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.

have my Yeti connected to a charger but i t is at 9 8 % and not charging, what is going
on?
In order to get the most life out of your battery we make sure to not stress the battery pack at
the full state of charge. The battery will charge to 100% and then stop, self- discharge over time
to 98% before the charge will engage again. If you are wanting to make sure your Yeti is
completely topped off for upcoming use, unplugging and then re-plugging in your input cable
should reengage the input and start the charge again

My yeti is not responding or is exhibiting odd behavior what should I do?
Your Goal Zero Yeti uses custom designed Lithium Ion. Here are some basic facts about Lithium Ion
batteries:
1. . Lithium Ion batteries can store and release a lot of energy in a short period of time. The
batteries in your Goal Zero Yeti are in a protective enclosure with a sophisticated battery
management and protection system controlling its terminals to the outside world.
2. . It is critical that your battery does not get wet as moisture and water can get into the battery
cells behind the protection circuitry and bypass that protection.
