Sherpa 100AC (4th Gen) USB-C port problems
The device has mostly been good for months, but today I ran into a strange issue. The bottom USB-C port would only charge at 18-20W, and the top port wasn't working at all. I reset the power bank by holding the USB button, as well as USB + AC. Now the top port will charge at the full 60W, but the bottom port isn't working…

Yeti 1000X or 700?
I have an older Yeti 400 AGM which has served me well for years, replaced the battery and to this day, it's still going strong. I would like to upgrade and have narrowed my choices down to either the Yeti 1000X or the new Yeti 700. Now I understand the differences between the two, different battery chemistries, different…

Is there an adaptor to connect a Yeti 6000 to an existing transfer switch?
My house has a standard 6-circuit transfer switch already wired into our breaker box. I usually plug in my Honda 3000 generator when we lose power, which happens several times a year for 2 - 5 days. I believe it connects to the generator with a 20-amp, standard 4-pin plug. See picture. Is there an adapter that I can use to…

Light a Life 350 Not Working
One of my my light-a-life 350 suddenly stopped working. The other one purchased at the same time is still working fine. Can I purchase a replacement light for the 350 or is the problem likely related to the circuit board inside?

Is it possible to charge a Yeti 3000 from a bike generator (an alternator powered by a bike)?
OK, first off, I COMPLETELY understand that charging a Yeti power station from a bike will take FOREVER and that it's really inefficient and all of that. This is not about the speed and efficiency of charging my power station. This is about motivating me to ride the bike trainer more. If I knew that the energy that I was…

How to Wire a Cargo Trailer Conversion to Integrate with Yeti 1500x/PRO 4000
I have a cargo trailer that I am converting into a toy hauler and am thinking of going with the Yeti 1500x (for now and may upgrade to the PRO 4000 later) as the power solution as it is seemingly more versatile than separate batteries/inverter/etc as I can pull the until and use as home backup generator. My questions: How…

Is it possible to use an automatic transfer switch with Yeti home backup battery system?

Nomad 20 low power outputs
Hello I have had the Nomad 20 for almost 2 years and it hardly produces any power anymore. I plug it in to charge my yeti 200x via the 8mm port or to charge the Sherpa 100ac via 8mm port. In direct sunlight, the panel barely gives 4 W. I also measured the USB output power and it comes out to just 1 amp. I also have a…

Can the Tank Pro 4000 sit side by side with the Yeti Pro 4000?
All of the illustrations show the Yeti Pro 4000 being stacked on top of the Tank Pro 4000. Is the cord long enough to reach if they are instead put side by side? I ask because in the space I intend to put them (in a van) I have more horizontal than vertical space available, and would prefer to orient them that way.…

Fan noise 500?
I've had two 1500's plugged in for for well over a year and I've never heard a peep from them. Just got a 500 and I hear what has to be a fan kick on fairly regularly. They are all stored in a cool basement area, so there's no difference in temperature or heat to speak of. No lights on the panel indicating something wrong…

Why doesn't the Nomad 100 have a kickstand?
In looking for a good 100W foldable solar panel, I looked at the Nomad 100, but was disappointed to learn that it doesn't have a kickstand. Every other 100W foldable panel does, so why doesn't Goal Zero? Even though I'm heavily invested in GZ, this was a deal breaker for me. I'll now be looking for a model from a…

New LPF Products in 1000-2000 Watt Hour Range?
Will Goal Zero be coming out with a 1000-2000 watt hour LFP unit soon? Goal Zero currently does not list LFP units in the 1000-2000 watt hour range. I will be picking up a new LFP unit in the next few weeks before heading out van camping (Spring thru late Fall). I currently own a Goal Zero 1500X (and like it) but will be…

How Should I compare/contrast the new Flex 100i and the Boulder 100i?
I want to install a solar panel on my Sprinter Van. I have a Yeti 1500X inside and the van is pre-wired to the roof for solar panels. I had planned to install a cross bar and mount a Boulder 100i but the new Flex might make my job easier. My concern is that, despite the specs looking the same, the flex may not be as…

Toxic Burning Smell Coming From my Yeti 3000X
Came home today and opened the garage where my Yeti 3000X is plugged in. There was a very strong toxic burning smell. The smell was emanating from the Yeti. I unplugged the Yeti, opened my garage doors and turned a fan on to help disperse the odor. Unfortunately, the smell seeped into my house and hopefully didn’t…

Can you hook up two remote displays?
Wondering if you can daisy chain two of the remote displays? So I can have one in my camper, and one in the cab of my truck? Seeing as there are two RJ45 ports on the display, I thought this might be the intention for those.
