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…

I have just received a Yeti 500x Portable power station. I also have a Renogy 100W 12V foldable solar panel suitcase, with built in 20A charge controller. We use this for our RV Trailer with an adaptor to fit the standard plugin, but I see the 500x has a barrel type plugin. Can anyone tell me what connector adaptor I need…

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…

1500X USB-C PD 60W not outputting power
I have a brand new Yeti 1500X. I've tried to charge my MacBook Pro but no power goes to the computer. Then I tried to charge my iPad Pro and got the same result--no power from the USB PD 60W port to the iPad. What am I doing wrong? Or do I have a defective 1500X?

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…

Battery Recycling
I have an old Yeti 50 and 400 that it looks like some of the cells have shorted. The 50 gives about 2 minutes of charge and the 400 isn't much better. I have cycled them a couple of times and the run time hasn't gotten any better. Is there a suggested procedure for recycling these since I believe they are lead acid.

Yeti 500X 60W Pd
When using 60W Pd output, my phone, computer, and tablet will act as if the port just turns on and off. You can see on the Yeti display, the output watage jumps up, then down, then up, then down and so on. I have other 65W and 90W chargers and they work fine on these items, I don't think the 60 W is too mutch. So, I'm not…

Sometimes just the blue light is solid an I connect the panels to my Sherpa100AC it says 15-20 watts. Back in my 1000X nothing happens! That‘s pretty bad!
