PRO 4000 low power shut-off / automatic shut-on capability
Does the PRO 4000 have this functionality? Our set-up is at a remote cabin where we do not live full time. If we have several cloudy days then solar input can't keep up and the low power shut off engages and shuts down our wifi router. On our old yeti 3000 power (and wifi) would automatically be restored once the solar…

1500X USB-C PD 60W not outputting power
I have a brand new Yeti 1500X. I've tried to charge my MacBook Pro but no power goes to the computer. Then I tried to charge my iPad Pro and got the same result--no power from the USB PD 60W port to the iPad. What am I doing wrong? Or do I have a defective 1500X?

Yeti Link update to firmware 1.8.4 LED flashes Red
I have a unique setup where I use the alternator to charge an isolated AGM battery in my Transit Van. This battery is then connected to the 6000x with the Yeti Link in Tank mode. Since the latest update, I am now having the 4 LED lights on the Yeti Link flash red. This started to happen after the firmware update to 1.8.4…

Link module flashes alternatively green and then red
I have a 3000X with latest firmware (1.8.8) and it is behaving a bit strangely when the external tanks are recharging it. When the recharging first begins the tanks (Qty 2) appear to be delivering over 700 watts to the 3000X. However, after a couple minutes, perhaps, the charging level drops to a little over 200 watts as…

Yeti Tank Batteries Draining
Hi, I have a yeti 3,000 connected to three tank batteries. Love the system, however when I leave the tanks plugged into the Yeti through the module, there seems to be some significant parasitic drain on the tanks. When not plugged into the yeti, the yeti and the tanks stay full much longer. There are no loads plugged into…

Purchased a used Yeti 150 and I only get 90vac out of theAC outlet when measured with a meter.
Unit also shows 80% power and starts charging ok with a flashing "full" and when I plug in the adapter. But if I plug anything into it the display goes dead. I tried changing out the battery which I assume was the original, and will let the new battery charge overnight, but my front panel meter also shows the new battery…

4000 Pro + Tank: Unequal discharge
I've got a 4000 pro installed with a single tank stacked in my Sprinter. I commonly see the tank capacity at 10-20% below the main unit. I would expect the two units to draw equally. Is this normal and expected behavior? When charging on shore power, the two do eventually even out. Thanks.

Inaccurate display of battery remaining percent?
Just acquired a GZ 3000X that was used very little and remained, for the most part apparently, fully charged for a number of months. Now, when I start applying a load to power some things I notice that the unit only very, very slowly starts to decrement the display number for battery % remaining. At the moment the unit…

Charging Goal Zero 500X from 7 pin trailer plug
I've got a 2021 Tacoma with a camper in the bed. I use a Yeti 500X for power which I usually charge with solar. This works great until the clouds roll in for a few days. I spliced together a 7 way blade to 2 pin trailer plug with a 10 foot 14AWG to 8 mm port wire (see picture). I connected the set up from the tow plug…

Can a LiFePo battery be replaced with AGM
Bit odd question to drop from a Li to an AGM however I use my Yeti as an emergency backup power on hospital equipment and so it is plugged in 24/7 so battery safety not weight is the concern I have for 5yrs used a 400 AGM Version like this, but worry about a Li-in being always charging and outputting. As all systems now…

Goal zero yeti 3000 unit glitching around 50% and drops to 0%
Im trying to figure out why my yeti 3000 unit will glitch and go from 50% range to 0% in my camper van.

I immediately plug the unit in to the wall/house power and it starts…

We have a cinder block well house; we have a problem with pipes freezing if we lose power in a storm. The pipes are wrapped with heat tape the activates when temps drop below 41 degrees (the pipes are also insulated). Would also like to run a space heater but I think that is asking too much. Can you leave the power station…

Anyone ever experimented with a 12 volt battery warmer (with cig adapter)? Love my Yeti 6000 in my van but when in the extreme low temps of Wyoming and Idaho the battery shuts down because it gets so cold. Didn't know if there was a good option for a low power 12 volt battery blanket that anyone has been able to find /…

Yeti 400 Turning off
I've had a Yeti 400, lead acid version, for years. I use it as an emergency back power on a hospital mattress. The bed is always plugged in and so is the charger. Recently it shut off randomly and within 2 days the battery drained despite nothing plugged in. Replaced the battery and it seemed fine, however it is just…

Battery Recycling
I have an old Yeti 50 and 400 that it looks like some of the cells have shorted. The 50 gives about 2 minutes of charge and the 400 isn't much better. I have cycled them a couple of times and the run time hasn't gotten any better. Is there a suggested procedure for recycling these since I believe they are lead acid.

3 point charging on Goal Zero Yeti 6000x
Ideally I would like to connect the Goal Zero (in a van build) with a 3 point charging: - alternator (using yeti link) - solar array (using HPP input) - shore power using the provide power adapter The issue is that both the solar array and the shore power plug in into the only available HPP input (600W max). How do you…

Yeti 500X 60W Pd
When using 60W Pd output, my phone, computer, and tablet will act as if the port just turns on and off. You can see on the Yeti display, the output watage jumps up, then down, then up, then down and so on. I have other 65W and 90W chargers and they work fine on these items, I don't think the 60 W is too mutch. So, I'm not…
