Powering a Starlink Mini from 6mm 12v Output
I’m looking to get a Starlink Mini (StarM) and would like to understand the option of powering it using the 12v output from a Yeti 500/500x. I understand there will be an option to power the StarM via USB-C, that’s not what I’m asking about right now and the 500x only has 60w output which wouldn’t be enough. I see there…

How to force firmware update on Yeti 700?
I just bought a brand new Yeti 700 direct from Goal Zero. The App reports that it has the original firmware version 1.1.6. Firmware version 1.3.1 was released over 4 months ago.

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…

API / Smart Home Integration
I just purchased a Yeti Pro 4000 and was surprised that I was not able to connect it to Home Assistant like I can with Yeti 3000X. It would seem that the API on the Pro 4000 is different than the 3000X, or it has been removed altogether. I can only reach a root page that states "Goal Zero Yeti 6G." If the Pro 4000 has an…

Yeti 1250 - Power not staying on
Hey Team I've had my Yeti 1250 since 2012. I love it and have always cared for it. Recently it has had issues staying on, so I assumed that the battery finally gave up the ghost. It would only stay on when plugged into the wall. The battery reads 11.33 volts. Even when I plugged it into the wall it seemed like I would have…

Yeti 300/500/700 technical questions before buy
After one month on market there are no reviews/tests from the new Yeti somewhere in the web (except Amazon, but it's influencer rigmarole 🙄). Before I buy (if available in the EU) there are some technical questions. Minimal wattage to start solar charging? (very imported) Efficiency of AC? Efficiency of 12 volt and USB?…

Yeti 4000 Pro connected to alternator via lithium start battery
I just installed an Antigravity H6/Group-48 Lithium Car Battery in my truck. Due to the higher resting voltage, my Yeti 4000 pro pulled enough current that the BMS disconnected the battery terminals from the cells. Is it possible to adjust the low voltage threshold for the HP DC Input port? I could not find any information…

Sudden Drop in SOC on Yeti Pro 4000
I have only had this unit for a few days but have already been using it in my van. I updated the firmware the day I set it up to the latest 1.5.8.

Chaining nomad 20 and nomad 50 with Sherpa 100pd previous model
Hi, I know it is possible to chain the Nomad 20 and Nomad 50 panels. But I’m not sure if I can safely connect them with the Sherpa 100 pd (previous model) without damaging it if they are chained. Next by the USB input port on the Sherpa i see the text: in/out 60 Watt. If I chain the panels the max output will be 70 watt( I…

Yeti 300 with Nomad 50
Hello! We're using a Nomad 50 to charge the new Yeti 300. In constant bright sun the best we're able to get is about 20 watts from the panel. That seems really low even with lower efficiency expectations. Let's assume the panel is not the problem - is there something we should be doing on the Yeti 300 to troubleshoot for a…

Yeti 1250 and RV House batteries!!!
hi group!!! I am wondering if any of y’all have married a yeti 1250 to your rv house batteries? Y’see the 1250 if I’m not mistaken uses AGM batteries and accessorizes a big Anderson to battery expander in the rear. So I’m thinking I connect the expanded batteries as the existing house batteries or pull the batteries in the…
