What Can A Goal Zero Yeti 400 Power?<\/h2>\n

The Goal Zero Yeti 400 is a wonderful little power station. Perfect for not only campers and vandwellers, but also great as an emergency battery to keep at home in case you lose power.<\/p>\n

Before we get started about what a Yeti 400 can power and not, we need to understand that there are two Yeti 400’s. There is the No products found.<\/span>, and the Yeti 400 Lithium<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To answer the title of the post, both the Yeti 400 and the Yeti 400 Lithium can power a TV, as long as that TV doesn’t use more than 300 watts. That is the most the inverter in the Yeti 400’s can handle continously.<\/p>\n

Now, which one is the best out of the two? The Yeti 400 Lithium<\/a>, no doubt. It’s lighter, has a higher watt-hour capacity, uses a lithium battery, and it has an extra USB port.<\/p>\n

How Long Can The Yeti 400 Lithium Power A TV?<\/h2>\n

The Yeti 400 Lithium has a 428 watt hour battery. If we, for example, look at a TV like the popular TCL 32S327 32-Inch 1080p<\/a>, it uses 45 watts at most.<\/p>\n

Now, we need to remember that the Yeti 400 Lithium uses an inverter to turn the 12V battery power into 120V AC power, so we should predict some power loss. An 85% inverter efficiency is common.<\/p>\n

So let’s do the math: 428*0.85=363.8\/45=8.08 hours<\/p>\n

What this tells us is that you could expect a 45 watt TV to run for about 8 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You could invest in a 12V TV like the Jensen JTV19DC<\/a>, wire it to a cigarette lighter power adapter<\/a> and plug it into the 12V output port on the Yeti as well.<\/p>\n

This way the 85% inverter efficiency wouldn’t apply, although it still wouldn’t be 100% efficient.<\/p>\n

The Jensen TV uses less than 2 amps, so since the Yeti 400 Lithium has a 39.6 amp hour battery, you could watch TV for almost 20 hours before running low<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pair it with a compatible solar panel like the Rockpals 100W (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>, and you could watch TV all day without losing any battery on a sunny day.<\/p>\n

Can the Yeti 400 power a gaming console?<\/h2>\n

The Yeti 400 and Yeti 400 Lithium has a built-in inverter that can handle up to 300 watts continuously.<\/p>\n

If you take a look at the most popular gaming consoles available today, the PS4 uses about 137W while gaming, Xbox one 112W, and the Wii U about 34W. So the Yeti will definitely be able to power a gaming console.<\/p>\n

But if your TV uses about 60 watts and you’re playing the PS4, you’d only be able to game for almost two hours.<\/p>\n
