Goal Zero Yeti 500 Portable Power Station


Description

The Goal Zero Yeti 500 is a 6th generation, 499 watt-hour portable power station built for adventurers, campers, and anyone who needs reliable off-grid power. Compact and rugged, it's engineered to handle the outdoors - mud, dirt, dust, and water - while remaining light enough to grab and go at just 16 pounds. With an upgraded LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery and 4,000+ lifecycle rating, this power station is built to last daily use for over 10 years.

Whether you're powering a campsite, running appliances during a home power outage, or keeping devices charged at a tailgate, the Yeti 500 delivers. Three flexible charging methods - solar, wall outlet, and car adapter - keep it ready whenever you need it. Pair it with the Goal Zero Power App for full wireless monitoring and control of your power usage from virtually anywhere.


Key Features

  • 499.2 Wh LiFePO4 Battery: Lithium Iron Phosphate cell chemistry delivers superior longevity and safety over traditional lithium-ion batteries.
  • 4,000+ Lifecycles: Use it daily for over 10 years before reaching 80% of original capacity - one of the longest lifespans in its class.

  • IPX4 Water Resistance & UL2743 Certified: Designed to withstand outdoor exposure including rain, splashing, particulates, and extreme temperatures from -4 F to 140 F.
  • Multiple Output Ports: USB-A x2 (18W), USB-C PD 100W, USB-C QC 30W x2, 12V aux port, 12V 6mm port, and a pure sine wave AC outlet - 770W total combined output.

FAQ

Is the Yeti 500 portable?

Yes. The Yeti 500 has an easy-carry handle and weighs just under 16 pounds, making it genuinely easy to transport to campsites, tailgates, beach trips, or anywhere else you need power on the go.

Can I use my Yeti 500 outside?

Yes. The Yeti 500 carries an IPX4 water resistance rating, meaning it can handle rain, splashing, and outdoor exposure. It also passes UL2743 testing for particulates. While you should avoid submerging it or leaving it in heavy downpours, it's designed for real outdoor use and can be rinsed clean when needed.

How quickly can I charge the Yeti 500?

In High-Speed Mode via AC wall outlet, the Yeti 500 charges from 0% to 100% in approximately 1.4 hours (500W input). In Low-Speed Mode (the factory default), it charges in about 3 hours. Low-Speed Mode keeps the unit quieter and extends battery life - you can switch modes by pressing and holding the INFO button and then pressing the AC button on the unit itself.

Can I charge the Yeti 500 with solar panels?

Absolutely. The Yeti 500 accepts up to 200W of solar input via the 8mm low voltage input port. With a 200W panel (like the Goal Zero Nomad 200 or Boulder 200), you can fully recharge it in approximately 2.8 hours of good sunlight. Compatible Goal Zero solar panels include the Nomad 50, Nomad 100, Nomad 200, Boulder 100, and Boulder 200.

Can I use the Yeti 500 as a home backup power supply during an outage?

Yes. The Yeti 500 can power a full-size refrigerator for up to six hours during an outage, or keep your WiFi router running so you can monitor weather and outage updates. With 500W of continuous AC output, it handles most essential home appliances and electronics with ease.

What devices can the Yeti 500 power?

The Yeti 500 can power a wide range of devices. Some real-world estimates: a 60" LED TV for about 5.3 hours, a CPAP machine for about 7 hours, a pellet grill for about 7 hours, a laptop for about 8 recharges, a smartphone for about 35 recharges, and a mini projector for about 14 hours. It can also run an Alta 50 portable fridge for over 2 days.

Does the Yeti 500 work with the Goal Zero Power App?

Yes. The Yeti 500 connects via Bluetooth 4.1 and Wi-Fi (a/g/n) to the Goal Zero Power App. The app lets you monitor battery level, track power flow in and out, turn individual ports on or off, and choose between Performance, Battery Saver, and Balance charge profiles - all from your smartphone.
