Heads up for potential buyer - odd functionality of the Escape display
Though others would be interested to know a few oddities I've discovered after using the Escape display for a bit: 1. The % of power remaining displayed on the Escape will ONLY show the state of charge (SOC) of the Yeti…not any tanks connected. As long as they are pretty closely synchronized, this isn't a big deal…but…

Input and Output HPP wired to removed battery leads?
I am removing the old coach battery in my RV and replacing it with my new Yeti 1000x. The easiest would be to extend the old battery positive and vehicle ground into the front of the passenger compartment and wire them to BOTH the input HPP (Anderson) and the output HPP of the Yeti. Then, the Yeti would power all of the…

I have a cargo trailer that I am converting into a toy hauler and am thinking of going with the Yeti 1500x (for now and may upgrade to the PRO 4000 later) as the power solution as it is seemingly more versatile than separate batteries/inverter/etc as I can pull the until and use as home backup generator. My questions: How…

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.…

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

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…
