Battery Charge Percentage and Stored Energy don't match
I have a Goal Zero 1500X. It is updated to the latest firmware (1.8.9). When I look at the app, the charge percentage (%) and charge remaining (Wh) values don't seem to match. I am currently seeing 76% state of charge, but only 990/1500Wh (66%). Why does this happen and is there a way to make it accurate?

AC port has no power
Hi! Bought a 3rd hand van with a Yeti 3000X (no receipt or warranty). Worked a charm the last 6 months but suddenly the AC outlet has no power. I've tried all the resets to no avail. There are no errors or loud beeps, the only thing I have noticed which may or may not be new is when I press the AC button above the port…

My unit just clipped out instantly with normal loading onit. The alternator auto unit still said bank full but all other lights are out. None of the normal resets work including disconnecting the battery and power. Anybody have any ideas or know a real person who can fix it instead of a 17 year old girl in customer service.

I have a storage shed that is perfectly aligned with the sun's movement during the day. Has anyone attached (temporarily) a Ranger 300 panel to a wall? Any suggestions on how to hold the panel off the ground and "hooked" onto a wall would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Custom Charge profiles not working - Yeti Pro 4000
I have been trying to use custom charge profiles on the Yeti Pro 4000, but it seems to keep ignoring them. For example, I set it to max charge 95%, min charge 15%, and start charging when it hits 90%. But the Yeti will run itself down to 0% sometimes (and then get stuck, and wont charge back up until I do a full reset). Or…

Solar Passthrough on the Yeti Pro 4000
I was wondering how solar should behave on the Yeti Pro 4000. I have my charge profile set to Balanced. Currently the Yeti is at 95% so it's above the 90% recharge point. I have solar going into the unit. If I put an AC load it will pull from the battery despite there being adequate solar that could passthrough to power…

8mm plug sticking and resulting hack
I just had a warranty replacement on a boulder 100w suitcase that wasn’t working right. My suspicion (not confirmed) was the cord at the 8mm plug. I was never able to separate the plugs with reasonable force and several times had to resort to pulling apart by the cords, I suspect this degraded the wires. Maybe it was the…

API / Smart Home Integration
I just purchased a Yeti Pro 4000 and was surprised that I was not able to connect it to Home Assistant like I can with Yeti 3000X. It would seem that the API on the Pro 4000 is different than the 3000X, or it has been removed altogether. I can only reach a root page that states "Goal Zero Yeti 6G." If the Pro 4000 has an…

Escape Drivable Kit HPP+ Connector
Hey folks…. I installed a GZ Yeti Pro 4000 in my van build — and used the Escape Drivable Kit to connect the 30A Anderson to the 12V circuit of the van, and the HPP+ to the rooftop solar. The connectors provided in the kit with the pigtails have 90deg connectors - so when plugged in to the back of the Yeti, the wires are…

Product idea(s)
Just bought my first two Light a Lifes and had this idea pop in my head: Light A Life, but with an integrated PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, so that walking near the device triggers it "on" -- aka turns it into an inexpensive motion sensor + flood light. Perhaps it also has a "nightlight" setting where it starts out on a…
