Chaining GZ Solar Panels
I recently purchased a Yeti 1500 with a Boulder 100 Briefcase panel, and a Yeti 200 with a Nomad 20 panel. I already own a Nomad 20 panel and a Torch 500. I expected the Boulder 100 Briefcase (B100B) panel to collect less than 100 Watts at my Midatlantic home. On a recent sunny day it peaked around 82 Watts based on the…

Used Solar Panel

I can't find any information on what would be recommended battery settings for charging a set of (6) Yeti Tanks from solar panels with a "Victron MPPT 100 | 30", i.e. the offical "30-Amp External MPPT" set offered by Goal Zero, in order to avoid over and under charging for extending battery life. I understand that the Tank…

3000x first charge
The very first words in the User's Guide are 'Before using or storing, plug your Goal Zero Yeti into the wall until it is fully charged'. Why? What happens if I try to use solar panels to charge it first? What happens if I charge it half way on the wall and then the rest with the panels? After the initial charging do I…

Had to perform a hard reset due to 1500X freezing up for some reason. Reconnected to app, updated firmware (version 1.8.0) and everything seems to work fine, however the 1500X beeps once every 15-30 minutes. I repeated the reset twice and no change... what is happening?

The first use was to plug the unit into the entire camper system at the outside plug,…
