the home integration kit to combine the capacity of both for backup power to my home without having to manual switch from one to the other, when the first one runs out of juice. What would happen if I make/use a combiner cable to combines outputs from both…

Plugging in an oxygenator
I am on oxygen 24/7. I have a Yeti 3000X in case the power goes out. A few nights ago the power went out at 3:30 am. Fortunately, I was awake when the power went out and plugged my oxygenator in. That got me to thinking. What if I hadn't been awake? So I thought the best thing to do would be to plug in my oxygenator into…

Recommended battery settings for charging Tank with Victron MPPT?
I can't find any information on what would be recommended battery settings for charging a set of (6) Yeti Tanks from solar panels with a "Victron MPPT 100 | 30", i.e. the offical "30-Amp External MPPT" set offered by Goal Zero, in order to avoid over and under charging for extending battery life. I understand that the Tank…

Is it normal for a Yeti 3000X to be constantly charging?
I have a Yeti 3000X. I keep it plugged into the wall and nothing is connected to it. I've noticed that it doesn't charge up to 100%. Instead it somehow runs down to 94% and then recharges. Is there something wrong with my Yeti?

How important is battery cycling
If I'm looking at the 6000x + 4 tank kit for emergency home backup how important it s it to occasionally drain and recharge the tanks? I can imagine using the 6000x in various ways to cycle the battery but if I don't have a power interruption for a long period of time what's the best way to keep the tank batteries healthy?

Yeti Home Integration Kit transfer switch
Why is the Yeti Home Integration Kit transfer switch not feasible for an external breaker box? It seems to me that the transfer switch could be on the inside wall opposite of the external breaker box and the wires could go through the wall.
