Another factor in the math is how much power is being converted going from the Goal Zero Yeti
battery to the device you are powering/charging. In some situations when running a 12V device
directly off the 12V port, there will be no conversion and so no additional losses. An example of this,
is the LAL 350 running off of the 12V port. In using the USB ports to charge a phone, you add a layer
of conversion (12V battery in the Goal Zero Yeti is being converted to a 5V USB output), which
introduces around 10% of losses. When using the inverter, there are two layers of conversion (12V to
high voltage, DC to AC). The least efficient way of using the battery in the Goal Zero Yeti is to use an
AC-DC adapter off the AC ports, as is the case if you use a phone wall charger to charge your phone,
as it adds yet another layer of conversion in the wall adapter.
So when you're deciding on what to power from your new Goal Zero Power Station, do some
research into your device's watt consumption. For more quick tips and learning tools, check out

Troubleshooting
If your devices are not recharging from your Goal Zero Yeti, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the Output Port has been turned on. The white LED light on the power button should be
lit up.
a. If any of the lights have turned red, this indicates a trip. Push the button again to reset it. The light
will turn white when it is successfully reset.
2. Check the Battery Display. If it is at 20% or below, charge your Goal Zero Yeti.
3. Check the LCD Display for warning icons:
OVERLOAD: Power draw exceeds port's maximum allowance. Indicated by red light in the
port's button.
BATT SAFE MODE: Activates when battery voltage drops too low to run the 12V car port
effectively (>10.5V). All other ports stay active (designed to protect standard 12V devices).
Temperature warning.
Allow unit to cool.
4. Verify your device is suitable for use with the Goal Zero Yeti:
a. All of the Goal Zero Yeti output ports have their own max power capacity. Check the Goal Zero
Yeti'sTech Specs to ensure your device is compatible.
