Cold Weather Usage; Lcd Display; Storage And Downtime Maintenance - Goalzero Yeti 6000X User Manual

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. The Yeti will not allow charging below freezing
for safety reasons. The unit will warn show a warning on the LCD as you approach
this temperature

LCD Display

The built-in LCD display indicates four
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.
2. OUTPUT shows the amount of power (watts) your devices are using while plugged
into the Goal Zero Yeti.
3. TIME TO EMPTY/FULL shows the amount of time before your Goal Zero Yeti is
completely charged or empty, depending on if the net amount of power going into the
Goal Zero Yeti is positive or negative.
4. BATTERY LEVEL shows 5 segments, approximating 20% - 40% - 60% - 80%
-100% capacity. As you use your Goal Zero Yeti, segments will disappear from the
display, indicating the remaining charge. When charging your Goal Zero Yeti you will
notice a battery segment blinking. 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 the ttime until fully charged. This is an estimated time
based on the power input and output numbers at that time; it will adjust to a shorter or
longer time if the charge or discharge rates fluctuate. Note that when you first plug in a
8
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.
5. The WiFi symbol indicates the Yeti's WiFi is turned on. If flashing, the Yeti is ready to
connect to a device.
Front Buttons:
Pressing the LIGHT button will turn the display backlight on and off.
Pressing the UNIT button will scroll through different output and power consumption
settings. Hold units + info to perform factory reset. this deletes wifi information and
configurations. Hold units to reset watt hour counter.
Pressing the INFO button will alternate the screen between showing the detailed battery
state of charge percentage and the Time to Empty/Full.

Storage and Downtime Maintenance

Having your Goal Zero Yeti connected to a power source, like a solar panel or wall plug,
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. If
the Yeti has not been used for several months, it may require several charge cycles
to restore accurate results on the battery percent and time remaining values on the
screen. Failure to maintain your Goal Zero Yeti by following these steps can result in
battery damage which will void the product warranty.
