Goal Zero Batteries & Solar Power Yeti 3000X Portable Power Station

Why We Like The Yeti 3000X Portable Power Station

As the largest battery in Goal Zero’s Lithium line of backup power stations, the Yeti 3000X Portable Power Station provides an incredible amount of power when the neighborhood’s power goes down, as well as providing ample juice for car camp outings and portable parties far off the grid. Best of all, it’s free of the noisy, polluting ways of traditional gasoline-powered generators.

The Yeti 3000 Lithium features a 1500W AC inverter that powers a wide range of appliances and household items, ranging from full-size refrigerators to power tools in the garage. The larger 2075Wh capacity provides enough juice to power a 32-inch LCD TV for 30 hours, a mini fridge for 50 hours, as well as charge a laptop over 50 times, tablet over 100 times, or smartphone over 150 times. It works extremely well for sound systems and portable speakers, in case we’re trying to bring the party off-grid, as well as other electronics and household necessities when a storm blows out the local grid overnight.

To power the Yeti 3000 Lithium, simply plug it into two wall outlets to gain a full charge in approximately 25 hours. For storage convenience, the Yeti 3000 is capable of being stored up to three months without hurting its ability to hold a charge. Goal Zero recommends periodically plugging it between uses to avoid it from going dead or compromising future power capabilities. Additionally, we can harness power from Goal Zero’s popular solar panels to slowly build up a charge. The Yeti 3000 Lithium will be fully juiced after 34 to 68 hours of charging with a Boulder 100 solar panel or just 17 to 34 hours of charging with a larger Boulder 200 Briefcase, depending on the conditions and sunlight intensity. Goal Zero recommends we stay away from 12V vehicle power sources, as this may damage our vehicle or Yeti 3000 Lithium Power Station.

Please note, the Yeti 3000 Lithium Power Station comes with a charging adapter for the use with two wall outlets simultaneously, as well as a mobile carrying kit with wheels and telescoping handle.
