Using your Goal Zero Yeti
How to use your Goal Zero Yeti:
1. 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.
2. You'll know the port is turned on when the LED light on the button is illuminated.
3. Plug in your gear for power anywhere life takes you.
4. If possible, keep your Goal Zero Yeti plugged into a power source when not in use.
5. You can charge your Goal ZeroYeti, and run your gear at the same time.
Best-Use Strategy:
Whenrecharging gearwithyourYeti, take note of the LED Battery Display. If you plug in devices thathave a high
power requirement, the charge level of your Yeti can drop very quickly and you may not get exactly 187Wh of
power. On the flipside, if you're charging devices that draw power more slowly (a tablet), you will get closer to
187Wh from yourYeti.Also, especially when using the AC poweroutput, the Goal ZeroYeti will be converting the
energy from the DC power of
the battery to the AC power needed by your device. Although your Goal ZeroYeti has a highly efficient inverter,
there is still some energy lost in the conversionand you will not get the full rated capacity of the battery. 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 out
living off-grid in sub-zero conditions, we recommend keeping your Goal Zero Yeti in an insulated
cooler, connected to a power source (solar panels), and charging your gear. The natural heat
generated by the Goal Zero Yeti contained in an insulated cooler will keep battery capacity at its
highest.

LED Display + Buttons
The built-in LED display indicates battery level. Battery level displays as a number from 0 to 100.
When charging your Goal Zero Yeti you will notice a lightning bolt icon that flashes blue in the display.
This indicates the current charge status. Once your Goal Zero Yeti is fully charged, the battery level
display will read 100. Note that when you first plug in a power source, whether it's a solar panel or a
wall charger, the Yeti may take a minute to detect and adjust its charge circuitry
before it starts drawing power from the
source.
