Yeti 1500X/3000X/6000X → Charging Profiles
Charging Profiles give users the flexibility and choice of how their Yeti will charge and discharge, giving options to target Performance, Battery Saving, or personalization. Users can change their Charging Profile from the App or even directly from the Yeti.
The Yeti Charging Profiles feature is available on the following Yeti models running firmware v1.3.0 or newer:
- Goal Zero Yeti 1500X
- Goal Zero Yeti 3000X
- Goal Zero Yeti 6000X
Users will also want to ensure they keep their iOS or Android app up to date for the latest features and support.
The Yeti stores values for the Minimum discharge point, Recharge point, and Maximum charge point. By default these are set to Performance Mode.
The Yeti will allow the user to enable ports and discharge their battery as long as the Yeti's battery is above the Minimum discharge point. If the Yeti reaches the Minimum discharge point, the ports will be disabled and can be re-enabled when the battery percentage has recovered above the minimum discharge point.
The Yeti can hold off charging the battery even while connected to a power source until the recharge point is reached. This can be good for situations where you don't want the battery to get too low, but you're okay holding off charging for a period of time. Allowing some amount of discharge is good for the battery and also can be ideal to avoid peak Time-Of-Use (TOU) Rates from some Electric Service Providers. If you want your Yeti to start charging before it reaches the recharge point, just unplug it and plug it back in.
The Yeti will stop charging when the Maximum Charge Point is reached. This again can be used to avoid charging during peak Time-Of-Use (TOU) Rates from some Electric Service Providers and also to help extend the life of the battery.
