  "summary": "3,032 Wh Li-ion NMC station rated 2,000 W continuous pure sine (3,500 W surge) across two AC outlets, with MPPT charging, a documented 0-100% 14-hour wall charge on the included supply, and 600 W input headroom. 31.65 kg, and rated only 500 cycles.",
  "description": "The Yeti 3000X is Goal Zero's previous-generation large station and the only Li-ion NMC record in this index, which makes it a useful counterpoint to the LiFePO4 field rather than a direct competitor to it. Goal Zero publishes 3,032 Wh (10.8 V, 280.8 Ah) and 2,000 W continuous pure sine output with a 3,500 W surge, delivered through just two AC outlets. Its defining limitation is cycle life: 500 cycles to 80% capacity, roughly an eighth of the 4,000-cycle LFP units, with the discharge rate and temperature basis stated. Charging is well documented: the port accepts up to 600 W, the included 230 W supply gives an explicitly stated 0-100% time of 14 hours, and an optional 600 W supply cuts that to 6 hours. An MPPT charge controller is named in the battery specification, and simultaneous recharge and discharge is confirmed.",

    "notes": "All values are taken verbatim from the official goalzero.com Yeti 3000X specification block on 2026-07-31, which publishes a complete Ports, General and Battery Details set. An official Goal Zero user guide PDF was located on the manufacturer's own CDN and is recorded as officialManualUrl, so no third-party manual is relied on anywhere in this record. CHEMISTRY: Goal Zero states 'Cell chemistry: Li-ion NMC' explicitly, so batteryChemistry is nmc rather than the li_ion_unspecified used where a cathode is not named. This is the only NMC record in the index. acInputW=600 is the charging port maximum ('AC Wall Chargers (600W Input Max)'); the unit ships with a 230 W supply and the 600 W supply is an add-on purchase, so the recorded acRechargeTimeHours=14 is the stock configuration and the 6-hour figure applies only with the optional supply. Both are published under the heading 'RECHARGE CHARGE TIMES (0-100%)', so unlike most records in this index these are genuine full-recharge figures rather than partial claims. solarInputW=600 is the actual solar input ceiling ('Solar Charging (600W Actual Input Max)') and shares the same High Power port as AC charging. expandableBatterySupport=true rests on the documented 'Expansion Module Port ... To be used with Goal Zero expansion modules only'; no maximum system capacity is published, so maxExpandableCapacityWh is null rather than estimated. rvPortPresent=false: the complete port list contains no NEMA TT-30. upsEpsMode='unknown' because no UPS or EPS switchover claim appears in official material; 'Simultaneous Recharge & Discharge: Yes' establishes pass-through only and was not treated as a UPS claim. appControl and carChargingSupported are null because no official statement was found on this page.",

Distinct from the Yeti 3000X + Boulder 200 Briefcase solar-generator bundle and from the newer Yeti PRO 4000, which supersedes this unit in Goal Zero's range. The Yeti X 600W Power Supply is an accessory, not a separate indexed entity.",
