Overview

The all-new 6th-generation Yeti 1500 is Goal Zero's mid/high anchor: a 1,505.28 Wh LiFePO4 pack rated for 4,000 cycles to 80%, four AC outlets sharing 2,000 W continuous pure sine output with a 3,600 W surge, four USB-C ports (up to 140 W), and a 405 W High Power Port. Wall charging accepts 1,500 W for an official 1.1-hour full recharge, and combined solar input reaches 900 W (300 W via the 8 mm input plus 600 W via the HPP). Automatic Power Switching moves from grid to battery in under 15 ms; Goal Zero's FAQ markets this as UPS-usable, but the unit carries no UPS certification — classified as marketed-UPS. Unlike previous generations, 6G Yetis are not compatible with expansion tanks.

Variant note: This is the ALL-NEW 6th-generation Yeti 1500 (SKU 37300, LiFePO4, 1,505.28 Wh, 2,000 W), NOT the older Yeti 1500X (1,516 Wh, NMC-era) which Goal Zero still lists as a separate product. Disambiguated by chemistry, capacity, SKU, product URL ('lifepo4-battery'), and the 6G user guide.

Data note: Official-source conflicts preserved: weight (page '52.75 lbs (23.93kg)' vs manual '53 lbs (24kg)' — page value used); dimensions and capacity differ at rounding level only (manual cm values used for mm; page's more precise 1,505.28 Wh used for capacity). Solar 900 W is the stated combined maximum (8 mm 300 W + HPP 600 W). APS bypass mode is limited to 1,752 W (14.6 A). The 6 mm ports are mapped to dc5521 and the proprietary HPP output to barrel_dc_other per the controlled vocabulary. MPPT not mentioned in any official source — null.

Use cases

  • Home backup for most appliances under 2,000 W continuous
  • Jobsite loads with 3,600 W surge headroom
  • Off-grid/RV-adjacent use with up to 900 W of combined solar input
  • Computer/network backup via sub-15 ms automatic power switching

Strengths and weaknesses

Strengths

  • 2,000 W continuous / 3,600 W surge — the strongest inverter in this index's Goal Zero lineup
  • Official 1.1 h full recharge at 1,500 W AC input
  • 900 W combined solar input across two inputs
  • 4,000-cycle LiFePO4 rating with a 5-year warranty
  • Four USB-C ports up to 140 W

Weaknesses

  • 23.93 kg — a two-hand carry
  • No RV (TT-30) port despite RV-adjacent positioning
  • 6th-gen platform drops expansion-battery compatibility entirely
  • 'UPS' positioning is marketing: APS switchover with no UPS certification
  • MPPT not documented in official sources
