| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Storage | |
| CapacityHow much energy the battery stores. Bigger means longer runtime or more of your own solar power used later. | 1,505.28 Wh (51.2 V, 29.4 Ah) |
| Battery chemistryLFP (lithium iron phosphate) cells are known for long life and stable behaviour with heat. | LiFePO4 (LFP) |
| Cycle lifeHow many full charge and discharge cycles the cells are rated for before they hold less than the stated share of their original capacity. | 4,000 cycles to 80% of original capacity (at 25 °C charge and discharge) |
| ExpansionExtra battery units that add storage to the same system. | None: Goal Zero says the 6th generation Yeti 1000 and 1500 do not work with the Yeti Link expansion module or the Yeti Tank expansion batteries |
| Output | |
| AC output (continuous)The power it can deliver all the time. Add up the watts of what you want to run at once and stay below this. | 4 outlets, 120 V, 60 Hz pure sine wave, 20 A: 2,000 W continuous, 2,000 W per port and 2,000 W in total |
| AC output (surge)A short burst above the continuous rating, for appliances that draw more power when they start. | 3,600 W peak |
| AC output, bypass modeThe most the AC outlets can deliver while the unit passes mains power straight through, instead of running from the battery. | 1,752 W maximum (up to 14.6 A) when the unit is plugged into the wall |
| USB-APorts for phones, tablets and small devices. | 2 ports, 18 W maximum each (36 W combined) |
| USB-CPorts for laptops, phones and tablets. Power delivery up to 100 W can charge most laptops. | 1 port at 140 W (5 to 28 V, up to 5 A), 1 port at 60 W (5 to 20 V, up to 3 A) and 2 ports at 30 W each; 260 W combined |
| 12 V DC outputsDirect 12 V ports for car-style accessories, lights, pumps and fridges. They avoid the losses of converting to AC and back. | 12 V auxiliary (car-style) port 162 W (13.5 V, 12 A); 12 V High Power Port (HPP) 405 W (13.5 V, 30 A); 2 x 6 mm ports 135 W each (13.5 V, 10 A); 405 W combined across the 12 V outputs |
| Pass-through chargingWhether it can power devices while it is itself being charged. | Yes: you can charge the Yeti while it powers devices |
| No-load power useThe power the unit draws just to keep its inverter running with nothing plugged in. Turn the output off when you are not using it. | Not stated as a figure; Goal Zero's guide says an active port can still show a small output with nothing plugged in, so turn ports off when not in use |
| Charging | |
| AC chargingHow fast it charges from a wall socket. Higher means a shorter wait. | Fast: 1,500 W (104 to 127 V AC, 60 Hz, 12.5 A on the page and up to 14.6 A in the guide). Low speed: 750 W (6.25 A). |
| Time to charge from the mainsHow long a full charge takes from a wall socket. | Fast: 1.1 hours (0 to 80% in 0.8 hours). Low speed: 2.4 hours (0 to 80% in 1.6 hours). |
| Solar inputHow much solar panel power it accepts. A higher figure fills the battery faster on a sunny day. | 8 mm low-voltage input 300 W maximum (13.2 to 30 V, 10 A) and High Power Port input 600 W maximum (12.3 to 60 V, 20 A); 900 W combined DC and solar input |
| Solar charging timeHow long a full charge takes from solar panels, in the conditions the maker names. | 3 hours at the 900 W maximum; 17.2 hours with a 100 W panel, 8.6 hours with 200 W, 5.7 hours with 300 W, 4.3 hours with 400 W, 3 hours with 600 W or 800 W |
| Car chargingCharging from a car's 12 V or 24 V socket while driving. Slow, but useful on the road. | Through the 8 mm input with a 12 V car charger (10 A): 13.6 hours for a full charge |
| Backup switchover (EPS)What happens when the grid fails. EPS means it takes over automatically. | Automatic Power Switching (APS): grid to battery in under 15 ms when the unit is plugged into the wall and loads use its AC outlets |
| Solar and off-grid | |
| Works with solar panelsWhether you can charge it from solar panels. Yes means a built-in solar input or a compatible solar setup; read the detail for the voltage and power limits. | Yes: two solar inputs, up to 900 W combined (8 mm 300 W and High Power Port 600 W). |
| Off-grid useWhether the maker describes it running with no grid connection at all, for example in a cabin, van or off-grid home. Backup only means it covers power cuts but needs the grid the rest of the time. | Yes: it runs devices with no grid connection when charged by solar panels; Goal Zero markets it for camping, overlanding and power outages. |
| Housing and warranty | |
| Dimensions (L × W × H)Check the space before you buy, including room around it for airflow and cables. | 40 × 28.9 × 30.52 cm (15.7 × 11.4 × 12.02 in), as listed (Goal Zero does not say which side is which) |
| WeightMatters for lifting, wall mounting and moving it. | 23.93 kg (52.75 lb); the guide rounds it to 24 kg |
| Operating temperatureThe range it is rated to work in. Cold and heat can reduce performance. | Charging 0 to 40 °C; discharging -20 to 40 °C |
| Storage conditionsThe temperature, humidity and recharge routine the maker recommends if you store the unit for weeks or months. | Shelf life of 12 months; see the guide for storage instructions |
| Protection ratingIP ratings show protection from dust and water. IP55 and IP65 are rated for outdoor-style exposure; check the installation guidance. | IPX4 (splashing from any direction; not suitable for submersion). Goal Zero advises against operating live loads in the rain. |
| Noise levelFan noise while working. | Not stated |
| ConnectivityHow you monitor and control it, usually through an app. | Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi a/g/n with the Goal Zero app: monitoring, ultrafast charging switch, port control, energy history and over-the-air updates |
| CertificationsSafety and grid standards the maker says the product meets. | UL 2743 (third-party tested by a nationally recognised test lab) and FCC |
| WarrantyThe period the maker covers. Read the terms: conditions and capacity guarantees differ. | 5 years |
How long will it run your devices?

The estimate assumes 85% of the rated capacity is usable after conversion losses. Goal Zero does not state this figure, so we use a cautious assumption. Real running times vary with temperature, battery age and how each device draws power.

Rules where you live
A portable power station is not wired into your home, so it is simple to use almost anywhere. This model is built for 120 V, 60 Hz supplies, so check that it matches the socket and voltage where you live. Connecting one to your home circuits to power the house is different, and the rules for that vary by country. See our country guides for the rules, incentives and prices where you live.

Common questions about Goal Zero Yeti 1500
Is the new Goal Zero Yeti 1500 the same as the Yeti 1500X?
No. Goal Zero says the new Yeti 1500 has a 2,000 W inverter, twice the AC ports, ultrafast charging from 0 to 80% in under an hour, LiFePO4 cells rated for over 4,000 cycles instead of NMC, and an IPX4 rating.
Can the Yeti 1500 be expanded?
No. Goal Zero says the 6th generation Yeti 1000 and 1500 are not compatible with the Yeti Link expansion module or the Yeti Tank expansion batteries from earlier generations.
Is the Yeti 1500 the same as a home battery?
No. It is a portable power station that you plug devices into. An installed home battery is wired into your electrics by an electrician. See our guide to plug-in and installed home batteries.
