Yeti 200X charged on car 12v at 10A
Hi I've charged my Yeti 200X using the car accessory on 12v at 10A mode instead of 5A. So far it worked well getting 120W estimated charge rate like the 120w wall charger. Am I lucky it didn't fried the unit yet or did it self limit power being pumped by itself ? thanks

Yeti 1000 drains when outputs are on but nothing connected.
I have Yeti 1000 Lithium, and I noticed when I leave the outputs (12V, 120V, USB) turned on with nothing actually connected, the battery still drains rather quickly. I didn't record the specific rate but it's about 10% per day. Is that normal? I haven't taken the time to determine which output specifically. I generally…

Can I use more watts of input power than my device is rated for?
Yes! As long as the input source is within the acceptable Voltage range, all Goal Zero Power Stations, Power Banks, and Lights will only use the watts they need. This means you can connect a Boulder 100 to the 8mm input port of a Sherpa 100AC and the Sherpa will only take in up to its max input of 50W. You could also…

Yeti 200x - first charge
Hi, I just bought a Yeti 200x. According to the guidelines the display should show 100 when fully charged.

To chain two or three Boulder 50 Solar Panels together, plug the blue ringed 8mm connector from one panel into the input connector or input port of the next panel, using the charging cable from the final panel to connect to your Goal Zero Yeti or Sherpa.
