Vehicle Integration Kit not working properly
I've recently installed the Vehicle Integration kit on a Yeti 3000X, in a 1995 Toyota Hiace. Upon startup, I'll see 10-12w input, but that dwindles to zero in a minute or two. The batteries (dual battery setup - diesel) are showing 13.7 -13.8V. The Link module shows all four green lights. And no other inputs are powered.…

Has anyone dealt with this or know of a work around? TIA

combine HPP outputs at fuse block?
I have a Yeti 6000x and am using it to power devices in my van; when I attempt to start an Espar gas heater, the 12 volt circuit breaker trips. This doesn't always happen, my thought is that perhaps initial current demand for the heater glow plug is sometimes too much for the GZ and the circuit trips. Would running both…

How does the Link Module Firmware determine charging amperage?
I use a 1500x with a Link Module in my campervan. I charge it from the van's 150 amp ("non-smart") alternator. I use the 12ft EC8 extension cable with the male EC8 to ring terminal cable so the total run from the vehicle battery to the Yeti is about 13 1/2 ft. The charging profile always starts out at 60 amps very briefly…

Run 12V A/C Unit (Velit) on Goal Zero Yeti 6000x ?
The velit operating current says it's between 20A and 60A, the goal zero yeti has a total of 30 + 30 + 10 + 10 + 13 = 93A of combined 12V output currents. I see that you can combine the outputs into one high current: https://www.goalzero.com/products/12v-max-current-cable But it still seems limited to 40A (and not 93A or…

I just want to make sure not to do damage to the battery by overcharging it perhaps. Or does it have built in regulator so overcharging cannot happen ? I wired it to switched terminal so it is being charged with key on. Thank you for any feedback.
