The unit was beeping when the UPS driver dropped it off and the box looked like it had been opened ... the manual says the beeping means the battery is discharged and to plug it in immediately. Unfortunately, it seems the battery was damaged because it will not charge. I cannot exchange it because they are out of stock. The Gearhead was awesome in helping me return it for a refund!

This should be the first thing you pack in your car when you head out on the road for any amount of time. It has made such a difference on my road trips and i can't imagine not having one. WHICH IS WHY...... i must tell you...... the disclaimer saying that this battery must stay charged or if you hear it beeping to charge it immediately. IS NOT LYING. if you let this battery die all the way and let it chirp..... you will cry because your battery is officially dead. Sometimes you can try and do the restart by disconnecting and connecting the battery cables. but unfortunately that didn't work for me. and i had to buy a new one. it will not be covered under warranty if that happens. so be warned. BUT that being said. i bought a new one happily because of how awesome it is. I can get multiple camera charges, phone charges, you name it. over a multi day trip no problem.

It's simple, it's small, holds a charge forever and powers everything I need in my van. Perfect with boulder solar panels for long adventures out. Love it with my lanterns and Goalzero lights. I suppose no one would complain about a couple more USB ports but two tend to do the trick. Might not be the lightest product on the market, but I feel like it's built to last, and that's important to me when I'm spending a few hundred dollars on an item. I dig it and would totally recommend it. -@tj_skis

The Goal Zero Yeti 150 is amazing. It's great to have while car camping. You can plug in a coffee grinder, charge your phone, charge a headlamp in case it dies and even plug in a little fan if it's hot! It's even convenient to have in the house in case you lose power! I'm not sure I would recommend taking this on a backpacking trip/hike as the thing weighs quite a few pounds but it's definitely nice to have for car camping.

I bought this as a simple charging unit for my GoPros and phones when I'm dry camping or nowhere near where I'll be able to get a quick charge on any of those devices. Charging time doesn't seem to be any different from a wall socket and it handles having things plugged into both USB ports and the AC outlet very well. Small form factor, very packable, and weighs in right at 12lbs on my scale.

Picked this up to store power from a solar panel mounted to my Thule storage bin on the roof. Ran the cabling into the bin itself so that this battery can collect power while we're out on day excursions. Works perfect for getting back to camp at night and powering all our phones, cameras and lights.
