Battery Recycling
I have an old Yeti 50 and 400 that it looks like some of the cells have shorted. The 50 gives about 2 minutes of charge and the 400 isn't much better. I have cycled them a couple of times and the run time hasn't gotten any better. Is there a suggested procedure for recycling these since I believe they are lead acid.

Yeti 500X 60W Pd
When using 60W Pd output, my phone, computer, and tablet will act as if the port just turns on and off. You can see on the Yeti display, the output watage jumps up, then down, then up, then down and so on. I have other 65W and 90W chargers and they work fine on these items, I don't think the 60 W is too mutch. So, I'm not…

Use while Charging 500X ??
I am using my 500X (just purchased) to provide power to my wifi router and cable modem. The power output is 35 watts (also confirmed by other means) and power input shows 60 watts. Strangely, the battery charge level keeps dropping? Is there a point where this will stabilize?
