Yeti 400 Turning off
I've had a Yeti 400, lead acid version, for years. I use it as an emergency back power on a hospital mattress. The bed is always plugged in and so is the charger. Recently it shut off randomly and within 2 days the battery drained despite nothing plugged in. Replaced the battery and it seemed fine, however it is just…

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…

Link Expansion Module LEDs flashing green then red
Hi all, I think I have some issues with my Link since the last firmware update. My LEDs are flashing red/green, but not all 4 as described in the table I have seen either 1 or 3 LEDs flashing.

Nomad 20 won’t charge :/
Hi, I just received a Nomad 20 and tried it with several devices connected directly to it, being unable to use it. It’s a bit cloudy here in London (12-14pm) but enough sun I can project my own shadow. 1.

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?

Lithium expansion tanks
I have a Yeti 1500 and am very interested in expanding my storage capacity. I am not excited about lead-acid batteries as they have a shorter useable lifespan than lithium. Is there a way to use lithium batteries for storage AND charge them through my Yeti 1500?

Add a LiFePO4 battery to 1500X using Link Expansion Module?
I am using a 1500x in a camper van and just got the vehicle integration kit. I would also like to add 200ah of capacity. AGM batteries are too heavy compared to lithium iron phosphate batteries.

Link multiple 100 Watt panels
Can I disconnect the wiring of a 200 Watt Suitcase and rewire those two panels to one 100 Watt panel and then mount all three individually on a framework? ( a frame which raises them 12 feet off the ground. I am thinking that I could wire them in parallel (all +'s together and all -'s together). I would then run some…

Link multiple 100 Watt panels
How would it be for me to parallel the 200 suitcase to one 100 watt panel? If I want 300-400 Watts of charging power, is it best to buy a second 200 Watt Suitcase like the one I have and parallel the two 200 Watt Suitcase models? I also have a question about mounting the Suitcase models. Is that acceptable wherein I would…

Yeti 1000X minimum Input
Is there a minimum input for the 8mm Port? If I connect my panels (Boulder 100BC and/or Nomad 50) my 1000X only starts charging at 25 wats and above! Sometimes just the blue light is solid an I connect the panels to my Sherpa100AC it says 15-20 watts. Back in my 1000X nothing happens! That‘s pretty bad!

Vehicle Integration Kit not working properly
I've recently installed the Vehicle Integration kit on a Yeti 3000X, in a 1995 Toyota Hiace. Upon startup, I'll see 10-12w input, but that dwindles to zero in a minute or two. The batteries (dual battery setup - diesel) are showing 13.7 -13.8V. The Link module shows all four green lights. And no other inputs are powered.…

Our Yeti 1000 has been plugged into a kitchen outlet for a couple of years. During power outages we've plugged the fridge into it.
