Well, I plugged it in, downloaded the app. It charged right up. I connected it to the app via WiFi, seems to work. Haven't actually used it to power anything yet.
Tested all functionality prior to a 4 day off grid camping trip. I was able to run a Dometic 35 and a EDHBay refrigerators for 4 days with minimal solar charging (mostly cloudy). No issues, all functions worked as expected.
This is my 2nd 1500X. I have used it with power tools, mobile amateur radio station, charging cell phones, hearing aids, and C-PAP machines. Soon will try powering a satellite dish and modem in a remote location.
This size Yeti replaced a smaller one that ran my lights and tv just fine, but this summer I planned on adding a portable evaporative cooler so I upsized. Works great - I got the more powerful ac charger just in case the sun lets me down. This will also handle a PS4 when my husband takes over!
I bought this last month for my sprinter van that purchased the same time. I’m in the road right now for 4 weeks from Joshua Tree CA to Vancouver BC, no problem so far. Instead of installing 2 batteries, adapter… just one goal zero and saved a lot of time. Did the calculations, cost me the same!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I own the 1500X for to years now. Great powerstation for the outdoors. Even with direct sunlight and extreme heat inside my car, the powerstations withstands the power draw and charging input. Experienced that quite differently with other manufacturers.
Can someone tell me if the 1500X is able to be charged simultaneously with 12V-input via cigarette-lighter-plug (of course with the GZ 12V cable) AND solar panel at once?
