Charging Your YETI
CHARGE ME NOW: Before using or storing, plug your Goal Zero Yeti into the wall
until it is fully charged. Keep your Goal Zero Yeti plugged in when not in use. For
more tips and tricks on keeping your battery healthy, see the BATTERY 101 section.
LCD Battery Display: The LCD Battery Display indicates the charge level of
your Goal Zero Yeti. There are 5 segments to the battery, approximating 20% -
40% - 60% - 80% -100% capacity. As you use your Goal Zero Yeti, segments
will disappear from the display, indicating the remaining charge. When charging
your Goal Zero Yeti you will notice a battery segment blinking at a 1 second
interval. This indicates the current charge status. Once your Goal Zero Yeti is
fully charged, all battery segments will be lit and remain solid.

Solar Panel
Charging from Solar
There are three different inputs you can use when charging your Goal Zero Yeti
from solar, all located in the "INPUT" area in the top left corner of the Goal Zero
Yeti faceplate. The two, round 8mm ports are designed to be used with Goal
Zero Solar Panels. Each port can handle up to 160W of power – the combined
total cannot exceed 240W. The Anderson Powerpole port is designed to be
used with third-party solar panels and can handle 240W of power.
1. Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as
possible. See the graphic in SOLAR 101 for help.
2. Insert the blue-ringed solar panel plug into one of the INPUT ports on
the front of the Goal Zero Yeti. You will know the Goal Zero Yeti is charging
when the green LED light next to the INPUT port lights up, and the battery
segments in the LCD BATTERY DISPLAY are blinking. The Goal Zero Yeti is
fully charged when all battery segments stop blinking and remain solid.
3. You can also connect the Goal Zero Yeti to other brands of solar panels
using the Anderson Power-Pole port, next to the two charging port.
4. You can chain multiple Goal Zero Solar Panels together to reduce solar
recharge times. Your Goal Zero Yeti is capable of taking in 160W of solar
per input, no more than 240W combined.
5. You can charge your Goal Zero Yeti with solar panels, and a wall charger
at the same time.
