Can 4 kWh Haven Home Backup Kit support 240v well pump?
I'm looking at getting the 4 kWh Haven Home Backup Kit however my primary reason for this is so power our well pump which uses a 240v (2 breakers) on our existing panel.

AC port has no power
Hi! Bought a 3rd hand van with a Yeti 3000X (no receipt or warranty). Worked a charm the last 6 months but suddenly the AC outlet has no power. I've tried all the resets to no avail. There are no errors or loud beeps, the only thing I have noticed which may or may not be new is when I press the AC button above the port…

Solar Passthrough on the Yeti Pro 4000

I have solar going into the unit. If I put an AC load it will pull from the battery despite there being adequate solar that could passthrough to power…

8mm plug sticking and resulting hack
I just had a warranty replacement on a boulder 100w suitcase that wasn’t working right. My suspicion (not confirmed) was the cord at the 8mm plug. I was never able to separate the plugs with reasonable force and several times had to resort to pulling apart by the cords, I suspect this degraded the wires. Maybe it was the…

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…

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…
