Q & A

---

• Can I chain multiple Goal Zero panel into a Yeti X?

  Yes, Goal Zero's panels are designed to be safely chained together out of the box and eliminate the risks associated with 3rd party panels.  

• How do I know if my Goal Zero Yeti is charged?

  To check the charge level of your Goal Zero Yeti, refer to the Battery Display. When lit up, you'll see a battery outline with 5 segments, indicating the current charge level. It is OK to use your Goal Zero Yeti even when it's not fully charged.

• How do I know if my device will work with the Goal Zero Yeti?

  First, you'll need to determine the amount of power your device requires. This may require some research on your end, a good internet search or examining the user guide for your device should suffice.

  Second, you will need to check the capacity for the individual output ports. For example, the Goal Zero Yeti's AC port is powered by an inverter that allows for 2000W of power. This means if your device is pulling more than 2000W for an extended period of time, the Goal Zero Yeti's inverter will shut off. Another number to watch for is the surge rating of your device as compared to that of the port. The Goal Zero Yeti inverter has an advanced surge management system that will maximize its compatibility with various devices, but there will still be items that will surge at a higher rate, and for a longer time, than the Goal Zero Yeti can manage, in which case the port will turn itself off.

• What does the snowflake icon and the thermometer icon mean?

  If your yeti displays the thermometer icon and a warning of HOT or COLD, this means you are either approaching or have exceeded the temperature thresholds of the Yeti. A warning of "cold" means you will need to warm the yeti in order to resume full functionality while "hot" means you need to cool the unit.

• How long will the Yeti 3000X run my device?

  All GOAL ZERO Power Banks and Portable Power Stations have a number in their name, ex. Guide10 Plus recharger, Goal Zero Yeti 1500X. These numbers refer to the Watt Hours (Wh), or the amount of energy that can be stored in each recharger, and how you'll know if your gear is compatible with each recharger. For example, a 200Wh power station should run a 100W light for 2 hours (200/100=2). If your gear falls within the 1500Wh capacity of the Goal Zero Yeti, you'll want to check the restrictions on each of the output ports.

  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, like when running a 12V device, such as the LAL 350, directly off the 12V port, there will minimal conversion and thus very little additional losses. 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 recharger, do some research into your device's watt consumption.

• Are the boulder solar panels waterproof?

  Yes, all the boulders are designed to be waterproof. The Boulders are designed to withstand the elements, so they're great for permanent and semi-permanent installations. What you're recharging from the Boulders is what needs your help to stay dry, so keep those power packs and power stations covered up and protected from the dust, rain, and snow.

• Can I chain a boulder 100 Briefcase with other boulders?

  This depends on the panels.

  However, you can chain the Boulder 100 Briefcase with other Boulders that have an 8mm input or input connector, like the Boulder 50 or the older Boulder 30, by inserting the 8mm blue-ringed connector of the Boulder 100 Briefcase into the 8mm input of the other Boulder Solar Panel. When chaining Boulder Solar Panels in configurations over 150W, you'll need to purchase a combiner cable from Goal Zero. 

• What can I charge directly from the boulder solar panels?

  All of Goal Zero's Boulder Solar Panels are designed to charge Sherpa Power Packs and Goal Zero Yeti Portable Power Stations.

  If you're looking to recharge things like headlamps, phones, and other USB devices, check out our foldable Nomad Solar Panels.

• How long will it take to charge my Goal Zero Yeti from a boulder solar panel?

  That depends on a some following factors:

  • How big the Yeti it is
  • How big the Boulder it is
  • How cloudy it is
  • How hot it is

  Also, great news, all the Yetis allow for something called "pass-through power", this means you can be trickle charging your Yeti and using it to power your gear, all at the same time.

• Can I mount the boulder solar panels to my car roof?

  The Goal Zero Boulder 100 Briefcase is not designed to be mounted permanently to a fixture; this briefcase fold-and-go style allows you to be more portable.

  For mountable panels, take a look at the Boulder 50 and 100 Solar Panels.
