Charging Yeti 1000x from AC while in use -- gradually draining battery
I have set up a new 1000x and tested charging from solar panels, which works well (although with 3 Boulder 200s in full sunlight I wish I was seeing something closer to 600W than to 300W incoming). When not using solar panels to run the selected items (mostly internet routers / switches) I want to plug the 1000x into its…

Length of charge cable NOMAD 10
I have a NOMAD 10 solar panel which I intend to use in a long term project. (DSLR 1 year timelapse) I'm now considering what length&cable type to use. Will a shorter cable provide greater efficiency or will a 1meter cable perform the same as a 30cm one?

Am I able to connect both a power outlet and solar to the two 8mm ports at the same time on a 1000x?
Say there is an electrical outage, could the battery fall back to relying on the solar connection on the other 8mm port for charging? Or do I need to manually switch these if a power outage occurs?

500X and Panels
Hi I just bought the Yeti 500X and now I need a solar panel. Can I use the BOULDER200 BRIEFCASE, because in the specs of the 500X it says Charging port (input, 8mm): 13-22V, up to 10A (150W max)? The Boulder has 200W output. Can I even use more than 1 Panel? thanks

Trouble charging with 230W power supply for 1500X
Hi. I just upgraded to a 230W Power supply (from 120W). It is not giving me a full charge. Two days in a row I left the power station charging overnight; when I checked it in the morning it was filled to 34% and no longer charging. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

Hi! I am trying to wire LED strip lights from the 6mm adapter. My plan was to use this ring terminal adapter to go to a LED controller. The picture on the site looks like each is labelled yellow. How would you tell which is red and which is black? Thanks!

Do GoalZero solar panels have any EMP vulnerabilities by themselves?
I have Boulder 200 briefcase panels but I suspect my question applies to all the panels you sell. Do the solar panels have any discrete circuitry that could be damaged by an EMP event? Or are the junction boxes on the back of the panels just that -- junctions without any logic cards or other items sensitive to EMPs? Mainly…

Yeti Home Integration Kit transfer switch
Why is the Yeti Home Integration Kit transfer switch not feasible for an external breaker box? It seems to me that the transfer switch could be on the inside wall opposite of the external breaker box and the wires could go through the wall.

DC output on Yeti 1400
Hi folks! I got my Yeti 1400 and Boulder 200 W Solar panel to supply power for me at Burning Man in 2019. It worked great and has been sitting on the charging bench since then except on an extended blackout in my neighborhood where it worked great. Going back to Burning Man this year and bought a new Newair 12 V Dual zone…

Good morning, I recently bought the 3000x and home integration kit. In the website pics, it shows a cover that surrounds the breaker box for a clean flush install. Are those available somewhere? I haven't had luck finding one yet. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

YetiLink Current Draw
I have a 1500x that I am planning on adding a YetiLink Vehicle Integration Kit. The 12ft EC8 male-female cable that it comes with is too short to extend directly to my car's battery. What size wire gauge do I need? I have about a 20ft run where the 1500x is located.

Yeti 1000X Wifi buttons?
Hello, I see past posts mention that there are buttons for pairing with the Yeti app. I have a 1000X and do not see those buttons. I also don't see it mentioned in the manual. Was pairing with the app removed or just not available with the 1000X? Thanks!

How many expansion tanks...
can I add to my Yeti 3000x? I currently have two. I thought I'd read in one of the User Guides that's the maximum but then I also read there is no limit. You also answered my other question, I'm purchasing the 30A charge controller kit. If it can connect up to 440W, then I can add two Boulder Suitcases to it, correct? It's…

What size is the 8mm input cable?
I need to buy some cable housing for routing my solar cables inside my van but I can't tell how big the cables are. I'm assuming the 8mm refers to the male/female input/output so what size is the cable itself? Cheers! (I don't have the panel or cable yet which is why I'm asking)

Connecting Yeti 1500x to 12v distribution block
Hi, I'm trying to connect the high power 12v output on my Yeti to a distribution/fuse block for a couple of appliances in my van. How would I do that? The only way I see is to take one of the high power cables, cut an end off and attach ring connectors to the wire then to the block. Is there a better way? Thanks.

Boulder 100bc not sending a charge.
I’ve got a relatively new Boulder 100 that I keep connected to my yeti 1500 regularly. It has been sending ample signal for about six months now. All of a sudden it’s not sending any charge to the battery. The input light will surge to 10 or 15 and then go back to zero for a while. It doesn’t work on either of the input…

Can you feed 600 watts into the APP and also 120 watts into each of the 6mm plug ports at the same time? Or, is that too much and you can only feed 600…
