What to do when an appliance asks for ground.
So I picked up a dual burner cooktop. It's 120 volt 60 HZ 1800 w 15 amp burner. I was reading the instructions before wanting to use it today and it said that it needs ground. I looked at the Goal Zero 3000x and the ground port is just plastic. So how do people use a Goal Zero with a product that needs ground? Is there a…

Was gifted two power stations ---
There was a fella who didn't want his power stations anymore, I'm not sure 100% why but he kind of alluded to they just didn't fit his lifestyle anymore. So he handed over to me a 3000x and a 1500x.

Charging one Yeti from Another
I have two Yetis: a 3000x and and a 6000x. The 6000X is connected to my home integration kit. Is it OK to use an HPP cable to connect the output of the 3000x to the input of the 6000x in order to supplement its power? I know I can physically do it but I want to know if that would put either unit at risk.

Battery problem?
I have a Yeti 1000 purchased from Costco in 2018. It hasn't been used much and the SOC rarely gets below 50%, though a couple of times it has been completely discharged. Now when recharging the SOC doesn't get above 91%. Is this expected, or a problem with the battery? Thanks, Frank Smith

Yeti 6000x vehicle charging
Trying to do some research for a client on connecting their 6000x to the vehicle for charging. It seems we have two options, the YetiLink Vehicle Kit, that may or may not have issues with the smart alternator. Or we can source a separate "dumb" DC to DC boost convertor that will output 40v all the time and have to isolate…
