Goal Zero Yeti Lithium vs. Inergy K2 (Kodiak) - Max Solar Input Comparison

UPDATE: After posting, I chatted with Goal Zero tech support again and the Yeti lithium 1000, 1400, and 3000 can handle even more power than I had in the video (1,000 watts in theory, 720-750 watts is recommended by Goal Zero). I spoke to Inergy and one big limitation is you can only charge from EITHER solar OR a single wall charger OR the car charger, not a combination of as many as you want like you can on the Yeti. Here's what Goal Zero said: The PWM module can handle 360w on the Anderson input PLUS 160w between the two 8mm inputs for a total of 520 watts The MPPT module can handle 360w on the Anderson input PLUS 160w between the two 8mm inputs for a total of 520 watts So, in theory, they said you could put over 1,000 watts into the Yeti but that might cause it to get too hot so they recommend sticking to around 750 watts max. ------------------------------------------------------ - - - - Every time I post a video, I get questions about how much solar/car/wall charger input power you can connect to a Goal Zero Yeti Lithium and I agree it' super confusing. I also see lots of reviews and comparisons with the Energy Kodiak and new K2 that misrepresent how much power the Yeti 1000/1400/3000 can accept, especially when the optional MPPT module is added. This video is my attempt to give folks a clear answer to this question once and for all since their product page and manual are lacking. I've spoken multiple times to Goal Zero Support and found lots of instances of them answering this question on the Q&A section of their site. In short, the Yeti Lithium units 1000 or larger with the optional MPPT module can handle a fair amount more power (685 watts) than even the new Intergy K2 (500 watts) or older Kodiak (600 watts but may be unsafe). Here's the breakdown: Yeti with built-in PWM charger: 360 watts (Anderson Power Pole Port) Yeti with built-in PWM + MPPT charger: 685 watts (Anderson Power Pole Port) Inergy Kodiak: 600 watts (but they've had issues with overheating at this level) Inergy K2: 500 watts (probably playing their rating safer) On the Yetis, you can use any combination of inputs as long as you stay within the rated limits. The inputs can be any combination of solar, 12v car, and wall adaptors. For example, on the PWM input section you could have: 4x 100 watt solar panels summed into a single Anderson Power Pole OR 60w wall charger plugged into the 8mm PLUS a 200 watt solar panel connected to the the other 8mm input PLUS another 60 watt panel connected to the Anderson input (360 watts total). ...and a similar deal applies to the MPPT module (325 watts max) K2: https://inergytek.com/collections/sol...
