Yeti Link Vehicle Integration kit with smart alternator
I have a 2021 Chevy Colorado Diesel, apparently this vehicle has a "smart" alternator. I installed the vehicle integration kit to charge my Yeti 1000X, but I don't get consistent charging as the alternator only engages when needed to charge the vehicle battery. 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…

Another Vehicle Integration Q
I have a 3000x arriving this weekend and I plan to use it in a Sprinter van. I see there are two high power output ports. One under the lid and one on the face of the unit. They are both rated at 30 amps. Can these be safely connected in parallel with a terminal block to send 60 amps to a fuse block? I know it's possible…

Is it safe to have Yeti1250 (or any other model) to charge with ignition on in a van ?
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.

Advice connecting Nomad 200 panel to deep cycle 12v battery
Hello! I wondering if I can charge my travel trailer 2 lead battery system with a Nomad 200 through my 110v shore power or DC ZAMP connection with a Sherpa or Yeti in-between as the controller vs just buying a charge controller? So I'm guessing that the panel would charge the storage device which would then change/feed the…

Technical difference between current Link and original?
Is there any technical difference between the currently shipping Link module and the original? I have been using the original Link in my 6000X for a while and am curious if that matters. I never ever see 750W charging rate and wonder if its because the original Link is technically different or limited somehow.
