Escape Drivable Kit HPP+ Connector
Hey folks…. I installed a GZ Yeti Pro 4000 in my van build — and used the Escape Drivable Kit to connect the 30A Anderson to the 12V circuit of the van, and the HPP+ to the rooftop solar. The connectors provided in the kit with the pigtails have 90deg connectors - so when plugged in to the back of the Yeti, the wires are…

What Percentage Of Power Is Optimal For Recharging Yeti 1000X
I bought a Yeti 1000X to keep my desktop computer permanently hooked to it due to frequent power outages. This is my first unit and I'm new to using power supplies.

Product idea(s)
Just bought my first two Light a Lifes and had this idea pop in my head: Light A Life, but with an integrated PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, so that walking near the device triggers it "on" -- aka turns it into an inexpensive motion sensor + flood light. Perhaps it also has a "nightlight" setting where it starts out on a…

Yeti 1250 30Amp Output?
We have a whole home Generac system, but there are times we really don't want to run it at night, or even all day unless it's extremely hot or cold.

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…

Strange smell 500x
Hello My unit has quite strange smell - since the unboxing. I thought it’s going to go away over time - but after many uses, it’s still little bit stinky. It’s hard to define exactly, but it’s similar to maybe sulfur (no as stronh though). Did You experience the same? Is it normal?

Yeti 3000X seems dead, screen flashes when "charging" from USB
We bought a van that came with a Yeti 3000X. It worked well for a few weeks and powered an overnight trip. When we came home it sat for a bit under trees so the battery slowly dropped to about 20%. We realized we needed to charge it so ordered the 600W AC charger. By the time that arrived and I plugged it in, it was at 4%…
