Rust of metal parts Yeti 400
Why does Goal Zero use metal parts for Yeti 400 (and others?) who rust by using it inside a campervan : screws on top and 12V socket? How simpel to choice for corrosion resistant parts. Of course, nowadays, the fault = the customer. Other metal parts in the campervan do NOT rust.

I have a Yeti 1000 Portable Power Station (not the 1000W). Is the MPPT Module compatible?
I bought my Yeti 1000 5+ years ago and have never connected it to solar panels. I have a Goal Zero 50 watt solar panel and plan to buy a 200 watt Boulder 200 BC unit. Is the MPPT compatible with my PPS 1000 unit? GZ Web site says MPPT is compatible with 1000W units and higher. If compatible are there other accessories that…

Low battery AC inverter shutdown
Hi, I use my Yeti 1250 to power a small off grid refrigerator. Sometimes when returning to the cabin, I find the AC inverter has shut off. Makes sense that a few cloudy days might not provide enough power, but I’m wondering what battery level or voltage the Yeti 1250 is configured at to shut down the AC inverter when the…

1400 always shows 100% charge
My 1400 recently started having a display problem. The display always shows it's 100% charged, when I know that's not true. I've tried a soft reset, and updated the firmware. Example: With no input, and a lamp plugged in, I can see that the Watt Hours output since the last reset is 780 watt hours, it shows 7.8 hours in…

Charging USB PD devices on Yeti X
Hi. I have a Yeti 1500X. Works great. I also have some USB PD battery banks (Goal Zero, Anker, ...). I find that they charge great on the 18W USBC output but not on the high-power 60W output. This is the classic USB PD negotiation problem, since I have to use the in/out port on both devices. I want the Yeti 60W port to be…

Hi I've charged my Yeti 200X using the car accessory on 12v at 10A mode instead of 5A. So far it worked well getting 120W estimated charge rate like the 120w wall charger. Am I lucky it didn't fried the unit yet or did it self limit power being pumped by itself ? thanks

Yeti 1000 drains when outputs are on but nothing connected.
I have Yeti 1000 Lithium, and I noticed when I leave the outputs (12V, 120V, USB) turned on with nothing actually connected, the battery still drains rather quickly. I didn't record the specific rate but it's about 10% per day. Is that normal? I haven't taken the time to determine which output specifically. I generally…

Can you charge with a Generator and solar panels at the same time?
Hello, everyone! I'm taking my Yeti 1400 to Burning Man with a 4500 W generator for my AC and a Boulder 200 Briefcase. I will only have the generator on during the hottest part of the day to power my AC but I would love to quick charge the Yeti while I'm using my AC.

Temperature Limits
Under the lid of my 3000x the stated temperature ranges are: Charging temperature 0C to 40C and Discharge temperature -10C to 60C. Yet I believe the Yeti only allows discharge over the limited temperature range of 0C - 40C. Is this correct? And a related question: Does anyone know the safe storage temperature range for the…

Charging Yeti 1000x from AC while in use -- gradually draining battery
I have set up a new 1000x and tested charging from solar panels, which works well (although with 3 Boulder 200s in full sunlight I wish I was seeing something closer to 600W than to 300W incoming). When not using solar panels to run the selected items (mostly internet routers / switches) I want to plug the 1000x into its…

Connecting Yeti 1500x to 12v distribution block
Hi, I'm trying to connect the high power 12v output on my Yeti to a distribution/fuse block for a couple of appliances in my van. How would I do that? The only way I see is to take one of the high power cables, cut an end off and attach ring connectors to the wire then to the block. Is there a better way? Thanks.

Absolute maximum solar input for 6000X?
