Goal Zero 500X shutting off
I have a 500X that will not run consistently without tripping some kind of internal breaker, goes down at the worst time. Doesn't matter if you have it plugged in at home or in the vehicle. Still in warranty just reaching out before I take it back.

Not much info in this post. What are you plugging into the 500X? Does it happen at a certain percentage? What port is tripping? Are you talking about input or output? Maybe attach photos or videos of what you are talking about?

Any updates?

I did a reset and testing, a day and a half so far.

It has a Dometic fridge plugged in the the 120V output and in a ford 150 trickle charging the Goal Zero battery

It may be that the fridge peak load is too much for the 500. I would not run a full size fridge from it. I'd use a 1000 or larger. Check the specs on the 500 for surge / peak capacity then measure the fridge. The fridge is probably close or over that limit.
This is not just a function of when you plug it in either, it can be a function of when the compressor kicks in periodically. If the unit is old and not up to snuff it may labor more, too.
