Yeti 300 quick to "reload" on solar charging

I purchased the newer model of the Yeti 300 and the improved technology is much better than my Yeti 500 of the older version. The Yeti 300 recharges much faster than the 500. If I had the funds I would update my 500 also.
I would recommend this to a friend!

not run a full refrigerator as advise

very good quality I'm a Eng. tch and by spec the only way run a full refrigerator is if the refrigerator is linear inverter or if power bank is low frequency inverter. I test with a small refrigerator and the yeti 300 cant run the refrigerator I wait for a yeti 700 to do the same test

Car charging cord?

I was excited about this until I realized it didn’t come with a car charging cord and of course the solar charging option is hundreds extra. Should have just bought a new battery and used the inverter and solar panel I already have. Honestly, I’ll probably return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect size and weight to take with me for a day - run laptop and fan with power to spare!

Boondocking must! Tells me my wattage IN and OUT so I can monitor energy levels. Lighter in weight and the dust covers come in handy.

Doesn't do what it claims

I got this Yeti 300 thinking I could run my wifi, a Mac Mini, a monitor and an LED lamp to make my office power-outage proof and then be able to take this camping on occasion. I figured I would run it in APS mode and the battery would only come on when necessary since the owners manual says this "Power will pass directly from the grid or AC power source to the loads connected to the Yeti and bypass the inverter of the Yeti. If grid power is interrupted, power will quickly switch to Yeti power". I don't believe this is actually the case for several reasons.
1. The battery seems to need to charge very frequently (and loudly)
2. I've woken up to my wifi being offline due to the AC outlets being in an "overloaded" status. How can I be overloading the AC outlets when I should be bypassing the inverter?
3. I've had everything that could possibly be on running through the battery and I've seen a max of 160W through daily use, but somehow in the middle of the night when absolutely nothing is drawing power except the wifi router the AC outlets get overloaded

I'm giving this 2 stars and not 1 because I do think it's a well built product, but it simply doesn't do the things it claims to be able to and has made my offices power delivery less reliable than the grid.
