Small package but weak draining battery

I am surprised at how quickly this new goal zero Yeti 500X drains of energy and add in that the battery will not take a full charge (maxes out at 97%) and I am very disappointed in goal zero. My 8 year old Yeti 400 Lithium is well used and power drains from it more slowly the the brand new 500 X. Why'd disappoint me like this. I was a huge fan.

YETI 500X Unreliability

As much as I liked the older generation of Goal Zero which I still have several pieces still going strong, I can’t speak well of their new products. I’ve had 2 separate 500X battery packs die on me. The latest one I had for less than 3 months. Goal Zero won’t honor their warranty which sticks me with an expensive brick. Shame on Goal Zero for reducing the quality of equipment. I’ll NEVER buy another Goal Zero product.

Very handy power source

We bought one of these and like the portability so much that we bought another on the open box deal. We now have these two and two larger power stations. Using them every day to save on sky rocketing utility bills. And they will be good for camping and power failures in an emergency. Wonderful pieces of equipment!

Worthless!

Like the other poor reviews... I have only used this battery only three times and now it won't charge. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the receipt so now I have a very large, expensive paperweight. I will never buy another GoalZero product again. Buyer beware!

So far so good but we haven’t tested in the real world yet. We bought this for our camping trips when we Boondock in our truck. We tested it inside in 70 degree home to see how long it the battery would last charging our 45 watt fridge. It had to cool the fridge first too. At 12 hours we still had 50% batter left. We haven’t been able to test the solar panel charge of the battery so we will see. Looks like solid construction and we’re looking forward to using soon.

Trouble free and exactly what I expected. Easy to use and integrates with my system of GZ solar panels.
