    I have a Pro4000 plus a tank and went from 60% to 0% in two days running only a 12v refrigerator in cool Seattle weather. I'ver tried all the reboots, power recycling and resets with no luck. Tank is flashing red ERROR light. Will not charge.

    Row 1: WARNING -
    Row 2: BATTERY
    Row 3: CHGMOSERR

    Row 1: ALERT -
    Row 2: BATTERY
    Row 3: FAULT

    Please advise.

    Hi @Yeti4000Pro_user,

    We have seen this happen due to a low voltage on the battery. The best way to fix this error is by charging it via a 120W power supply (if you do not have one, please contact our solution center about this issue). This will make sure the internal battery gets to a high enough voltage to stop the Alert and from it draining so quickly.

    You will also want to update the firmware version. If the firmware version has been updated recently, you will want to press and hold the pair button (while being cloud connected) for 10 seconds. This will force the unit to try to update, allowing any error that occurred during the initial update to clear.

    I'm experiencing the same issue. The unit was beeping weirdly. Not working now, won't power anything, won't charge itself, LCD screen not working. There's no information online about these messages that I could find.

    I have my device charging via solar and AC input but it does nothing. I literally cannot do anything with my device. It's just a $4k brick.

    I feel your pain. And always on a weekend… I called GZ on the following Monday AFTER I got it working myself and got a very different answer than the Admin gave me above. Here's what I did (best I can recall):

    Short answer is 1) Unplug everything. 2) Wait a few minutes. 3) Hold the power button down 20 seconds. 4) Plug everything back in again. 5) Try to power up again. 6) Drive around for ~30 minutes with a low voltage charge trickling in from the starter battery. Once I saw 15% charge I was able to plug into shore power and bring it back to 100%

    No issues since then… best of luck!

    I'm on my second Yeti Pro 4000 and am experiencing the exact same error (0n two separate units). I'm starting to believe the Yeti Pro 4000 is a fatally flawed product. I've attempted the steps identified in the troubleshooting page (including factory reset) and nothing seems to fix the problem. I'm open to any additional ideas. Having a 110lb brick is really, really frustrating.

    I have the same message on my screen. I have done all the resets and nothing is working. I am still getting these messages below. I have emailed GoalZero and waiting for a response. After attempting the reset is still goes through its clicks and beeps like it's trying to do something but to no avail. The display is showing 100% charge on the battery and there is a battery ICON on the display with a ! inside it. So now I wait for a response. Has anyone else had the problem resolved?

    Row 1: WARNING -
    Row 2: BATTERY
    Row 3: CHGMOSERR

    Row 1: ALERT -
    Row 2: BATTERY

    I’m not ready to throw in the towel just yet but my Yeti 4000 and extra battery bank won’t take a DC or AC charge at all. Calling, emailing and texting GZ I get a glimmer of hope the firmware update will fix this bug ‘sometime’ in June.

    I have the same problem on a brand new 4000 Pro bought 32 days ago. It was plugged in the wall the whole time. I called GZ and they said it was defective. Since other users had two defective units in a row, I'm wondering if there is a manufacturing defect on this entire model? It's hard to tell if this is a 1% problem or a 50% problem…

    Just received my new Yeti Pro 4000 and having the same exact problem with the battery charge error, beeping and no input/output with the AC cord. Thought it may be a fluke due to storage so I just used my Goalzero Yeti 25A fast charger and plugged it into the rear anderson power pole port and let it sit for a few minutes. It fluctuated a bit but then settled down and started charging. Input at around 370-380 watts and states the battery will fully charged in 11 hours.

    Also plugged in unit into wall plug and charging fine:

    Follow up to a prior post for a new unit with error messages:

    Row 1: WARNING -
    Row 2: BATTERY
    Row 3: CHGMOSERR

    Row 1: ALERT -
    Row 2: BATTERY
    Row 3: FAULT

    After letting it charge with a higher power charger at the anderson connection, I then connected the unit to the app and updated the firmware which updated an extraordinary amount of bug fixes!! Unit running perfect! Unit was delivered with hardly any charge.

    I have this serial number missing error after it finally cleared the power input errors (T~T) the app shows the info there deeper in battery settings but not on main display and none of the resets work. I have tried to reach out to goal zero but it's after hours and I'm in the middle of some 40deg weather with no other power since it refuses to output with this message up.
