(200/100=2). If your gear falls within the 200Wh capacity of the Goal Zero Yeti, you'll
want to check the restrictions on each of the output ports.
Another factor in the math is how much power is being converted going from the Goal
Zero Yeti battery to the device you are powering/charging. In some situations, like when
running a 12V device, such as the LAL 350, directly off the 12V port, there will be no
conversion and so no additional losses. In using the USB ports to charge a phone, you
add a layer of conversion (12V battery in the Goal Zero Yeti is being converted to a 5V
USB output), which introduces around 10% of losses.
When using the inverter, there are two layers of conversion (12V to high voltage, DC to
AC). The least efficient way of using the battery in the Goal Zero Yeti is to use an AC-DC
adapter off the AC ports, as is the case if you use a phone wall charger to charge your
phone, as it adds yet another layer of conversion in the wall adapter.
So when you're deciding on what to power from your new GOAL ZERO recharger, do some
research into your device's watt consumption. For more quick tips and learning tools, check
