Is my Yeti 1400 Tank fried?
I use my Yeti a lot. It sits in the back of my truck where I keep a fridge/freezer for camping, but I also use it to charge/run tools.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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…
