What type of battery is in my YETI?

Your YETI uses a Group 31, 12V, 100Ah, sealed lead-acid battery (AGM), 
similar to what is found in your car. Here are some basic facts about AGM 
batteries:

1. AGM batteries should be kept full at all times.

This means you should leave your YETI plugged into a power sources at 
all times, especially during storage.

2. AGM batteries last longer if you do not drain them completely.

This stems from the “battery memory myth” in old rechargeable batteries. 
You can read more about this in the Battery 101 section.

Can I replace the battery in my YETI?

Yes, the battery inside the YETI is extremely easy to replace.

1. Remove the four bolts holding down the top of the YETI.

2. Lift the top of the YETI off and set aside.

3. Remove the metal battery strap by unscrewing the bolt and lifting the 
strap off.

4. Remove the two battery terminal bolts.

5. Disconnect the wires on the battery terminals.

6. Lift the old battery out of the body of the YETI

**This battery is HEAVY. Use caution and proper technique when lifting.

7. Insert replacement battery and reassemble in reverse order of steps 
above.

How do I know if my YETI is charged?

To check the charge level of your YETI, refer to the LCD Battery Display. 
When lit up, you’ll see a battery outline with five segments, indicating the 
current charge level. You can turn on the Battery Display by pushing the 
Master POWER button. It is OK to use your YETI even when it’s not fully 
charged.

How do I know if my device will work with the YETI?

First, you’ll need to determine the amount of power your device requires. This 
may require some research on your end, a good Google search or examining 
the user guide for your device should suffice. 

Second, you will need to check the capacity for the individual output ports.
