1. Once Link Module is installed into the Yeti you will be able to attach Goal

Zero Yeti Expansion Tanks. To do this take the male EC8 cable from the

Expansion Tank and plug it into the EC8 External Battery Connector on

the Link Module that is installed in the Yeti Power Station.

2. Then take either the included power supply or a Goal Zero Solar Panel

(sold separately) and plug the 8mm barrel connector (blue ring) into the

8mm input port on the Link Module.

Note: Do not plug a tank into itself when multiple tanks are

connected.

3. Power will flow into the battery and then into the Yeti power station.

Once the power station is full the power will then start filling up the

Tank.

NOTE

1. The 8mm port on the Link is the only way to charge both the Yeti and

Tank. Input ports on the Yeti display will only charge the Yeti, not the

Tank.

2. When Link and Tank are properly installed, power passes through the

8mm port to the Tank and then into the Yeti. Thus, without a Tank or

third party battery attached, you cannot charge the Yeti directly using

the 8mm port on the Link.

WARNING: Do not exceed 22V input for the module. Doing

so can cause serious damage to the Yeti and potential bodily

injury. Take note of voltages when using third party solar panels

with the module. Do not chain solar panels in series (positive

to negative, positive to negative, etc.), as this can result in

dangerously high voltages.

Quickly and easily recharge a Yeti Lithium (1000 or higher) from your vehicle

while on the move. Charge rates vary from 25A - 80A Max Current (300W -

750W) depending on Yeti Lithium size and capacity.

How it Works

When placed in “Vehicle Mode,” the Yeti Link allows your Yeti Lithium to safely

pull power from your vehicle’s alternator while the vehicle is running and stop

pulling power when the vehicle is off.

NOTE: Yeti Link must be in Vehicle Mode to utilize this feature or it will drain

your vehicle’s battery. All Links come standard set in “Tank Mode.”

1. Once Link is installed in Yeti, switch Link from Tank Mode to Vehicle

Mode by pushing the pinhole reset button on top of the Link four times.

2. Indicator lights will turn on and blink together when the Link is

successfully placed in Vehicle Mode.

3. To switch back to Tank Mode, press pinhole reset button on top of the

Link four more times. Indicator lights will scroll from bottom to top

individually when the Link is successfully placed in Tank Mode. NOTE:

Do NOT place back in Tank Mode while connected to your vehicle.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: I’m charging my Yeti and it is connected to one or more Tank batteries,

but my Tank batteries are not filling up. What should I do?

A: First, make sure you are using the input on your Link to charge your

system. This input is the only way to charge both your Tank(s) and Yeti

at the same time. If you are using the correct input and still having a

problem, try resetting by reinstalling your Link.

Q: I installed my Link into my Yeti, connected my batteries, and I’m not

showing a charge. What’s going on?

A: Upon initial installation, the Link needs time to identify which type of Yeti

you own in order to maximize performance. It can take up to 30 seconds

to start operating.

14

Q: Can I use third party, non-Goal Zero lead-acid batteries with the Link?

A: Although not recommended yes, you can use any 12V SLA or AGM deep

cycle lead acid battery with the Link. However, you will need a Goal Zero

Male Link Chaining Cable to connect your batteries to the Link.

Q: If I’m using my own third party lead acid batteries, how do I wire them up?

A: When connecting multiple 12V lead-acid batteries to your Link, be sure

to connect the batteries in parallel. Parallel connections will increase your

current rating, but the voltage will stay the same.

WARNING: Connecting batteries in series will increase the voltage,

causing damage to the unit and possible personal injury or death.

Q: How many lead acid batteries can I plug into the Link?

A: You can attach as many 12V lead-acid batteries to your Link as you’d like.

Q: Why is my Link only charging my Yeti up to 98%?

A: The Link will only charge a Newer generation Yeti Lithium to 98%. This

protection is in place to protect and prolong the life of your battery. Second

generation Yeti Lithium power stations equipped with the latest firmware

updates can be charged to 100%.

Q. Once you put the Link into Vehicle mode, does it stay in Vehicle mode until

you put it back into Tank Mode?

A. The Yeti Link will stay in Vehicle mode until you manually change it back to

Tank mode. If moving the unit from your vehicle to then chain it to the Tank

batteries in your home, you will need to change the Link from Vehicle Mode

to Tank Mode.

Q. Would the solar still feed the Vehicle battery when the Vehicle is not

running?

A. Yes, if you have a solar panel plugged directly into the 8mm port on the Yeti

Link, the panel will be charging both the Yeti and your Vehicle battery when

it isn’t running.
