Using your Goal Zero Yeti

How to use your Goal Zero Yeti:
1. Press the master POWER button to turn on your Goal Zero Yeti.
2. Press the power button located above each port you will be using. When
not using certain ports, make sure to turn them off to conserve power.
3. You'll know the port is turned on when the green LED light on the button is illuminated.
4. Plug in your gear for power anywhere life takes you.
5. If possible, keep your Goal Zero Yeti plugged into a power source when not in use.
6. You can charge your Goal Zero Yeti and charge your gear at the same time.

Best-Use Strategy:

When charging gear with your Goal Zero Yeti, take note of the LCD Battery Display.
If you plug in devices that have a high power requirement (a large refrigerator), the
charge level of your Goal Zero Yeti can drop very quickly and you may not get exactly
1250Wh of power. On the flipside, if you're recharging devices that draw power more
slowly (a small TV), you will get closer to 1250Wh from your Goal Zero Yeti. If you're
experiencing shorter runtimes, you may want to check the device's power requirements,
see TROUBLESHOOTING for help.

Cold Weather Usage:

Cold temperatures (below freezing) can impact the Goal Zero Yeti's battery capacity. If
you'll be living off-grid in sub-zero conditions, we recommend keeping your Goal Zero
Yeti in an insulated cooler, and connected to a power source (solar panels). The natural
heat generated by the Goal Zero Yeti contained in an insulated cooler will keep battery
capacity at its highest.

LCD Display:

You can activate the display backlight by pressing the Display button. The built-in LCD
display indicates three important things:
1. INPUT shows the amount of power (watts) going into the Goal Zero Yeti while
charging. If charging from solar, you'll see the watts change as you reposition the
panels into/out of the sunlight.
a. LO will be displayed if power flow is below a measureable amount.
2. OUTPUT shows the amount of power (watts) your devices are using while
plugged into the Goal Zero Yeti.

3. Goal Zero Yeti 1250 Warnings:
Battery Fail: Replace internal battery
Blown Fuse: Contact Goal Zero Solutions Center
Low Battery: Plug into power source immediately
Temperature Warning; Too Hot: Unplug Goal Zero Yeti and
allow it to cool down
Inverter Fail: Device is pulling too much power. Unplug device and turn AC
inverter off and on. Contact Goal Zero Solutions Center

Storage and Downtime Maintenance:

Having your Goal Zero Yeti connected to a power source, like a solar panel or wall outlet,
between adventures or while in storage keeps its battery healthy and topped off. This
prolongs battery life and will ensure your Goal Zero Yeti is charged and ready to go all
day, every day.
If you can't keep your Goal Zero Yeti plugged into a power source during storage,
fully-charge your Goal Zero Yeti every 3 months and store it in a cool, dry place. Failure
to maintain your Goal Zero Yeti by following these steps can result in battery damage
which will void the product warranty.

Chaining your Goal Zero Yeti:

Looking for more power from your Goal Zero Yeti? You can extend the run time of your
Goal Zero Yeti by connecting it to additional 12V, 100Ah batteries. The connector on
the back of the Goal Zero Yeti is an Anderson Power SB175
1. Before chaining batteries to the Goal Zero Yeti 1250, you'll need to purchase the
correct cables and additional batteries:
a. Goal Zero Yeti 1250 Battery Clamp Connector Cable (SKU #98003)
temporarily connects other 12V batteries.
b. Goal Zero Yeti 1250 Ring Terminal Connector Cable (SKU #98001) semi-
permanently connects other 12V batteries.
c. Connect only 100Ah, 12V lead-acid batteries (or similar, 175Ah MAX)
batteries to the Goal Zero Yeti 1250.
2. Locate and remove the plastic cover on the back of the Goal Zero Yeti
(near the top, center).
3. Connect the chaining cable to the additional batteries.
4. Connect the chaining cable into the Anderson Powerpole on the back of
the Goal Zero Yeti.
When additional batteries are chained to the Goal Zero Yeti, you will experience
increased charge times – this is a result of having to charge up the chained batteries in
addition to the Goal Zero Yeti.
