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?

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.

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? They are offering a free transfer switch for my house but only if my generator (Yeti 3000X) meets or exceeds their specification requirement. This is the required spec: 30A,…

I installed my Yeti S 1500 and 4 tanks today. Want to make sure it's set up correctly.
Does this pic mean I have 28 16??? WH? I purchased the 6300Wh Home Backup System. Did the 4 tank batteries come fully charged? How do I check/know? Home Backup System Update I Held in the "Units" for 7-10 sec, it reset the 1500X to 0, so now how do I check to see if the tanks are functioning? Thanks!

Adding yeti home integration kit to existing panels only grid tied solar home
Want to add a yeti and a home integration transfer kit to my existing home to power a few circuits when the power goes out. Any issues or considerations to understand that are caused by the existing solar panels and inverter? I assume that in a power outage if I switch each circuit I want to use from line to gen that is…

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?

Does anyone have a rough estimate (or experience) of the cost to install the home integration kit?

Watt Hours Readout
I have a Yeti1000x with 4 yeti tanks attached. The readout on the display of yeti1000x shows 1405 Watt Hours, which is equivalent to my Yeti1000x + 1 tank. Why do I not see the watt hours for the remaining tanks?
