How it Works
Charging Your Goal Zero Yeti
CHARGE ME NOW: Before using or storing, plug your Goal Zero Yeti into the wall
until it is fully charged. Keep your Goal Zero Yeti plugged in when not in use
to ensure it is always ready. This will NOT cause harm to your battery. For
more tips and tricks on keeping your battery healthy, see the BATTERIES 101
section.
When charging your Goal Zero Yeti, you will notice a battery segment blinking
in the display. This indicates the current charge status. Once your Goal Zero
Yeti is fully charged, all battery segments will be lit and remain solid. As
long as there is more power going into the Goal Zero Yeti than is being
pulled from the output ports, the display will also indicate the time until
fully charged. This is an estimated time based on the power input and output
numbers at that moment; it will gradually adjust to a shorter or longer time
as the average charge or discharge rates fluctuate.
Charging from the Wall
Using the included 230W AC Wall Charger, plug your Goal Zero Yeti into any wall outlet. You will know the Goal Zero Yeti is charging when the blue LED light next to the INPUT port turns on, and battery segments in the BATTERY DISPLAY are blinking. The Goal Zero Yeti is fully charged when all battery segments stop blinking and remain solid. The Goal Zero Yeti should recharge from the wall in about 14 hours.
- The AC wall adapter comes in two pieces. Connect the two pieces by plugging the cable into the box.
- The 230W AC Wall Charger can be plugged into the front of the Yeti.
- You can only use one wall charger at a time. If you want to charge your Yeti faster, call our solutions center or look at our fast charge options on goalzero.com.
NOTE: To charge from your 12V output in your vehicle, use our 12V Car Charging Cable SKU 98079.
**Charging from Solar
**
IMPORTANT NOTE: When solar recharging your Goal Zero Yeti Lithium, take
note of the voltages of the solar panels and do not exceed 50V. Individual
solar panels or solar panels chained in series in excess of 50V cannot be used
with the Goal Zero Yeti Lithium and can cause serious damage to the unit. For
help chaining solar panels, call our Customer Solutions Center
at888-794-6250.
There are three different inputs you can use when charging your Goal Zero Yeti from solar, two of which are located in the “INPUT” area on the left side of the Goal Zero Yeti faceplate and a third one located inside the storage compartment under the top lid. One of the front ports and the port inside the storage compartment are round 8mm ports designed to be used with Goal Zero Solar Panels or a wall charger. Each 8mm input port can handle up to 120W. The High Power Port is designed to be used with larger or higher power solar panels and can handle 600W of power, which is the total capacity for power across all input ports.
- Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible.
- Insert the blue-ringed solar panel plug into one of the INPUT ports, either on the front of the Goal Zero Yeti or in the storage compartment under the top lid. You will know the Goal Zero Yeti is charging when the blue LED light next to the INPUT port lights up, and the battery segments in the BATTERY DISPLAY are blinking. The Goal Zero Yeti is fully charged when all battery segments stop blinking and remain solid.
- You can also connect the Goal Zero Yeti to solar panels using the Anderson PowerPole port and the appropriate adapter (if necessary), next to the 8mm charging port.
- You can chain multiple Goal ZeroSolar Panels together to reduce solar recharge times. Your Goal ZeroYeti is capable of taking in 120W of input through the 8mm ports and no more than 600W of solar through the HPP port.
NOTE: If you are inputting from solar panels into multiple ports you can only combine inputs if the panels being used are the same voltage. Panels that output different voltages will not be able to combine through different ports. If you are using panels with different voltages into two or more of the input ports, the Yeti will select the single highest solar input available. Also, solar and AC inputs will not be able to be combined. If you are inputting from both a solar panel and a wall outlet the Yeti will select the higher of the two inputs.
Using your Goal Zero Yeti
How to use your Goal Zero Yeti:
- Press the power button located above each port you will be using. **When not using certain ports, make sure to turn them off to conserve power.
- You’ll know the port is turned on when the white LED light on the button is illuminated.
- Plugin your gear for power anywhere life takes you.
- If possible, keep your Goal Zero Yeti plugged into a power source when not in use.
- You can charge your Goal Zero Yeti, and run your gear at the same time.
Best-Use Strategy:
When charging gear with your Goal Zero Yeti, take note of the BATTERY DISPLAY.
If you plug in devices that have a high power requirement (a large
refrigerator), the charge level of your Goal Zero Yeti can drop very quickly
and you may not get exactly 3000Wh of capacity. Also, especially when using
the AC power output, the Goal Zero Yeti will be converting the energy from the
DC power of the battery to the AC power needed by your device. Although your
Goal Zero Yeti has a highly efficient inverter, there is still some energy
lost in the conversion and you will not get the full rated capacity of the
battery. If you’re experiencing shorter runtimes, you may want to check the
device’s power requirements, see TROUBLESHOOTING for help.
Cold Weather Usage:
Cold temperatures (below freezing) can impact the Goal Zero Yeti’s battery
capacity. If you’ll be out living off-grid in sub-zero conditions, we
recommend keeping your Goal Zero Yeti in an insulated cooler, connected to a
power source (solar panels), and charging your gear. The natural heat
generated by the Goal Zero Yeti contained in an insulated cooler will keep
battery capacity at its highest. The Yeti will not allow charging below
freezing for safety reasons. The unit will warn show a warning on the LCD as
you approach this temperature
LCD Display
The built-in LCD display indicates four important things:
- INPUT shows the amount of power (watts) going into the Goal Zero Yeti while charging. If charging from solar, you’ll see the watts change as you reposition the panels into/out of the sunlight.
- OUTPUT shows the amount of power (watts) your devices are using while plugged into the Goal Zero Yeti.
- TIME TO EMPTY/FULL shows the amount of time before your Goal Zero Yeti is completely charged or empty, depending on if the net amount of power going into the Goal Zero Yeti is positive or negative.
- BATTERY LEVEL shows 5 segments, approximating 20% – 40% – 60% – 80% -100% capacity. As you use your Goal Zero Yeti, segments will disappear from the display, indicating the remaining charge. When charging your Goal Zero Yeti you will notice a battery segment blinking. This indicates the current charge status. Once your Goal Zero Yeti is fully charged, all battery segments will be lit and remain solid. As long as there is more power going into the Goal Zero Yeti than is being pulled from the output ports, the display will also indicate the time until fully charged. This is an estimated time based on the power input and output numbers at that time; it will adjust to a shorter or longer time if the charge or discharge rates fluctuate. Note that when you first plug in a power source, whether it’s a solar panel or a wall charger, the Yeti may take a minute to detect and adjust its charge circuitry before it starts drawing power from the source.
- The WiFi symbol indicates the Yeti’s WiFi is turned on. If flashing, the Yeti is ready to connect to a device.
Front Buttons:
Pressing the LIGHT button will turn the display backlight on and off. Pressing
the UNIT button will scroll through different output and power consumption
settings. Hold units + info to perform a factory reset. this deletes wifi
information and configurations. Hold units to reset the watt-hour counter.
Pressing the INFO button will alternate the screen between showing the
detailed battery state of charge percentage and the Time to Empty/Full.
Storage and Downtime Maintenance
Having your Goal Zero Yeti connected to a power source, like a solar panel or
wall plug, between adventures or while in storage keeps its battery healthy
and topped off. This prolongs battery life and will ensure your Goal Zero Yeti
is charged and ready to go all day, every day.
If you can’t keep your Goal Zero Yeti plugged into a power source during
storage, fully charge your Goal Zero Yeti every 3-6 months and store it in a
cool, dry place. If the Yeti has not been used for several months, it may
require several charge cycles to restore accurate results on the battery
percent and time remaining values on the screen. Failure to maintain your Goal
Zero Yeti by following these steps can result in battery damage which will
void the product warranty.

How do I reset my unit?
If you are experiencing issues the first step is the try a reset of your unit.
To perform a reset, press and hold the info and units buttons at the same time
for 5 seconds. You will see the screen flash off and then come back on after a
successful reset. See if this resolved the issue you are experiencing.
My yeti is not responding or is exhibiting odd behavior what should I do?
Try resetting the unit by holding the Units and Info button for 3 seconds to
reset your Yeti. Check your Yeti to see if the issue is resolved after the
reset.
My new Yeti does not initially charge to 100%, it only charges to 95%
what’s going on?
Cycle the battery a few times and the issue should resolve itself as the yeti
dials in its charge parameters.
Are there faster ways to recharge my Yeti?
Yes, check out our full list of charging options at Goalzero.com. Here we have
options for fast charging as well as vehicle integration. There is a new
version of Firmware available and I want to update my Yeti how do I do this?

instructions there for an update to your Yeti.
During the update process, my Yeti is stuck in a loop and keeps trying to
update over and over unsuccessfully. How do I fix this?
Try resetting the Yeti following the instructions from Q1 and restarting the
update process. This should fix the issue.
What do the snowflake icon and the thermometer icon mean?
If your yeti displays the thermometer icon and a warning of HOT or COLD, this
means you are either approaching or have exceeded the temperature thresholds
of the Yeti. A warning of “cold” means you will need to warm the yeti in order
to resume full functionality while “hot” means you need to cool the unit.
have my Yeti connected to a charger but it is at 98% and not charging, what
is going on? In order to get the most life out of your battery, we make sure
to not stress the battery pack at the full state of charge. The battery will
charge to 100% and then stop, selfdischarge over time to 98% before the
charge will engage again. If you are wanting to make sure your Yeti is
completely topped off for upcoming use, unplugging and then re-plugging in
your input cable should reengage the input and start the charge again

Can I use my 3rd party panels with my Yeti Yes, you can, so long as you
stay under 50V? If using multiple 3rd party panels, be careful! Chaining 3rd
party panels together can be dangerous if done in the wrong way so visit our
website
www.goalzero.com/serissparallel to
learn how to safely combine panels.
Can I chain multiple-goal zero panels into a Yeti X? Yes, our panels are
designed to be safely chained together out of the box and eliminate the risks
associated with 3rd party panels.
Can I charge my Yeti and my devices simultaneously? Yes, you can use your
devices and charge you’re Yeti at the same time.
My yeti is not responding or is exhibiting odd behavior what should I do?
Your Goal Zero Yeti uses custom-designed Lithium-Ion. Here are some basic
facts about Lithium-Ion batteries:
- Lithium-Ion batteries can store and release a lot of energy in a short period of time. The batteries in your Goal Zero Yeti are in a protective enclosure with sophisticated battery management and protection system controlling its terminals to the outside world.
- It is critical that your battery does not get wet as moisture and water can get into the battery cells behind the protection circuitry and bypass that protection.
How do I know if my Goal Zero Yeti is charged?
To check the charge level of your Goal Zero Yeti, refer to the Battery
Display. When lit up, you’ll see a battery outline with 5 segments,
indicating the current charge level. It is OK to use your Goal Zero Yeti even
when it’s not fully charged.
How do I know if my device will work with the Goal Zero Yeti?
First, you’ll need to determine the amount of power your device requires. This may require some research on your end, a good internet search or examining the user guide for your device should suffice. Second, you will need to check the capacity for the individual output ports. For example, the Goal Zero Yeti’s AC port is powered by an inverter that allows for 2000W of power. This means if your device is pulling more than 2000W for an extended period of time, the Goal Zero Yeti’s inverter will shut off. Another number to watch for is the surge rating of your device as compared to that of the port. The Goal Zero Yeti inverter has an advanced surge management system that will maximize its compatibility with various devices, but there will still be items that will surge at a higher rate, and for a longer time, than the Goal Zero Yeti can manage, in which case the port will turn itself off. Finally, once you know your device is compatible, you’ll want to determine how long you’ll be able to power your gear from the Goal Zero Yeti. Here’s a quick and dirty lesson in power. All GOAL ZERO Power Banks and Portable Power Stations have a number in their name, ex. Guide10 Plus recharger, Goal Zero Yeti 1500X. These numbers refer to the Watt Hours (Wh), or the amount of energy that can be stored in each recharger, and how you’ll know if your gear is compatible with each recharger. For example, a 200Wh power station should run a 100W light for 2 hours (200/100=2). If your gear falls within the 1500Wh capacity of the Goal Zero Yeti, you’ll want to check the restrictions on each of the output ports. Finally, once you know your device is compatible, you’ll want to determine how long you’ll be able to power your gear from the Goal Zero Yeti. Here’s a quick and dirty lesson in power. All GOAL ZERO Power Banks and Portable Power Stations have a number in their name, ex. Guide10 Plus recharger, Goal Zero Yeti 1500X.

If your gear falls within the 1500Wh capacity of the Goal Zero Yeti, you’ll want to check the restrictions on each of the output ports.
Another factor in the math is how much power is being converted going from the Goal Zero Yeti battery to the device you are powering/charging. In some situations, like when running a 12V device, such as the LAL 350, directly off the 12V port, there will be minimal conversion and thus very little additional losses. In using the USB ports to charge a phone, you add a layer of conversion (12V battery in the Goal Zero Yeti is being converted to a 5V USB output), which introduces around 10% of losses. When using the inverter, there are two layers of conversion (12V to high voltage, DC to AC). The least efficient way of using the battery in the Goal Zero Yeti is to use an AC-DC adapter off the AC ports, as is the case if you use a phone wall charger to charge your phone, as it adds yet another layer of conversion in the wall adapter. So when you’re deciding on what to power from your new GOAL ZERO recharger, do some research into your device’s watt consumption.

Education
BATTERIES 101: GOAL ZERO utilizes the latest and greatest in battery
technology to accompany you on all life’s adventures. From the versatile and
lightweight Lithium-Ion to the robust and powerful Lead Acid, we’ve compiled
some helpful tips to keep your GOAL ZERO batteries working their best.
i. Batteries need exercise. The best thing for any battery is to use it.
Don’t leave the battery sitting without being charged for extended periods of
time. If you will be storing the Goal Zero Yeti without a charger, make sure
it’s fully charged before you put it away.
ii. The “Battery Memory” myth. Thanks to old Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd)
batteries, there’s a myth running around that you should completely drain your
batteries before plugging them in for a recharge, called “deep cycling”.
Although true with NiCd batteries, the typical batteries you’ll find in most
of your gear today, including the advanced lithium and lead-acid batteries
used in your GOAL ZERO rechargers, require no such draining. In fact, you
should avoid deep cycling your batteries – it does more harm than good in most
cases.
iii. The “Stadium Effect”.
The stadium effect occurs when recharging your batteries. You’ll notice your
battery quickly filling up in the beginning, then slowing down noticeably when
trying to charge up the last several percentages. Think of how quickly a
stadium fills up when the doors first open – there are hundreds of open seats
so it’s easy to find the one you want. Eventually, there are only a few open
seats here and there and people have to maneuver around to find the spot they
want, and filling those seats takes longer. The same theory applies to
recharging batteries. It’s easy for energy to flow in and take up empty space
in the beginning, and as time goes on and there is less space available, it
takes longer for the energy to fill in the holes.
iv. Read the manual. Yeah, it might be a long read, but the manual is the
best place to find the dos and don’ts for the battery in your specific device.
Reading your manual will ensure you’re taking steps to keep your batteries
happy and healthy.
SOLAR 101 : GOAL ZERO makes it easy to recharge your gear from the sun –
we didn’t invent solar power, we perfected it. Some things to keep in mind
when recharging your gear with solar power:
i. Solar panels don’t store power from the sun, they collect it.
We teach you to COLLECT – STORE – USE, which is the best way to utilize solar
power to recharge your gear. COLLECT the sun’s energy with a solar panel.
STORE the power in a recharger. USE the recharger to power your gear, day or
night. If you’re really a diehard, you can plug your gear directly into the
junction box located on the back of our NOMAD Solar Panels to recharge from
the sun.
ii. Not all solar charge times are created equal.
Most solar panel manufacturers calculate their recharge times with the
following equation: Device Watt Hours/Solar Panel Watts = Solar Recharge
Times. So theoretically, a 13-watt solar panel would recharge a 50 watt-hour
recharger in 3.84 hours (50/13 = 3.84) – and this is the number you could find
in marketing material for a solar panel. However, in order to standardize
results across all manufacturers, these tests are completed in laboratory
settings. The truth is, on a good, sunny day, you’ll receive about 50-75% of
your solar panel’s rated wattage, and this is how the engineers at GOAL ZERO
calculate the solar recharge times you see on our packaging.
iii. Solar works, even in overcast conditions. Solar panels utilize IR,
UV, and visible rays from the sun that can penetrate through clouds. Although
the efficiency of the solar panel will decrease in cloudy conditions, you’ll
still be collecting valuable power from the sun. iv. Keep away from shade
and windows. Although you should seek out shade on sunny days, your solar
panels will collect more power when fully exposed to the sunlight. Windows
also have a habit of decreasing efficiency. So keep those panels outside and
in the bright sunlight.
v. Proper alignment works wonders. Keeping your solar panel angled toward
the sun can dramatically increase solar efficiency. Set it up and let Mother
Nature do the rest.

to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
To obtain warranty service, you must contact our customer service team via
telephone at (888) 794- 6250, or via email at
support@goalzero.com If our customer service
team determines that this is a warranty matter, they will give you a Return
Material Authorization (“RMA”) number. You must properly package the product,
clearly marking the RMA number on the package and including proof of your
purchase date with the product. You must then send the product by mail or
courier, with shipping costs paid by you, to GOAL ZERO at 675 West 14600

repaired or replacement product to you at our expense for a product being
shipped to locations in North America. For products purchased or being shipped
outside of North America, please contact the local distributor from whom you
purchased the product, or email
support@goalzero.com to obtain further
