Battery Charge Percentage and Stored Energy don't match
I have a Goal Zero 1500X. It is updated to the latest firmware (1.8.9). When I look at the app, the charge percentage (%) and charge remaining (Wh) values don't seem to match. I am currently seeing 76% state of charge, but only 990/1500Wh (66%). Why does this happen and is there a way to make it accurate?

how do I see if my 3000x is fried
My unit just clipped out instantly with normal loading onit. The alternator auto unit still said bank full but all other lights are out. None of the normal resets work including disconnecting the battery and power. Anybody have any ideas or know a real person who can fix it instead of a 17 year old girl in customer service.

Yeti 500X to charge Macbook Pro 16''
When using USB-C PD to charge a Macbook Pro 16'' the charge does not work, but only the Macbook rings continuously. Also, the Yeti's display shows 0 W from Output. Is this particular unit wrong? I purchased 2 of them and they acted the same. In the advertised video here…

API / Smart Home Integration
I just purchased a Yeti Pro 4000 and was surprised that I was not able to connect it to Home Assistant like I can with Yeti 3000X. It would seem that the API on the Pro 4000 is different than the 3000X, or it has been removed altogether. I can only reach a root page that states "Goal Zero Yeti 6G." If the Pro 4000 has an…

Battery reliability for 3000X and tanks?
I am considering installing a home backup system using a 3000X with a couple of tanks and possibly solar panels. My question concerns the battery life of the 3000 x and the tanks.

Yeti 300 with Nomad 50
Hello! We're using a Nomad 50 to charge the new Yeti 300. In constant bright sun the best we're able to get is about 20 watts from the panel. That seems really low even with lower efficiency expectations. Let's assume the panel is not the problem - is there something we should be doing on the Yeti 300 to troubleshoot for a…

Strange smell 500x
Hello My unit has quite strange smell - since the unboxing. I thought it’s going to go away over time - but after many uses, it’s still little bit stinky. It’s hard to define exactly, but it’s similar to maybe sulfur (no as stronh though). Did You experience the same? Is it normal?

Dimensions of 6mm barrel connectors
I would like to build power cables to run devices off of the 6mm barrel connector output. Since you do not provide a 6mm barrel connector to wire leads for this purpose, can you provide the dimensions of the connector so I can source my own?

Yeti 3000X seems dead, screen flashes when "charging" from USB
We bought a van that came with a Yeti 3000X. It worked well for a few weeks and powered an overnight trip. When we came home it sat for a bit under trees so the battery slowly dropped to about 20%. We realized we needed to charge it so ordered the 600W AC charger. By the time that arrived and I plugged it in, it was at 4%…

1500X won't charge if both DC to DC and Power Supply plugged in
Is this normal? I have the 1500X installed in my trailer, and have a DC to DC charger plugged into the barrel connector under the 'lid'. No power is being supplied to it (It is powered through the 7 pin connector, and it is not plugged in). If I also plug in the AC adapter that came with it in the front barrel connector, I…

1500X Firmware Update not completing - breaks Yeti
I initiated a firmware update using the iPhone app. According to the app, the Yeti has been updated to version 1.8.9. Seems odd, as I believe the latest version is 1.8.8. On the Yeti itself, it keeps flashing "upd", as if the firmware was not applied. I've followed the steps…

Yeti 1250 - Power not staying on
Hey Team I've had my Yeti 1250 since 2012. I love it and have always cared for it. Recently it has had issues staying on, so I assumed that the battery finally gave up the ghost. It would only stay on when plugged into the wall. The battery reads 11.33 volts. Even when I plugged it into the wall it seemed like I would have…
