Purchased a used Yeti 150 and I only get 90vac out of theAC outlet when measured with a meter.

Unit also shows 80% power and starts charging ok with a flashing "full" and when I plug in the adapter. But if I plug anything into it the display goes dead.

I tried changing out the battery which I assume was the original, and will let the new battery charge overnight, but my front panel meter also shows the new battery at 80% when I started trying to charge it.

Measurements made with a multimeter:

+12vDC socket out is +14.52vdc

USB out is +5 Vds

Here is the strange thing, when I measure the AC output it is only 90 to 93 vac and it shold be 110 to 115.

Is this repairable? A assume something has gone bad in the DC to AC rectifier/converter or in the charging circuit. Hopefully someone has had the same problem and can provide a fix.

    Hi @Brasssong,

    It does sound like there is a problem with the AC inverter. Unfortunately, we don't do repairs for the Yeti 150 since it has been discontinued now for several years and we no longer have any parts for it.
