Why was Yeti400 discontinued -- should I get replacement battery/solar panel?
I bought a Yeti 400 in 2018. The last 3-4 years I have not camped and rarely used it, but left it plugged in indoors. Now I am back to camping and the battery is barely holding a charge. I was going to replace the battery but am curious why the 400 was discontinued. Should I continue to invest in it? Which solar panels work best for it?

400 Lithium or 400 AGM?
Finally, the battery is dead. It’s easy to replace the 400 AGM, you can do it by youself and it’s done within five minutes. The 400 Lithium can‘t replace by the user. Contact Goal Zero.
A battery may be used to get a long lifespan. Sitting charged up is not good und the battery died fast.
Discharge it every three month below 60% or better use it regularly. So you get many years lifespan and the battery stay healthy.

Thank you! I bought it in 2017 so I don't think it is l lithium. I didn't know or manage to educate myself on discharging it every three months. I will make sure and do that with the replacement.
