How to Wire a Cargo Trailer Conversion to Integrate with Yeti 1500x/PRO 4000
I have a cargo trailer that I am converting into a toy hauler and am thinking of going with the Yeti 1500x (for now and may upgrade to the PRO 4000 later) as the power solution as it is seemingly more versatile than separate batteries/inverter/etc as I can pull the until and use as home backup generator. My questions: How…

Yeti 700 - 84% bug?
Hello, so I've had my Yeti for about a week now. I love it. I wanted to extend the battery life overall so I activated the battery saver mode where it charges up to 85% max. So each time I plug it in to charge, it will charge all the way to 85% but if I leave it plugged in to the wall, it eventually discharges to 84%. Is…

I have just received a Yeti 500x Portable power station. I also have a Renogy 100W 12V foldable solar panel suitcase, with built in 20A charge controller.

Hi There. New owner of a Yeti 3000X. I am trying to use it to power our Class C motorhome (2023 Forest River Forester 3011DS) while we boondock. I plug the RV AC cord into the Yeti 100 outlet (using a 30A to 15A plug dongle) and make sure that the inverter is on. However the power control panel in the RV says “no service”.…

Any plans by the GZ team to offer a beefy, 240V-capable system? I'm interested in powering a 5hp (~3.7kw) electric sawmill off grid.

Question on extension cable and combiner cable
I have a Yeti 1000Core and a Yeti 700 (with the new battery technology--just got them both last week). I want to connect them to a Boulder 100 and Boulder 50 solar panel. This combiner cable (Goal Zero 8mm to High Power Port4X combiner cable) looks like it would work on the 1000, but not the 700. What would work with the…

Best way to store power stations in a greenhouse?
I have a Yeti 3000x power station for use at a plant nursery. I have no interior workspace to store the power station, except for a greenhouse. I am hoping to store the power bank in the greenhouse but have a few concerns. My first concern is temperature. The greenhouse is not insulated so at night can get to temperatures…

Yeti 200x USB-C 60W PD Input/Output port doesn’t seem to work
Hi there, I just bought a Yeti 200x about a week ago and I’m pretty satisfied with the purchase except one thing. When I connect my iPhone charging cable to the USB-C port with 60W PD input/output, nothing happens. USB white LED light is on & all other 3 ports worked fine. Also, can I use the MacBook Pro 70W power adapter…

PRO 4000 low power shut-off / automatic shut-on capability
Does the PRO 4000 have this functionality? Our set-up is at a remote cabin where we do not live full time. If we have several cloudy days then solar input can't keep up and the low power shut off engages and shuts down our wifi router. On our old yeti 3000 power (and wifi) would automatically be restored once the solar…

I have a brand new Yeti 1500X. I've tried to charge my MacBook Pro but no power goes to the computer. Then I tried to charge my iPad Pro and got the same result--no power from the USB PD 60W port to the iPad. What am I doing wrong? Or do I have a defective 1500X?

Yeti Link update to firmware 1.8.4 LED flashes Red
I have a unique setup where I use the alternator to charge an isolated AGM battery in my Transit Van. This battery is then connected to the 6000x with the Yeti Link in Tank mode.

Link module flashes alternatively green and then red
I have a 3000X with latest firmware (1.8.8) and it is behaving a bit strangely when the external tanks are recharging it. When the recharging first begins the tanks (Qty 2) appear to be delivering over 700 watts to the 3000X. However, after a couple minutes, perhaps, the charging level drops to a little over 200 watts as…

Yeti Tank Batteries Draining
Hi, I have a yeti 3,000 connected to three tank batteries. Love the system, however when I leave the tanks plugged into the Yeti through the module, there seems to be some significant parasitic drain on the tanks. When not plugged into the yeti, the yeti and the tanks stay full much longer. There are no loads plugged into…

Purchased a used Yeti 150 and I only get 90vac out of theAC outlet when measured with a meter.
Unit also shows 80% power and starts charging ok with a flashing "full" and when I plug in the adapter. But if I plug anything into it the display goes dead. I tried changing out the battery which I assume was the original, and will let the new battery charge overnight, but my front panel meter also shows the new battery…

4000 Pro + Tank: Unequal discharge
I've got a 4000 pro installed with a single tank stacked in my Sprinter. I commonly see the tank capacity at 10-20% below the main unit. I would expect the two units to draw equally. Is this normal and expected behavior? When charging on shore power, the two do eventually even out. Thanks.

Inaccurate display of battery remaining percent?
Just acquired a GZ 3000X that was used very little and remained, for the most part apparently, fully charged for a number of months. Now, when I start applying a load to power some things I notice that the unit only very, very slowly starts to decrement the display number for battery % remaining. At the moment the unit…

Yeti Pro 4000 / Alternator Charging
hi folks, New here, and looking at whether it's worth the effort to hook up 8mm to alternator (12v) on 2024 sprinter?
