Why We Like The Goal Zero Yeti 500X Portable Power Station

Solar panels are capable of gathering plenty of energy to power the devices we need, whether we're car camping, working on a remote photo shoot, or staying at a yurt for a weekend. Making the problem of storing solar energy easier, the Yeti 500X Portable Power Station improves on Goal Zero's previous designs by integrating a Li-ion battery to the system, which increases surge allowances and reduces weight and bulk of the battery pack for a more compact and efficient way to store our power.

Probably won’t do this again.

This unit squeals while it’s charging and does not charge effectively much of the time. I’m pretty disappointed that I spent so much on something that isn’t what I wanted at all.

2 year review

I have owned my Yeti 500X for 2 years. I have tried several other brands of power stations and each one has some limitations which I have yet to find in the 500x after multiple camping seasons. Most power stations will shut off when they have a low energy draw. I use this for My CPAP machine and when it's running, it would never pull enough to keep the other power stations from turning off forcing me to reset the power station multiple times per night. I have had ZERO issues with the 500x doing this. I can run my CPAP for 2 nights with no problem. The other feature that most do not have is you are not able to charge them while in use. I connect a 100-watt solar panel to the 500x and while it is charging I also use it to charge my phones and tablets. While there is a bit of a cost difference between Goal Zero and other brands, the added cost is worth the features you get. 10000% recommended. I will be adding a Yeti 700 here soon to add power to my overland van build.

So small but BIG POWER!

I had the old YETI 400 and the bigger ones (I can't remember the number) for many years and finally they were dying (after being in sun, rain, heat, everything). So time to buy a new one. Open Box purchase is a no brainer...I know Goal Zero would give a good one. And wow! This one weighs half of my old one but just as much power! I love it! Yeti's have really improved over so many years. But also goes to show how long they last...I didn't know they've shrunk without compromising on battery life. GREAT! Here's to another 10-15 years!

Light weight

Purchased a month ago and am extremely impressed with the light weight. Very portable and has the power i need to keep the lights on and electronics charged.

Great

Bought it to keep my 12 volt fridge running overnight while camping. Did exactly what I wanted, exactly what I expected. Excellent product it appears to be brand new but it's open box.

Bet this is gong to be VERY useful, next disaster.

I bought this for use when the power goes out due to storms or wildfire. But also in case I need to evacuate again, as I have twice in the past few years due to wildfire. Happily, my house was fine both times. But I went to friend's who were without over, so was a most welcome guest as I had two smaller Goal Zero batteries and a portable solar panel, so we could power up our phones and run a small air filter. Having a Yeti 500 means I'll be able to take more storage with me in case of prolonged outages. So, I haven't used either component yet. But it's a comfort knowing I have them in my closet with my "go bag" and other important items.

So Far So Good

I just used my Yeti500X for the first time during a week long car camping trip. It stayed charged up just after fulling charging at home and then keeping it charged with the car charging cord and then on site with the solar panel. Mostly used for phone, iPad and heated sleeping pad for a few hours each night. Very pleased with this little power house.

Excellent value

Bought for camping, but am done camping for season. Am running small household items on it and am pleased with its working. Recharges very quickly off household current. Also bought Nomad 100 to solar charge, but won’t use that until next year. Excellent value for price.

Great Features

I purchased this unit to supplement my aging 400X. I noticed it is shorter and a little lighter than my 400X. Looks like a great generator.
