What it Powers

400+ Hours
* Full-size refrigerator runtimes from the Yeti 1250 are dependent on several factors, including
the year, make and model of your refrigerator, as well as its volume, fullness and usage. We
actively test a variety of refrigerators to determine an average runtime. For the longest runtimes
and to optimize performance, we suggest limiting the opening and closing of refrigerator doors
when powering from the Yeti 1250.
