Venture 70
I have a venture 70 that is probably getting close to end of life at 5 or 6 years old. It was taking longer to re-charge, and most recently it would not charge over 40%. After a soft reset and then a factory reset/storage mode, it appears to be charging normally again and has just the final flashing led left until full. Is…

Connect 2 Yeti’s together To solar charge both
Can I do the following: Run my 4 boulder 100’s into my Yeti 1500x to charge it and also run a high power cable out of the 1500x and into my 1000X to charge it at the same time.

Nomad 20 as charge maintainer
Is there anyway to use a Nomad 20 to maintain my lead acid boat batteries.

Charging a 1500x From a DC-DC Converter
I tried to charge my 1500x with an Orion DC-DC converter. It's the 12->24volt 15amp smart non-isolated model. I am connecting the output of the converter to the Anderson Powerpole input on the 1500x. I believe what's happening is the MPPT function of the 1500x is lower its impedance (as MPPTs do) to find the power sweet…

I have a refrigerator in our suv I want to run off the 1000 yetti.
I plug the refrigerator into the yetti. I plug the yetti directly into the suv 12v battery (fused of course). I also (when stopped for a while) plug the yetti into a 120v supply. Is all this OK to do? what will the Yetti do when supply comes from two different sources ?
