I bought a Yeti 400 in 2018. The last 3-4 years I have not camped and rarely used it, but left it plugged in indoors. Now I am back to camping and the battery is barely holding a charge. I was going to replace the battery but am curious why the 400 was discontinued. Should I continue to invest in it? Which solar panels…

Hi all, I have tried charging my 100AC with a 90W laptop charger, a 60w Anker QI charger with USB, and an OEM Apple Macbook charger.

Continuous Perpetual Power
Duh!?!? Why has nobody figured the obvious solution? Why not just plug your AC Charger into the AC inverter Outlet of your Yeti 3000x and then just plug the DC output of the charger into the charger input of the Yeti 3000x??? Hmmm? Yup, I am smart like that! So smart I must slap myself silly! ROTFLMAO! Ha! Smart Asinine…

How do it clean or recondition the plastic on my Nomad 100 panel?
3 out of 4 of the segments on my Nomad 100 have become very fogged. I haven't used any abrasives cleaning it, just some dawn and a sponge followed by a rinse. Is there a better way to clean them up? Output has gotten much lower over the years too. Only about 40w on my Yeti 1000 via the mppt on full sun at solar noon.

Run 12V A/C Unit (Velit) on Goal Zero Yeti 6000x ?
The velit operating current says it's between 20A and 60A, the goal zero yeti has a total of 30 + 30 + 10 + 10 + 13 = 93A of combined 12V output currents. I see that you can combine the outputs into one high current: https://www.goalzero.com/products/12v-max-current-cable But it still seems limited to 40A (and not 93A or…

Goal Zero 1500 with Link
So recently I added the link and two of the goal zero tanks to my 1500 and love the way it works. Previously (with just the 1500) I was charging it with the 600 watt 120v charger using a generator. With the link came a 120 watt charger to plug into the link which works fine but is, of course, much slower. Two questions....…
