Yeti X 600W Power Supply, Fast Charger for 1500X/3000X

Like all products from Goal Zero, this rapid charger is expensive, but it does decrease the charging time dramatically compared with the charged included with the Yeti battery. This one will charge from the wall in 6 hours or so, compared with 12-18 for the brick that comes with your system. Why they don't include the rapid charger as standard still amazes me. If you're in a situation with power going in and out, it's important to quickly charge the station between outages. It's like buying a car with three wheels. You have to buy that 4th wheel to make it work properly, so why wasn't that included in the price?

I got this to charge my Yeti 1000X and hopefully cut down on generator time while camping off grid. It arrived just a day before a 2-week camping trip which turned out to be very cloudy, so solar was almost a non-option. I'd estimate it cut my charging times by 75%. I was using a small Honda 1000EU generator. Love it.

If you use your power station any significant amount this charger is incredibly helpful. The 220w that came with my Goal Zero takes FOREVER to charge it up. This charger saves HOURS!!!

I own a pair of these 600w power supplies that charge my 3000w GoalZero battery packs. I can charge from close to 0% to full in about two hours. These work great.

It still gets hot but not nearly to the point of the original power supply. The reason for replacing this one was that the original power supply got so hot that it actually melted the glue that kept the plastic top and bottom on. Though it did stay together you could pull it apart and that's when I figured it was way too hot. This one with an aluminum top does a better job at dispersing the heat and it does not get nearly as hot as the original. Definitely worth getting as replacement

Arrived on time in two day as expected. Great product, charged my Yetti X 3000 quickly. Glad that I purchased it. Works so well I bought another one for my Yeti 1500X.

When I first unboxed in my Yeti 1500x The battery was at 80%. I plugged in the charger that came with it and it stated 12 hours until it was topped off. I think that may have changed to 8 or 9 after it was charging for a couple minutes, but it was still a substantial time. I immediately wondered what I would do if I used up the battery. Would I have to leave it plugged into a wall for a day and a half.... Enter this expensive charging brick. I plugged it into my Yeti today at 90%, it said it would be fully charged in a little over a half hour. I unplugged it and plugged the normal charger in, that said it would be fully charged in a little over 4 hours. So it works. Kind of a necessity if you have a large Yeti. Still its very expensive.

If you are using an AC inverter because the power is going on and off, you don't want it to take 12 hours or more to recharge. The 120-watt charger that came with the Yeti 1500x is as slow as a three-legged tortoise. This 600-watt unit took my battery pack ("generator" in GZ parlance) from about 9% to 100% in three hours. Imagine travelling and having to find a public place to plug in your exhausted GZ. With the standard charger, you'll need a motel room for the night. It does get warm, but not ridiculously hot like some imply. Way too big to fit in the storage area. Goal Zero is high quality stuff but you always get to pay top dollar for everything. Don't get me started about GZ solar panel cables. ...

I used this product only once to charge my Yeti 1500x. It worked until the power station was at 60% and then turned itself off. I checked the breaker at the source and that wasn't tripped. I turned the 600w power supply off and on and now, when I turn it on, all I hear is a click within the 600w power supply, the fan doesn't turn on and it does not provide any power to the Yeti 1500x. Double checked this by acquiring the original power supply that was provided with my goal zero yeti 1500x and that's working just fine. I'm outside my return window for this product so now it's just a very expensive paper weight.
