Yeti 1500x Idle Battery Drain?
Just got my 1500x a week or so ago. The day I got it, I charged it up and with it idle with the only power being used for Wi-Fi cloud connect I was getting a drain of 15Wh per day. I called customer support and they said that was to fast. They had me do a hard and soft reset and told me to charge up and give it a couple…

Yeti 500X Losing Power
I just pulled my Yeti 500X out of the garage and it had less than 10% charge. It was at nearly 100% the last time I checked, which wasn’t more than 2 or 3 months ago. Is that normal?

Small wind turbine
Hi - I'd like to get a small wind turbine to work with my Yeti (1500X). I saw an earlier thread that didn't really have an answer, beyond 24V as the input goal. Any other advice? Team YETI/Goal Zero, this seems like one that the corporate office should be interested in, no? I would happily buy something that was guaranteed…

Maintaining LiFePo4 Battery
Will be taking delivery of a new Yeti 700 in a couple days. Since it has the new LiFePo4 batteries, is there a specific way to maintain these batteries? Can I leave the 700 permanently plugged in or should I charge to 100% then discharge to a specific percentage?

Yeti 700 Charging Issue
A few days ago, I took delivery of a Yeti 700. I charged it overnight, via a wall outlet, to 100%. The following day, I noticed it had dropped to 96% while still plugged in.

Yeti 1000X or 700?
I have an older Yeti 400 AGM which has served me well for years, replaced the battery and to this day, it's still going strong. I would like to upgrade and have narrowed my choices down to either the Yeti 1000X or the new Yeti 700. Now I understand the differences between the two, different battery chemistries, different…

Is it possible to charge a Yeti 3000 from a bike generator (an alternator powered by a bike)?
OK, first off, I COMPLETELY understand that charging a Yeti power station from a bike will take FOREVER and that it's really inefficient and all of that. This is not about the speed and efficiency of charging my power station. This is about motivating me to ride the bike trainer more. If I knew that the energy that I was…

How to Wire a Cargo Trailer Conversion to Integrate with Yeti 1500x/PRO 4000
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…

Fan noise 500?
I've had two 1500's plugged in for for well over a year and I've never heard a peep from them. Just got a 500 and I hear what has to be a fan kick on fairly regularly. They are all stored in a cool basement area, so there's no difference in temperature or heat to speak of. No lights on the panel indicating something wrong…

Yeti 200x stopped charging from rear input
My yeti 200x stopped charging from the rear input. I can charge it from usb c input on the front. I have tried resetting the device multiple times.

Yeti 300/500/700 technical questions before buy
After one month on market there are no reviews/tests from the new Yeti somewhere in the web (except Amazon, but it's influencer rigmarole 🙄).

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…

Brand new Yeti 1000X doesnt charge
Hi, I received my brand new Yeti 1000X today and I´m now trying to charge it for the first time.

Toxic Burning Smell Coming From my Yeti 3000X
Came home today and opened the garage where my Yeti 3000X is plugged in. There was a very strong toxic burning smell. The smell was emanating from the Yeti. I unplugged the Yeti, opened my garage doors and turned a fan on to help disperse the odor. Unfortunately, the smell seeped into my house and hopefully didn’t…

Yeti 700 - 84% bug?
Hello, so I've had my Yeti for about a week now. I love it. I wanted to extend the battery life overall so I activated the battery saver mode where it charges up to 85% max. So each time I plug it in to charge, it will charge all the way to 85% but if I leave it plugged in to the wall, it eventually discharges to 84%. Is…

Question on extension cable and combiner cable
I have a Yeti 1000Core and a Yeti 700 (with the new battery technology--just got them both last week). I want to connect them to a Boulder 100 and Boulder 50 solar panel. This combiner cable (Goal Zero 8mm to High Power Port4X combiner cable) looks like it would work on the 1000, but not the 700. What would work with the…

I have a Yeti 3000x power station for use at a plant nursery. I have no interior workspace to store the power station, except for a greenhouse.

Yeti 200x USB-C 60W PD Input/Output port doesn’t seem to work
Hi there, I just bought a Yeti 200x about a week ago and I’m pretty satisfied with the purchase except one thing.

Link module flashes alternatively green and then red
I have a 3000X with latest firmware (1.8.8) and it is behaving a bit strangely when the external tanks are recharging it. When the recharging first begins the tanks (Qty 2) appear to be delivering over 700 watts to the 3000X. However, after a couple minutes, perhaps, the charging level drops to a little over 200 watts as…

Inaccurate display of battery remaining percent?
Just acquired a GZ 3000X that was used very little and remained, for the most part apparently, fully charged for a number of months. Now, when I start applying a load to power some things I notice that the unit only very, very slowly starts to decrement the display number for battery % remaining. At the moment the unit…
