Extension cord length from Yeti6000 to home integration unit
Can I use a longer extension cord from my home integration panel to the 6000 than the one provided? Especially if I use the same gauge cord? I need just a few more feet to go from the battery to the integration circuit on the wall near the fuse panel box.

Hi @garyp,
The cord that comes with the Yeti Home Integration Kit is 10 feet long. If you are just looking to go to 15 feet you are probably fine but I would not add a 30 foot one. The problem with adding length even at the same gauge wire is the resistance goes up and results in more heat in appliances that have motors if it produces enough voltage drop.
I would do a quick test with things before and after you swap out for longer cord to spot any signs of issues before resuming continuous use.
Let me know how your test goes!
