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…

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?
