Charging from the Wall
Using the included AC Wall Charger, plug your YETI into any wall outlet. You
will know the Yeti is charging when the green LED light next to the INPUT
port turns on, and battery segments in the BATTERY DISPLAY are blinking.
The YETI is fully charged when all battery segments stop blinking and
remain solid. The YETI should recharge from the wall in about 18 hours.
1. The AC wall charger comes in two
pieces. Connect the two pieces by
plugging the cable into the box
Charging from your Car
Although not recommended because of slow charge times, you can charge
your YETI from any 12V source, like your car. To charge your YETI from a car
or 12V source, you will need to purchase an 8.0 mm to 12V charger from
GOALZERO.com. Call our Customer Solutions Center at 1-888-794-6250
for help identifying the charger.
* Full-size refrigerator runtimes from the Yeti 1250 are dependent on
several factors, including the year, make and model of your refrigerator,
as well as its volume, fullness and usage. We actively test a variety of
refrigerators to determine an average runtime. For the longest runtimes and
to optimize performance, we suggest limiting the opening and closing of
refrigerator doors when powering from the Yeti 1250.
CHARGE ME NOW: Before using or storing, plug your YETI into the wall until it is
fully charged. Keep your YETI plugged in when not in use. For more tips and tricks
on keeping your battery healthy, see the BATTERY 101 section.
LCD Battery Display: The LCD Battery Display indicates the charge level of your
YETI. There are 5 segments to the battery, approximating 20% - 40% - 60%
- 80% -100% capacity. As you use your YETI, segments will disappear from
the display, indicating the remaining charge. When charging your YETI you will notice
a battery segment blinking at a 1 second interval. This indicates the current charge
status. Once your YETI is fully charged, all battery segments will be lit and remain solid.
Charging from Solar
There are three different inputs you can use when charging your YETI
from solar, all located in the “INPUT” area in the top left corner of the YETI
faceplate. The two, round 8mm ports are designed to be used with Goal Zero
Solar Panels. Each port can handle up to 160W of power – the combined
total cannot exceed 240W. The Anderson Powerpole port is designed to be
used with third-party solar panels and can handle 240W of power.
1. Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as
possible. See the graphic in SOLAR 101 for help.
2. Insert the blue-ringed solar panel plug into one of the INPUT ports on
the front of the YETI. You will know the YETI is charging when the green
LED light next to the INPUT port lights up, and the battery segments in
the LCD BATTERY DISPLAY are blinking. The YETI is fully charged when
all battery segments stop blinking and remain solid.
3. You can also connect the YETI to other brands of solar panels using
the Anderson Power-Pole port, next to the two charging port.
4. You can chain multiple Goal Zero Solar Panels together to reduce solar
recharge times. Your YETI is capable of taking in 160W of solar per input,
no more than 240W combined.
5. You can charge your YETI with solar panels, and a wall charger at the same time.
