CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT
Input Charge Indicator:
FLASHING BLUE - Power source is correctly plugged into
8mm input and charging.
BLUE - Lead-Acid battery is full.
Lead Acid State of Charge Indicator:
1 LED LIGHT - Lead-Acid battery is 25% full or less
2 LED LIGHTS - Lead-Acid battery is 25% - 50% full
3 LED LIGHTS - Lead-Acid battery is 50% - 75% full
ALL LED LIGHTS - Lead-Acid battery is 75% full or more
Error LED
FLASHING RED - Yeti is in an over voltage condition or lead
acid battery is in an under voltage condition. Disconnect
all Tank Cables from Link and Yeti and please call our solar
experts at 888-794-6250.
NOTE
1 The 8mm port on the Link is the only way to charge both the Yeti and
Tank. Input ports on the Yeti display will only charge the Yeti, not the Tank.
2 When Link and Tank are properly installed, power passes through the
8mm port to the Tank and then into the Yeti. Thus, without a Tank or third
party battery attached, you cannot charge the Yeti directly using the 8mm
port on the Link.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: I'm charging my Yeti and it is connected to one or more Tank batteries,
but my Tank batteries are not filling up. What should I do?
A: First, make sure you are using the input on your Link to charge your
system. This input is the only way to charge both your Tank(s) and Yeti
at the same time. If you are using the correct input and still having a
problem, try resetting by reinstalling your Link.
Q: I installed my Link into my Yeti, connected my batteries, and I'm not
showing a charge. What's going on?
A: Upon initial installation, the Link needs time to identify which type of Yeti
you own in order to maximize performance. It can take up to 30 seconds
to start operating.

Q: Can I use third party, non-Goal Zero lead-acid batteries with the Link?
A: Although not recommended yes, you can use any 12V SLA or AGM deep
cycle lead acid battery with the Link. However, you will need a Goal Zero
Male Link Chaining Cable to connect your batteries to the Link.
Q: If I'm using my own third party lead acid batteries, how do I wire them up?
A: When connecting multiple 12V lead-acid batteries to your Link, be sure
to connect the batteries in parallel. Parallel connections will increase your
current rating, but the voltage will stay the same.
WARNING: Connecting batteries in series will increase the voltage,
causing damage to the unit and possible personal injury or death.
Q: How many lead acid batteries can I plug into the Link?
A: You can attach as many 12V lead-acid batteries to your Link as you'd like.
Q: Why is my Link only charging my Yeti up to 98%?
A: The Link will only charge a Newer generation Yeti Lithium to 98%. This
protection is in place to protect and prolong the life of your battery. Second
generation Yeti Lithium power stations equipped with the latest firmware
updates can be charged to 100%.
Q. Once you put the Link into Vehicle mode, does it stay in Vehicle mode until
you put it back into Tank Mode?
A. The Yeti Link will stay in Vehicle mode until you manually change it back to
Tank mode. If moving the unit from your vehicle to then chain it to the Tank
batteries in your home, you will need to change the Link from Vehicle Mode
to Tank Mode.
Q. Would the solar still feed the Vehicle battery when the Vehicle is not
running?
A. Yes, if you have a solar panel plugged directly into the 8mm port on the Yeti
Link, the panel will be charging both the Yeti and your Vehicle battery when
it isn't running.
