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…

Vinegar OK to clean solar panel?
I use my solar panels at Burning Man and they get covered with alkaline dust. I clean them with a little bit of water, but what would work better is if I added some vinegar to the water. But I've been hesitant to do that. Is vinegar OK to clean them with?

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....…

If input parameters of HPP input port are respected, does the power source matter?
I want to charge 1500x from 24v lithium battery bank. 24v is within voltage window. Battery puts out max of 50a so should also be inside Amp window. Seems too good to be true but would allow me to ditch lead acid tanks, improve portability of the system ... what am I missing? MFT
