What's the difference between the various Goal Zero Solar Panel Combiners?
Goal Zero seems to make two different parallel combiners. One seems to be simple wires, and one appears to have circuitry. However, I can't find any documentation confirming this, or explaining what the circuitry does. The "4 to 1 High Power Port (HPP) Combiner Cable" (SKU 98061) appears to be just 4 inputs wired in…

Why is the Yeti Pro 4000 AC Output unexpectedly shutting off?
I have a Yeti Pro 4000 and I've noticed that after a 1-3 days operation the AC output port shuts off for no apparent reason. Is this a known issue? I can turn the port back on via the app, but I get no notification that it's been turned off. So, I must continually monitor through the app or by looking at the front panel.…

Ok wow, where to begin? Well, I just got and unboxed my new GZ Yeti 4000 Pro today and plugged it in, linked it to the app on my phone, all per provided instructions and almost NOTHING is working!

Charging Yeti 1000x from AC while in use -- gradually draining battery
I have set up a new 1000x and tested charging from solar panels, which works well (although with 3 Boulder 200s in full sunlight I wish I was seeing something closer to 600W than to 300W incoming). When not using solar panels to run the selected items (mostly internet routers / switches) I want to plug the 1000x into its…

Powering a Starlink Mini from 6mm 12v Output
I’m looking to get a Starlink Mini (StarM) and would like to understand the option of powering it using the 12v output from a Yeti 500/500x. I understand there will be an option to power the StarM via USB-C, that’s not what I’m asking about right now and the 500x only has 60w output which wouldn’t be enough. I see there…

Powering a Starlink Mini via the Yeti Pro 4000s 100w USB-C port
I've got the Yeti Pro 4000 and hope to power a Starlink Mini directly via its USB-C port. The specs show that in theory the Yeti's 100w max (5-20v, up to 5A) output should work. The Starlink Mini requires a 100W (20V/5A) power source so it *should" work, right? I see a thread below where a GZ Sherpa 100AC (with the same…

Goal Zero 100AC Issues
I'm leaving for a trip and trying to run my Starlink mini off the 100AC and Nomad 50 Solar Panel Setup. The Starlink Mini requires 100W/20V/5A per their website which the 100AC states it can provide using the 100w USBC port on output (per goal zero). When plugging in the Starlink I can see it demands roughly 40watts of…

Charging Yeti Pro 4000 with Other Brand Panels
I have a set of 8x100W Renege solar panels, all connected with MC4 connectors. There are two strings of 4 panels connected in serial, then the two strings are combined in parallel for a final DC output of max 80V x 10A giving me nominally 800W. Each string has proper fuses in line as well. I'm assuming that I can use this…

4000 Pro + Tank: Unequal discharge
I've got a 4000 pro installed with a single tank stacked in my Sprinter. I commonly see the tank capacity at 10-20% below the main unit. I would expect the two units to draw equally. Is this normal and expected behavior? When charging on shore power, the two do eventually even out. Thanks.

Hello Awesome Community, Let me start by saying my firmware is up to date. Is anyone experiencing issues with the Yeti 4000 and its add-ons in cold weather?

Yeti 700 and Propane Heater Troubleshoot
For the heater, it’s a 1987 propane heater in our old slide in camper that uses a small amount of electricity for the thermostat, fan, and main burner igniters. Here’s the weird problem: when we use the Yeti 700 to fire it up, sometimes the main burners ignite and sometimes, more often, they don’t. We can see the power…

AC trickle charge for Yeti 4000
is it possible to trickle charge the 4000 with the 120 watt Yeti X AC power supply? My 4000’s voltage and state of charge % seem out of sync. When I trickle charge off my vehicle alternator at 120 watts, the voltage seems to be closer to the state of charge. However, when I use the 4000’s AC input port or my 400 watt solar…
