Quiet, portable power for base camps, cabins and unexpected outages. The Goal Zero Yeti 400 Portable Power Station allows you to live life off the grid, camp in luxury, or power through an outage without the noise and fumes of traditional back-up generators.

THERE ARE 3 WAYS TO CHARGE YOUR GOAL ZERO YETI 400:

The Sun
The Goal Zero Yeti 400 can be charged by connecting a compatible solar panel (see the chart below for solar compatibility).

Wall
The Goal Zero Yeti 400 can be charged by being plugged into a regular wall outlet.

Car
The Goal Zero Yeti 400 can also be charged by plugging into your car 12V adapter.

Q .: What battery type is the Yeti 400?

A .: The Yeti 400 uses a sealed 12V, 33 Ah lead-acid battery (AGM) similar to that of your car. Here are some basic facts about AGM batteries: * AGM batteries should be kept charged at all times. * AGM batteries will last longer if you do not completely empty them. This comes from the "battery supply myth" with old rechargeable batteries.

Q: How can I find out if my Yeti 400 is charged?

A .: Check the battery status of the Yeti 400 in the LCD battery display to check the charge status. When it lights up, you can see the outline of a 5-segment battery that shows the current state of charge. You can turn on the battery indicator by pressing one of the power buttons above each output connector. You can use your Yeti 400 even when it is not fully charged.

Q .: My Yeti 400 produces a beep, what does that mean?

A .: Plug your Yeti 400 into a power source as fast as possible, such as B. solar module or socket, a. This beep indicates that the battery level of your Yeti 400 is low, requiring a charge.

Q .: Can I take my Yeti 400 on the plane?

A .: You can do that, even if it's a little hard. The Yeti 400 includes a modern, sealed lead-acid battery that is completely safe on your flight. Take your manual with you to show which type of battery is included in the device.

Q. Is the battery in my Yeti 400 interchangeable?

A .: Yes. Your Yeti 400 depends on a modern lead-acid battery to power your gear, and like all the other batteries, one day it ends up in the battery cemetery. You're in luck, because the battery of the Yeti 400 is interchangeable.

Q .: What do the different display options mean?

A .: The LCD screen of your Yeti 400 is a modern element that helps you better understand how to feed and monitor your consumption. The input page reflects the amount of power that your Yeti 400 will receive during charging. The output page displays the amount of energy that the devices you plugged in from the Yeti 400 - in the form of amperes, volts, watts, amp hours, and watt-hours. You can use the values given in watts to estimate the operating times. For example, if you've plugged in a lamp that consumes 100W, you can estimate that the Yeti 400 can power the lamp for about 4 hours (Yeti Wh / Device-W = working time in hours, 400/100 = 4 hours). Watt hours (Wh) and amp hours (Ah) represent the amount of energy consumed per hour. This value grows every time you use your Yeti and can be manually reset at any time.

Q: Can I power devices through the Anderson power pole connectors on the side of the Yeti 400?

A.: There is no undervoltage protection built into the Anderson Power Pole ports on the side of the Yeti 400, which means you could damage the battery if you try to power devices through these ports. These connectors are designed to be connected in series with other Yetis 400 or Extremes 350 for longer operating times.

Q .: What is a pure sine wave voltage inverter?

A .: When it comes to electricity, you probably already heard the letters DC and AC. DC stands for DC and is the only type of current that can be stored in a battery. AC stands for AC and is the type of current that your device uses when plugged into the wall outlet. An inverter is required to change a DC output to an AC output and requires a small amount of current for forming. You can see this when you turn on the AC connector and look at the output on the LCD screen. A pure sine wave inverter, such as the one in your Yeti 400, produces an output that is exactly the same as the output provided by an AC wall outlet in your home. Even if more components are required to integrate a pure-sine-wave inverter, it produces a current output that makes it compatible with almost all of the AC electrical appliances you use in your home. Finally, a pure sine wave inverter will allow your Yeti 400 to supply almost anything below 400 watts in your home, which you would normally plug into a wall outlet.

Q: How can I find out if my device works in conjunction with the Yeti 400?

A .: First, determine the power consumption your device needs. This may require research on your part, good online research or reading in the user manual of your device should be sufficient. You should use devices that consume less than 300 W to be compatible with the Yeti 400. Second, you need to check the capacity of each output port. For example, the AC port is monitored by an inverter that allows for 300W continuous power. This means that the Inverter of the Yeti 400 will switch off if your device gets more than 300W for an extended period of time. If you know that your device is compatible, you might want to know how long you can feed your equipment with the Yeti 400.

Q .: How long does the Yeti 400 supply my device?

A .: All Goal Zero Chargers have a number in their name. These numbers refer to watt-hours (Wh) or the amount of energy that can be stored in each individual battery and help you estimate how long your equipment can be powered by the particular charger. For example, a 400 Wh battery should be able to power a 100 W lamp for 4 hours (400/100 = 4). If your equipment falls into the 400 Wh capacity of the Yeti 400, you should check the restrictions at each outlet.
