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. BATTERYLEVEL 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.
