If your devices are not recharging from your YETI, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the Master POWER button is turned on.
2. Ensure the Output Port has been turned on. The green LED light on the
power button should be lit up.
a. If any of the lights have turned red, this indicates a trip. Push the
button again to reset it. The light will turn green when it is successfully
reset.
3. Check the Battery Display. If it is at 20% or below, charge your YETI.
4. Verify your device is suitable for use with the YETI:
a. All of the YETI output ports have their own max power capacity. Check
the YETI’s Tech Specs to ensure your device is compatible.
5. Reset the battery following these steps: **Unplug all charging cables,
including device charging cables, from the YETI before attempting to reset
the battery.
a. Remove the four bolts holding the YETI top in place.
b. Lift top off and set aside.
c. Remove the two battery terminal bolts.
d. Disconnect the wires on the battery terminals. Wait 10 seconds.
e. Reconnect battery wires and reassemble YETI.
6. Check the LCD Display for warning icons: (helpful to show icons here)
a. Battery Failure: Battery needs to be replaced
b. Blown Fuse: Report to Solutions Center
c. Low Battery: Plug into a power source
d. Temperature Warning: Yeti is too hot, unplug and place in a cool, dark
place
e. Inverter Fail: Device is pulling too much power. Unplug device and turn
AC inverter off and on. If icon does not turn off, call the Solutions Center
If you are still experiencing trouble with your YETI, please call our Customer
Solutions Center at 1-888-794-6250 or by email at [e-mail]
Second, you will need to check the capacity for the individual output ports.
For example, the AC port is monitored by an inverter that allows for 1200W
of continuous power. This means if your device is a pulling more than 1200W
for an extended period of time, the YETI’s inverter will shut 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 YETI. Here’s a quick and
dirty lesson in power.
All GOAL ZERO power packs and solar generators have a number in their
name, ex. GUIDE 10 Plus Power Pack, GOAL ZERO YETI 1250 Solar
Generator. 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 recharger should
run a 100W light for 2 hours (200/100=2). If your gear falls within the
1250Wh capacity of the YETI, you’ll want to check the restrictions on each
of the output ports.
Here are some common devices and their watt-hour requirements:
Device Power from Yeti 1250
Light-a-Life 12V Lantern (3Wh) 400+ Hrs
Smartphone (2-5Wh) 100+ Recharges
Tablet (25-42Wh) 45+ Recharges
Laptop (50Wh) 20+ Hrs
Desktop Computer (100W) 12 Hrs
Mini Fridge (30-60W) 20-40Hrs
32” LCD TV (98-156W) 8-12Hrs
Vacuum Cleaner (200-700W) 1.5-7Hrs
Drill (250-1000W) 1-5Hrs
Blender/Processor (200-200W) 4-6Hrs
Washing Machine (250-500W) 2-3Hrs
Refrigerator (400-800W) 2-3Hrs
So when you’re deciding on what to power from your new GOAL ZERO
recharger, do some research into your device’s wattage consumption. For more
