So, it finally happened. Goal Zero has finally released a couple of new Yeti power station models.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, we saw the new Yeti 200X<\/a> and Yeti 500X<\/a>. I have seen mixed reviews of the new models, mostly toward the negative side with charging and port issues.<\/p>\n Goal Zero says that it has fixed those issues with the latest 200X and 500X models, so I sure hope that the 1500X and 3000X won’t have any of those issues.<\/p>\n Related Post: Use Any Solar Panel With Goal Zero Yeti Power Stations<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n In this post, I want to give my first impressions of the newer models. Have they fixed the biggest complaints about the older Yeti 1000, 1400, and 3000?<\/p>\n Note that I don’t have hands-on experience with them, yet, so my thoughts will be based on the specifications and ratings.<\/strong><\/p>\n So what has Goal Zero done with the Yeti 1500X and 3000X? Well, I like lists, so let’s make one.<\/p>\n Here are the full specs of the new Yeti models:<\/p>\n Yeti 1500X\/3000X:<\/strong><\/p>\n Just like with the older Yeti 1400 and 3000, the differences between the two aren’t many. The difference is the battery capacity and weight\/dimensions.<\/p>\n The 1500X has a 1516Wh battery capacity, while the 3000X can store 3032Wh.<\/p>\n The 1500X weighs 45.6 pounds, versus the 69.8 pounds of the 3000X.<\/p>\n Another thing that is different between the two is the wall chargers included with the power stations. The 1500X has a 120W charger, while the Yeti 3000X has a 230W charger.<\/p>\n While the upgrades to the Yeti are great, here are a couple of things I would like to see in the next upgrade.<\/p>\n I do recommend the new Goal Zero Yeti power stations based on their specifications, but I haven’t tested one myself yet so take my recommendation with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n As always, they come at a price, and if you had the time, knowledge, and skill, you could build something much better on your own. But the Yeti is the complete package and I am planning on buying one of the newer Yeti X’s later this year.<\/p>\n Goal Zero is about to release the new Yeti 1000X and Yeti 6000X as well, so that’s what’s up next. I also have hopes that we’re going to see a Yeti Expansion battery soon that uses lithium batteries instead of lead-acid, but that might not happen for a while.<\/p>\n What do you think about the new Yeti 1500X and 3000X?
