Charging Your Goal Zero 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.
When charging your Goal Zero Yeti you will notice a battery segment blinking in the
display. This indicates the current charge status. Once your Goal Zero Yeti is fully
charged, all battery segments will be lit and remain solid. As long as there is more power
going into the Goal Zero Yeti than is being pulled from the output ports, the display will
also indicate an estimated time until fully charged. This is an estimated time based on the
power input and output numbers at that time; it will gradually adjust to a shorter or longer
time as the average charge or discharge rates fluctuate.
Charging from Solar
IMPORTANT NOTE: When solar recharging your Goal Zero Yeti Lithium, take
note of the voltages of the solar panels and do not exceed 30V. Individual solar
panels, or solar panels chained in series in excess of 30V cannot be used with
the Goal Zero Yeti Lithium and can cause serious damage to the unit. For help on
chaining solar panels, call our Customer Solutions Center at 888-794-6250.
The Goal Zero Yeti's charging port is located on the top-left corner of the faceplate and
has a blue ring around it. This 8mm port is designed to work with Goal Zero solar panels
and is capable of taking in 120W of solar.
1. Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible.
2. Insert the blue-ringed plug form the panel into the INPUT port on the front of the
YETI. You will know the Yeti is charging when the blue LED light next to the INPUT
port lights up, and the battery segments in the LCD BATTERY DISPLAY are blinking.
The YETI is fully charged when all battery segments stop blinking and remain solid.
3. Some GOAL ZERO panels are chainable to provide more power to your YETI and
reduce solar charge times. The INPUT port is capable of taking in 120W of solar.

Charging from the Wall
Using the included AC Wall Charger, plug your Goal Zero Yeti into any wall outlet. You will
know the Goal Zero Yeti is charging when the blue LED light next to the INPUT port turns
on, and battery segments in the BATTERY DISPLAY are blinking. The Goal Zero Yeti is
fully charged when all battery segments stop blinking and remain solid. The Goal Zero
Yeti should recharge from the wall in about 7 hours.
1. The AC wall adapter comes in two pieces. Connect the two pieces by plugging the
cable into the box.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Goal Zero Yeti Lithium is not compatible recharging from a 12V
