HOW TO INSTALL

Tools you’ll need: Screwdriver

1. Turn off all the output ports and unplug the Yeti from any power source.

2. Open the lid of the Yeti and remove the expansion module carriage from the Yeti by removing the six screws and sliding out the carriage.

a. Use both hands to work the expansion module carriage out of

its position.

3. Take note of the positive and negative terminals on the Yeti’s module port, as well as on the Link’s blue connector. Insert the blue connector into the module port on the Yeti, matching positive to positive, negative to negative.

4. Insert the micro-USB connector on the Link into the micro-USB port on the Yeti.

5. Gently set the Link into place, tucking the cables into the opening.

6. Using the provided four screws, secure the Link into place.

7. Using the 8mm port, plug the power source into the Link.

8. Using the External Battery Connector, connect the Tank Expansion Battery (sold separately) to the Link.

9. When the power source is correctly plugged in, the Input Charge Indicator light will turn blue. When the Tank is correctly connected to the Link and the power source is plugged in, the Lead-Acid State of Charge Indicator light will begin flashing green. NOTE: Upon plug-in, all LEDs will turn on, then off before correct lights are displayed. This may take up to 30 seconds.

10. Power source will charge the Yeti first. When the Yeti is fully charged, power will begin to store in the Tank.

The 8mm input port on the Link is the only way to charge both the Yeti and Tank. Input ports on the Yeti display will only charge the Yeti, not the Tank.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: I installed my Link into my Yeti, connected my batteries, and I’m not

showing a charge. What’s going on?

A: Upon initial installation, the Link needs time to identify which type of Yeti

you own in order to maximize performance. It can take up to 30 seconds to start operating.

Q: I’m charging my Yeti and it is connected to one or more Tank batteries,

but my Tank batteries are not filling up. What should I do?

A: First, make sure you are using the input on your Link to charge your

system. This input is the only way to charge both your Tank(s) and Yeti at the same time. If you are using the correct input and still having a problem, try resetting by reinstalling your Link.

Q: Can I use third party, non-Goal Zero lead-acid batteries with the Link?

A: Yes, you can use any 12V SLA or AGM deep cycle lead acid battery with

the Link. However, you will need a Goal Zero Female Link Chaining Cable to connect your batteries to the Link.

Q: If I’m using my own third party lead acid batteries, how do I wire them

up?

A: When connecting multiple 12V lead-acid batteries to your Link, be sure

to connect the batteries in parallel. Parallel connections will increase your current rating, but the voltage will stay the same.

WARNING: Connecting batteries in series will increase the voltage, causing

damage to the unit and possible personal injury or death.

Q: How many lead acid batteries can I plug into the Link?

A: You can attach as many 12V lead-acid batteries to your Link as you’d like.

Q: How fast will the Link charge the Tank(s) using the Yeti power supply?

A: Plugging the Yeti power supply into your Link will provide 5A of power into

your Tank. At this rate, it will take around 20 hours to charge each Tank.

Q: Why is my Link only charging my Yeti up to 98%?

A: The Link will only charge a first generation Yeti Lithium to 98%. This

protection is in place to protect and prolong the life of your battery. Second generation Yeti Lithium power stations equipped with the latest firmware updates can be charged to 100%.
