How to use your Goal Zero Yeti:
1. 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.
2. You’ll know the port is turned on when the white LED light on the button is illuminated.
3. Plug in your gear for power anywhere life takes you.
4. If possible, keep your Goal Zero Yeti plugged into a power source when not in use.
5. 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 LCD Battery Display. If you plug in
devices that have a high power requirement, the charge level of your Goal Zero Yeti can drop very
quickly and you may not get exactly 500Wh of energy. 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 (pg. 13) 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.
