uPd under output?
When using my 3000x I sometimes see a flashing "uPd" code on the screen under the output section. There isn't any description of what this means in the manual. Is it simply "updating" for the output measurement or something else?

How does the Link Module Firmware determine charging amperage?
I use a 1500x with a Link Module in my campervan. I charge it from the van's 150 amp ("non-smart") alternator. I use the 12ft EC8 extension cable with the male EC8 to ring terminal cable so the total run from the vehicle battery to the Yeti is about 13 1/2 ft. The charging profile always starts out at 60 amps very briefly…

Putting my yeti 6000x in a weather proof enclosure, bad idea?
I have a yeti 6000x that I need to have outside near the solar panels. It will be on a covered porch so it would not get too wet leaving it out. But I want to put it in a weatherproof container. I would prefer a container not much bigger than the yeti. Do I need to worry about air circulation? If so, would drilling a few…

Running a sump pump from a battery system
I have an odd situation. About once every 3 to 5 years I have a basement flood due to an extremely high tide. The water comes in at a high rate (>150 gpm) for a short time (not longer than an hour). Sump pumps that can handle this situation are available at a reasonable price. Since it is possible that this situation could…

Battery Trade-in program
LOVE my YETI 1000. But after 3 years as the only electric source i have in my tiny trailer home, it doesnt have the capacity it once held. Seems a trade-in program would be the best ECO practices to follow. Does Goal Zero have a Responsibility Plan to deal with the discharged battery from their products ending up in…

Chaining a GZ Extreme 350 to SLA batteries

Useable capacity of GZ 1200 Wh tanks
Hi, I would like to know what is the real world useable capacity of the GZ tanks. It is stated that their capacity is 1200 Wh, I believe. I now have HIK installed and currently just have a 1500x but plan on getting a 3000x plus 2-4 tanks or just a single 6000x. So, would the 3000x with 2 tanks provide a full 5400Wh (3000 +…

Incorrect voltage showing in App for Yeti 1500X
Hi, My Yeti 1500X 230V/240V incorrectly shows input voltage as 120V in the App. This is a persistent problem that has survived firmware upgrade, device resets, discharge to flat/recharge, App uninstall/resintall with clearing of cache and data on Android. How do I get the app to show the voltage it's actually operating at?…

Yeti 500x won’t charge
I purchased my power station yesterday and have had it plugged into the wall for about 20 hours and the display is still flashing on 20 in the battery life graphic. Is this normal? The user guide says it should fully charge in about 10 hours. I’m worried something is wrong.

How do I update Link firmware?
I was told prior to purchasing that the latest firmware resolves the smart alternator charging issue. The app allows me to update the Yeti 1500x firmware (now 1.8.0) but the link firmware is greyed out and shows 1.5.7. How do I update this, because the Yeti only charges momentarily. And the wattage bounces all over.…

Are any of the power kits able to provide 9000 watt hours a day with enough panels ?

Optimal setup for solar panels on Yeti 6000X
Hi all, I'm quite new to power stations and their solar panels, hence I've got a few questions on my mind.

Check my math please...
I'm looking at a way to power my condo during downtimes, such as events like Hurricane Ian we just went through here in SW Florida. See if I am correct on this please: Refrigerator: 115 v x 2.1 amps = 356.5 watts. To run for 24h would be 356.5 x 24 = 8556 watt-hours. Seems like this exceeds the capacity of your electrical…
