Charging USB PD devices on Yeti X
Hi. I have a Yeti 1500X. Works great. I also have some USB PD battery banks (Goal Zero, Anker, ...). I find that they charge great on the 18W USBC output but not on the high-power 60W output. This is the classic USB PD negotiation problem, since I have to use the in/out port on both devices. I want the Yeti 60W port to be out and the battery back to be in. Is there a directional adaptor that I can buy that makes one side in and the other out so that the charging direction will work the way I want.
One time, I hooked up one of these battery packs to the Yeti, and then came back to find that the battery pack was empty. The Yeti won. Ughh. Clearly, the 18W port works, but it's 3x slower. I'd like fast charging.

Hi @Rich ,
We don't make an adaptor that would allow you to choose which direction you want the USB PD going. From a quick google search, we didn't see any item that specifically do this.

Thanks. It does seem that way. Sounds like a market opportunity for Goal Zero!
