Well worth the money & I haven’t even used it yet.

During a recent, multiple-day power outage in NC this unit powered my buddy’s deep freezer & fridge no problem. We charged it when he had the generator running & used it at night for quiet power. I only have 2 minor dings…..
1. Sell it with the 230 watt charger standard & leave the lower wattage ones for the smaller units. That’s a looong charge time when you’re running a generator to charge it in an emergency.
2. The “combiners” don’t combine charging inputs; it just picks the highest one. If you plug the standard charging cable & a car charging cable into the combiner the two wattages don’t add together.
Those things aside (which is just me being picky) it’s stupid easy to use & performs exactly how they say it does.

yeti 1500x multiple failures
on November 21, 2022
Posted by: bobbby
bought in sept/22 to run our tv/sat setup which draws 150watts. added the extra battery which was charged by the mppt solar charger from solar panels.
1st failure was the plug from the battery to the module which melted, this was v2. this was a known problem with their v1. the module was supposed to draw 750 watts from the battery but it was drawing 823 watts, see photo. they quickly replaced the module and plug.
2nd failure was it got stuck in the update loop which none of the normal rebooting would fix. finally found the fix which required opening the case and unplugging the screen first and then the battery ec8 plugs. it fixed the problem but is very daunting with all the wires in there.
3rd failure was the usb out, it stopped working
4th failure is the 120v out. It is now giving the “overload” error even with nothing plugged in. battery profile is balanced. Battery is charged. None of the rebooting techniques can fix this so its going back to factory.

I specialize in being ready when all else fails. The Yeti 1500 hits the mark, in multiple ways. First, it supports Anderson PowerPoles out of the box, a huge plus for Amateur Radio. It supports numerous recharging options - commercial mains, and solar. It has the juice to run several pieces of gear while charging others, and that is before the sun goes down. And it is light enough that most people can move it easily. I should note that it is lighter than a similarly rated gas generator, but it still has a mass that has to be accounted for.

1500X for off Grid Emergency Power.

I love this product. Just installed the home power panel for 4 circuits in the event we are without power for a long time. Tested it today for powering a side by side refrigerator and freezer and a full floor of lights. Test was perfect and we can now know that we will have full off grid power in the event of a major power outage. Excellent product and well made!

Failed when we needed it most

Bought this as a backup for the freezer we store my wife's extra breast milk in. She is on medication that she shouldn't breastfeed on and so she pumped an extra 3000 oz of breast milk while on maternity leave while she didn't need to take her medication. We were going to be away for a month to visit family and let them get to spend time with our newborn son. We just got back and everything in the freezer has to be thrown away. The unit was on 91% but for some reason the output outlet turned itself off. There is no notification when this happens. I have the app and could have turned it on if I was notified. This is especially disappointing because this happened at the same time as the formula shortage. Seems like a good unit for camping or when you are able to monitor it but there is no way I will be able to trust this product to perform for critical times.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
