Can I use the two HPP of my Yeti 1500x simultaneosly?

JohnJimenez

• I want to connect 4 diesel heaters (from 5KW to 8KW, 12V)... the specs of the yeti 1500x says: 2x High Power Port: 360W Max (12V, up to 30A), regulated; Front face & under lid 

Do you think if I use 2 diesel heaters in the front port and 2 diesel heaters under lid could work?

Hi @JohnJimenez,

The High Power port share the 30A limit. Meaning that through one or both of them, you can only output a max of 30A at 12V. If you were to run all 4 heaters at once, it would exceed the output max and shut the 12V port off. You may be able to use 3 if the start up amps do not exceed 10A each.

I have some followup questions about 12VDC output capacity of the Yeti 1500X.

Questions

1. What is the total output current available across all 12VDC ports?
2. Do all of the APP 12VDC output ports share the same output circuit?
3. If there multiple output circuits, which ports (other than the two Anderson Powerpole ports mentioned in previous comment) have shared output circuits?

Yeti 1500X 12VDC output ports

• 6mm round port #1 (faceplate): 12V, up to 10A (120W max), regulated
• 6mm round port #2 (faceplate): 12V, up to 10A (120W max), regulated
• Car port (faceplate): 12V, up to 13A (160W max), regulated
• Anderson Powerpole port #1 (faceplate): combined output with APP #2; 12V, up to 30A (360W max), regulated
• Anderson Powerpole port #2 (under lid): combined output with APP #1; 12V, up to 30A (360W max), regulated

Recommendation for specs / manual

These questions expose significant deficiency in the specifications on the website and in the manuals for all of the Goal Zero power stations. This info is relevant and useful for anyone using a GZ power station primarily as a 12VDC source (e.g. in a camper or van).

Thank you!
