Whether it is for back-up power, camping, tailgating, or light duty construction, the Yeti 1250 generator gets it done.
What’s in the box?

When you open the package you will find of course the Goal Zero Yeti 1250 solar generator, followed by 2 Boulder 30 solar panels, one fabric carrying case for panels and one roll cart. As you can see, the great thing is that the solar panels are included. This amazed me when I bought the generator.
Dimensions and specific features

The dimensions are 11 x 16 x 14.5″ / 27.9 x 40.6 x 36.8 cm and it weighs 46.7 kg or 103 Ibs (bit heavy).

It utilizes a 1200Wh AGM lead acid battery that can charge devices from smart phones and laptops, to televisions and small refrigerators. Since it uses a deep cycle battery, it works without noise and produces no exhaust. There are of course three ways of charging: With a wall charger (72W) it takes about 18 hours, with a car charger (30W) about 44 hours, and with the Boulder 30 solar panels about 40-80 hours.

The front display panel provides readouts of incoming and outgoing power, and battery status in 20% increments. The Yeti provides an array of output options for any energy need. It has three standard 110VAC grounded wall plugs, three standard USB ports, a 12VDC car/vehicle port and two 6mm 12VDC plug ports. For additional battery power, the Yeti is chainable with other units(!).
Let’s talk about it

To be honest, I was skeptical about it at first… But when I opened it, and tested it, I was really amazed! It has a bunch of convenient plugs for charging things, plugs for receiving a charge, and a display to monitor battery charge. It powers all the devices mentioned in specifications and this is more than enough for me. All in all I am very pleased with this system and I would highly recommend it for anyone needing backup power.
