Yeti 1500X - Display Won't Stay Off
I'm having a bit of an annoying issue with my 1500X - when I turn the display off, it never stays turned off. I think it's an issue with the solar power being intermittent - essentially whenever it sees solar input it turns the display on. Since my camper (where the Yeti lives) is often in partial shade, this means it's…

600 watt power supply settles in at 50w charging YetiX 1500
I bought the YetiX 1500 and the 600w charger at the same time. Have tried many times to charge the 1500 with it, and when it first starts charging, it shows the rate at nearly 600w. But it only holds that rate for about one minute. Then for no apparent reason, the charging rate sits back down to about 50w. I can turn off…

The charging profile always starts out at 60 amps very briefly…
