Is the rubber flap removable? What is the durability of the rubber flap, can it be replaced by the end user if it tears?
@goalzero9 ай бұрын
The flaps can be replaced if needed. We do recommend leaving the cover flaps on your Yeti Power Stations to protect the unit from the elements.

Our engineers are constantly hard at work designing and developing the best products we can offer and we're excited about the future. We can't share details, but rest assured, more cool things are on the way. The best way to hear about new products and announcements is to follow us on social media and join our email list.

Go kick the cage, your engineers are conservatively 5 years late to the LiFePo4 party. You certainly don’t want to end up like Jackery, the “darling” has been power station star.

I really want to see the size of these compared to my Yeti500X. I have one I use in our Mini van to power some screens for video games for um... you know... the kids to play... The spot where I store the battery is exactly as big as a Yeti 500X. How do these compare in size to the Yeti 500X?
@goalzero10 ай бұрын
The new Yeti 500 is 11.32 x 7.84 x 7.8 in. vs the Yeti 500X 11.25 x 7.5 x 5.8 in. Slightly larger due to longer life span in the LiFePO4 battery and built-in AC fast charging ( no more large brick charging cable).

Well, my house looks like a Goal Zero store 🤪Here are three Yeti 150 (upgraded with LFP), one Yeti 400 AGM (now with LFP), three Yeti 200x, one 500x and one 1000x. On top some Sherpa 100AC (3 gen and 4 gen) and some lights. Charged with some GZ and other solar panels the whole year. The small and light units are very versatile. So I'm very interested on the Yeti 300. When are the new LFP Yetis available in Europa (Germany)?
@jgg2049 ай бұрын
How did you upgrade the Yeti 150 and 400 to LFP? The voltages are slightly different so how does the charge controller know when to stop charging?
@elyeno9 ай бұрын
@@jgg204 I put 12.8 volt LFP batteries (four cells @ 3.2V) inside the 150/400. For the 150 a 14 Ah type, the 400 gots a 33 Ah type. Such batteries are full compatible with an AGM charge controller. Important is to observe the volts zu figure out the charging level. The old AGM Yeti provides only a five bar charge level indicator, every bar is 20%. The voltage from LFP is like follow: 14.6V 100% (cutoff voltage, fully charged) 13.6V 100% (resting) 13.4V 99% 13.3V 90% 13.2V 70% 13.1V 40% 13.0V 30% 12.9V 20% 12.8V 17% 12.5V 14% 12.0V 9% 10.0V 0% This means the first bar disappears if the charge level (SOC) reaches about 16%. Time to recharge. The 150 is not able to show the voltage directly on the display, it shows only the 20% bars. The 400 gives you more information, also the voltage, Ah and Wh. I switch to Wh and so I can see if the counter reached 200Wh the SOC must be 50%. It's matching with the voltage around 13.1/13.2V. During charging the 20% bars appears like AGM. Is the 100% bar solid, the charge is finished and the charge controller reached 14.6V and holding 13.6V. One of the 150 runs since 16 month with the LFP. No problems.

@elyeno my house is like your house too! I’ve got 15 different Goal Zero power stations of various sizes. Not going to list them all but similar to what you did I upgraded my Yeti 150 and 400 to LFP too with success. I tried to upgrade my yeti 1250 agm to a lifepo4 battery but it didn’t work? I’m not sure what I did wrong because the battery chemistries are the same when I did it with the 150/400’s. Have you tried this upgrade with the yeti 1250 and did you have success?
@elyeno3 ай бұрын
@@TheWuky22 I don't have a 1250, instead here is a 1000x. But the 1250 must work with a LFP, some people have done this upgrade. In the diysolarpowerforum you can find a discussion about a 1250 upgrade to LFP. He made it perfect with a new battery monitor and such things, but it's not necessary, only replace the AGM works too.

Any future intentions to launch these new Yeti power stations into the New Zealand market. Whilst I'm not a camper, the 300 could come in handy for, say, powering my laptop on the couch or a stereo in the backyard. Not to mention the usefulness if there's an extended blackout due to a storm, earthquake or other natural hazzard.

I see the ability to charge the power station with USB-C 60W input was removed from the new Yeti power stations. Is this true?
@goalzero9 ай бұрын
Yes this is true but we updated the USB-C PD port to a 100W USB-C PD port. With the introduction of AC fast charging and a 200W solar input, we thought these outweighed the usb-c input.
