Yeti Link Car Mode not working, again.

Member Posts: 5 ✭✭

Anyone have any troubleshooting tips to figure out why my Link stopped charging the 1500x via the alternator?

There was a firmware update at the end of last year that was supposed to resolve this, and it did seem to charge a few times. Now I'm back to a dead GZ. Tried a factory reset, and reinstalled the Link. No luck.

Super disappointed because I went through the trouble of asking tech support prior to purchasing if this worked with smart alternators. Was assured it did, but it's only worked a handful of times since I got it. So much wasted time! I could be camping instead I'm in the driveway faffing about with this thing, again.

Also, since the energy history feature doesn't work I can't even see when the issue (re)started.

I might just go back to my previous battleborn and victron setup. That always just worked, never had to think about it.

Thanks.

    Hi @charlespicard448,

    What firmware version is the link currently at? We did roll back the firmware on the link for several months as there were a couple of issues with the original firmware that was supposed to fix this problem. We have since re-released it and the Yeti link should work with most smart alternators.

    Thanks for the reply, I did just get a response via email and got an RMA number. The Link FW is up to date at 1.8.6, and I believe that's the one that should have fixed the smart alternator issue according to the release notes.
