    We have used the kzread.infoUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

    Up front, I'm a Goal Zero user for the last 5 years. I own the Yeti 1250 all the way to down the Flip 10. BUT, each of your products has noticeably decreased is storage life of reserve power, as well as drained reserve power faster, as the months and years progressed. My Yeti 1250 pulls your camps lights, a cell phone, and a small fridge draw at 62 watts (about 90 total watts)....and it will be drained in 12 hours. The first year was great, as I'd have a good 2 days worth of a draw before charging. Now, it's hours. For a $1400 price tag, I want more from my equipment. I'm starting a Sprinter build now, and while the ease of install with Goal Zero is nice, I need it to be reliable for more than a year. So, those interested in these products, take note of life of use expectations...before making the large purchase.

    Hi Peter, Thank you for your comment. We're sorry to hear about the troubles you've experienced with your Yeti 1250. battery life can be affected by multiple things such as how many cycles you put on the battery or how you're maintaining the battery. However, one year before the AGM battery starts to hold less power is a bit strange unless you were using your Yeti 1250 daily and putting many cycles on the battery. If you haven't been using it daily and putting many cycles on the battery we'd suggest contacting our solutions center team at 1-888-794-6250 Monday - Friday from 8am 5pm MST and they can assist you with a replacement AGM battery for your Yeti 1250.

    Peter, I have a similar Goal Zero investment for my shipping container cabin. I also lost power through the years, although I have not used it much. I must say though, I think the product line is rock solid and I probably will use Goal Zero to upgrade to Lithium. The reason being even though there was degradation, it was very usable and consistent in the way it deteriorated (I hate to use that word).

    Goal Zero But who plunks down that kind of cash that isn't a daily user? Isn't your video aimed at daily users? Your brand got into the market early for van lifers who didn't want to figure out the electrical, which is fine; there are additional advantages to a mobile system, but Inergy's got you beat at this point. I'll keep watching your product line and reading reviews because no doubt the competition will compel you to step up, but for now: Nah.

Some guys would give too much technical and involved information, but this was simple and to the point. I would get confused between what to look at: watts or amps. So this was more straightforward. So on a microwave, I presume that I just judge by what the micro says for watts.

It’s charged by 200w of P3 foldable solar panels on the tent, in conjunction with the Goal Zero MPPT ad aptor. Goal Zero makes excellent products, used 6 x Lite-A-Life 350s chained together to light the tent throughout the winter.

    On heater... saw something on a KZread video, home built snowmobile camper was heated with a 250 watt heater.... he was using a new Jackery 1000, with 2 - 100 watt solar panels to fill the power station full before nightfall... The Outsider... is a Jackery fan... I have Goal Zero in several sizes including the Yeti 1500x ... but it did show me some important things... insulation is very important in stretching power for heating.... so I pay more attention now to heater sizes... I also have some GoSun items that I have used with my 1500x, the Fusion solar hybrid cooker... the Chill portable freezer .... I think I could run each with my Yeti 200x... but not with big margins. Was nice to see this vintage video...

    Love the Idea and love the look of the Product as an all in one unit with most camping and offgrid needs. The down side is the UK prices over £1000 for a 100ah unit !! then there is the really slow rechange times via PWM & the MPPT charge controllers. accessories are over priced for what they are. Only a 500 cycle lifespan on a LiPh battery. If you could all those negatives then unit would be Great.

    I didn't need the high power to run 1000w appliances but I did need to power a cPAP machine at my mountain cabin that is off the grid. I have the older model Yeti 400 because I can chain extra batteries to it. It works great, it powers the cPAP and a fan and has a total power of105AH. The cost of the extra two 35AH batteries was $125.00 and the Yeti was under $500.00. LOVE IT and it lets me not run a LP gas generator at night. ALSO A 100W solar panel works great to recharge in day. I can run the cPAP for days on the Yeti.

    The Yeti 500x I use has a faulty USB design connection. I have a 1000 and 500. Love the products. However, the second port from the left USB (not the c-port) has a design issue where some USB adapters will have a loose fit causing it to not work. It works but you have to keep pressure on it upwards to make the connection. This issue was found right out of the box. I hope Goal Zero fixed it.

Small pure sine wave inverter, 300 Bestech. 100W renogy solar panel and maybe one of their compatible chargers with the battery or I use the Buddipole power mini. When I go camping, while it's allowed in the rules for certain hours, I'm not the biggest fan of hearing a generator running for four hours next door between 5pm an 9pm. Very rarely does someone bring one.

    I would recommend that the power needs aren't necessarily "all" or "nothing"; in particular the cooking and heating I would rather use a Mr. Heater (propane gas) and a Gladiator camp stove (also propane gas). Now, this would be for the weekend warrior who is camping for 2-4 days. As for phone charges (for GSP offline trail tracking), USB fans, camp lights (led), then the Yeti would be a good complimentary power source for those types of items. Also, the Harbor Freight air compressor; needed for offroad tire pressure runs off of auto battery, would also be able to blow up air mattresses as well.

    Hi, Great question, there is loss of efficiency when using the AC outputs on the inverter. On a Yeti 1400 it's less than 10% and that's due to the conversion of energy as you know.

Believe it or not there is such a thing as a "hand cranked" blender that does a reasonable job. I have a hand operated food processor for camping & power outtages.

    Why don't you fix the 12 volt receptacle so it doesn't have the raised shoulders, preventing use of the 12 volt cord from a Dometic or ARB cooler? These units have very fat tips on the plug due to the nested fuse, and this center contact will not touch the center pin of the 12 volt receptacle in the Yeti. I worked around it by getting an adapter cable (Anderson port to 12 volt outlet) from PowerWerx. This problem existed from your first Yeti, and looks like it is still a problem with this unit.

    I was thinking the same thing. Most say around 1800 watts but that one was pulling about half that. The blenders were doing the same thing though so it makes it tough to know what the different appliances will actually pull when trying to put a setup together.

    what about solar charging for your Yeti how do you do it

  • @evshrug

    Pretty simple. Hook up a solar panel to the DC Input on the Yeti battery. Some comments from the host in this video make me wonder if the Yeti can manage and deliver Solar and battery power simultaneously, which would be pretty wicked cool. I’d ask GoalZero CS for confirmation. You would want to look into the math, it pays off. Depending on what you use, you may need more panels to top off the battery every day in variable light conditions. A single 100W solar panel might not fully recharge an empty 1400W battery with one day’s sunlight (I haven’t done the math yet, I’m just telling you what to look for). Goal Zero customer support may be able to advise on the formula for solar to battery ratio, though it’s a good idea to look at the amount of power draw your appliances will typically use in a day and get a battery with more storage than that (and enough solar to recharge that in less than a day). Keep in mind the one featured in the video is a lithium battery. Lead Acid batteries are cheaper, but they like to be topped off nightly for best longevity. Lithium batteries are usually easier to maintain, lighter, and store more energy for the same sized box. A full discharge and recharge cycle is much harder on a battery than floating between 40-60%, if you only use some of the capacity at a time the battery will get more recharge cycles and last many more years. Can’t think of other advice off the top of my head. Researching this topic has been fun for me, though I might have to fall back on it during this pandemic if my rent goes up too much on the next lease renewal. Let me know if you have more q’s.

    Just want to add something! Recently discovered LiFePO4 batteries... that’s the chemical abbreviations for Lithium Iron Phosphate (Oxygen 4?). They’re power dense and easy to maintain like Lithium-Ion, however they’re even more durable with 4x as many recharge cycles... these are 10-year batteries you don’t have to worry about.Those are the headline feature of BattleBorn batteries, but a small selection of other companies are starting to make them too. I tried looking for LiFePO4 power stations similar to the Goal Zero products, but so far all I found on Amazon was by a company called Beaudens and Energizer. I think the Energizer Power Station is particularly interesting because it has the Power Delivery USB (PD) for fast, efficient output and recharging that the Beaudens lacks. PD is cool, it will recharge a laptop faster than a wall outlet style A/C jack, not need the “brick,” and take less energy from the battery bank. It also has the MTTP Charging feature that makes solar much more effective, like the Goal Zero. However, it doesn’t have the huge 300W continuous / 1200W (!!!) surge power inverter like the best Goal Zero lithium power station, nor user-replaceable batteries like the GZ Yeti 400. I’m curious if the user could drop in a LiFePO4 battery into the Yeti 400 (or other Yeti) once the factory battery wears out?

    Hi Jeff, Ultimately that depends on how many solar panels you're using and the weather conditions you're under. if you max out the input on the PWM controller at 360 watts you should be able to recharge the Yeti 1400 in about 4-6 hours in sunlight. If you add the MPPT controller module to the Yeti 1400 you can have a max input of 600 watts and it can recharge even faster.

    Your Journey to Sleep Like other people have commented, it's the difference in starting with a 12v power source and then converting it to 'household current' with the inverter. You should use 12v devices as much as possible, your power goes farther. Btw, goal zero gear costs more and has fewer ports and functions and is heavier than the Inergy Kodiak, which has a sweet 3k now. I don't work for the or anything, but it is on my wish list.

    I think it's a case of needing the proper power cord. Apparently, Dometic and Goal Zero use different plugs on their 12 V power cords. If you are handy with electrical things, you could probably build your own power cords and/or connection adapters to do the job. Powering the fridge via a 110 V to 12 V adapter is going to waste power.

  • @goalzero

    @goalzero

    5 жыл бұрын

    Hi, great question, when using the blanket we were getting a 75 watt draw to power it. At that wattage rating we could run that blanket for roughly 18-19 hours. Keep in mind that your particular heated blanket may be rated differently and could run longer or less depending on it's power draw and if it requires a 110V plug or can run off of 12V. So check out the tech specs of your blanket to see how long it will run for.

  • @goalzero

    @goalzero

    6 жыл бұрын

    Hi Alvara, Great question. So everything will ultimately depend on the power draw of your heater or air conditioner. So let's say for example your heater required 1500 watts to run, that would mean that every hour your heater would drain the battery by 1500 watts. So if we took our Yeti 3000 lithium power station that stores 3000 watts of power that would only be able to run that heater for 2 hours before it would drain the Yeti to empty. So even having a larger Yeti that was 2000 or 3000 watts wouldn't make it run all night and still be a heavy power draw.
