2. Insert the blue-ringed solar panel plug into one of the INPUT ports, either on the front
of the Goal Zero Yeti or in the storage compartment under the top lid. You will know the
Goal Zero 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 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 solar panels using the Anderson Power-
Pole port and the appropriate adapter, next to the 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.
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 18 hours.
1. The AC wall adapter comes in two pieces. Connect the two pieces by plugging the
cable into the box.
2. The AC cable can be plugged into the AC adapter while it’s stored inside the storage
compartment with the 8mm DC barrel connector plugged into the port inside the
compartment, or it can be moved out of the compartment and plugged into the front
panel input port.
Charging from your Car
Although not recommended, you can charge your Goal Zero Yeti 1000 from any 12V
source, like your car, to charge your Goal Zero Yeti from a car or 12V source, you will
need to purchase an 8.0 mm to 12V charger from GOALZERO.com. Call our Customer
Solutions Center at 1-888-794-6250 for help identifying the charger. Since car battery
systems are designed for charging Lead Acid battery chemistries, and your Goal Zero
Yeti is a Lithium Ion battery system, the charge rates and how completely the Goal Zero
Yeti will get charged may be inconsistent.
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
There are three different inputs you can use when charging your Goal Zero Yeti from
solar, two of which are located in the “INPUT” area in the top left corner of the Goal Zero
Yeti faceplate and a third one located inside the storage compartment under the top
lid. One of the front ports and the port inside the storage compartment are round 8mm
ports designed to be used with Goal Zero Solar Panels. Each input port can handle up to
160W. The Anderson Power Pole port is designed to be used with larger or higher power
solar panels and can handle 240W of power, which is the total capacity for power across
all input ports.
1. Place your solar panel where it will get as much direct sunlight as possible.
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.
