Another factor in the math is how much power is being converted going from the Goal
Zero Yeti battery to the device you are powering/charging. In some situations, like when
running a 12V device, such as the LAL 350, directly off the 12V port, there will be no
conversion and so no additional losses. In using the USB ports to charge a phone, you
add a layer of conversion (12V battery in the Goal Zero Yeti is being converted to a 5V
USB output), which introduces around 10% of losses. When using the inverter, there are
two layers of conversion (12V to high voltage, DC to AC). The least efficient way of using
the battery in the Goal Zero Yeti is to use an AC-DC adapter off the AC ports, as is the
case if you use a phone wall charger to charge your phone, as it adds yet another layer of
conversion in the wall adapter.
So when you’re deciding on what to power from your new GOAL ZERO recharger, do
some research into your device’s watt consumption. For more quick tips and learning

If your devices are not recharging from your Goal Zero Yeti, follow these steps:
1. Ensure the Output Port has been turned on. The green LED light on the power button
should be lit up.
a. If any of the lights have turned red, this indicates a trip. Push the button again to reset
it. The light will turn green when it is successfully reset.
2. Check the Battery Display. If it is at 20% or below, charge your Goal Zero Yeti.
3. Check the LCD Display for warning icons:
OVERLOAD:
Power draw exceeds port’s maximum allowance. Indicated by red light in
the port’s button.
BATT SAFE MODE:
Activates when battery voltage drops too low to run the cigarette
lighter port effectively (>10.5V). All other ports stay active (designed to protect
standard 12V devices).
4. Verify your device is suitable for use with the Goal Zero Yeti:
a. All of the Goal Zero Yeti output ports have their own max power capacity. Check the
Goal Zero Yeti’s Tech Specs to ensure your device is compatible.
5. If you are still experiencing trouble with your Goal Zero Yeti, please call our Customer
Solutions Center at 1-888-794-6250 or by email at [email protected]
