What does 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.

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, self-discharge 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
