Can the GOAL ZERO YETI 500X be left plugged in permanently?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is even recommended to leave the GOAL ZERO YETI 500X plugged in permanently when you are not using it for a period of time. According to the manufacturer, keeping the power station connected to a power source (AC adapter, solar panel, etc.) keeps the battery healthy, always charged, and extends its lifespan. This ensures that your YETI 500X will be ready for use at any time.

If you plan to use it regularly, you can leave the device plugged in continuously. The built-in battery management system automatically controls the charge and prevents any overcharging or damage. The LCD display allows you to monitor the charge status at any time, and you can use the station and recharge it simultaneously without any issues.

If you cannot keep the station plugged in permanently, you must fully recharge your YETI 500X at least every 3 months and store it in a cool, dry place. This quarterly maintenance is mandatory to preserve the lithium-ion battery and maintain your manufacturer's warranty. Any neglect to meet this condition may damage the battery and void the warranty.

Unlike older nickel-cadmium batteries, the lithium-ion batteries in the YETI 500X do not need to be completely discharged before recharging. On the contrary, you should avoid fully discharging them, as this would be harmful. The best care for your battery is to use it regularly and keep it connected to a power source between uses.
