Goal Zero Yeti 500
The Goal Zero Yeti 500 is a compact 499Wh LiFePO4 portable power station built for camping, tailgating, outdoor work, and light home backup. It delivers about 500W AC output with about 1000W surge capability—enough for air pumps, portable fridges, pellet grills, and similar loads in Goal Zero’s examples. The LFP pack is rated for 4000+ cycles with positioning around multi-year daily-use longevity. In high-speed AC charging mode, Goal Zero cites roughly 0–100% in about 90 minutes (their spec tables sometimes list ~85 minutes for a full AC cycle). The housing is designed for real outdoor use: IPX4 water resistance, dust-oriented testing, UL 2743 and related certifications in their materials, and quiet operation. Solar charging is supported (up to about 200W max solar input per Goal Zero’s technical specs; recharge time depends on panel wattage—about 6 hours at 100W in their comparison chart). Multiple USB and DC ports plus AC outlets make it easy to run a small off-grid setup. Weight: about 17 lbs.
Amazon’s “Style” menu includes the Yeti 500 alone and bundles (e.g. with Boulder or Nomad solar). Prices span a wide range—the band above covers typical street pricing from unit-only deals up to solar kits and seasonal promos. Choose the style that matches your setup before checkout.
