Troubleshooting
Why is my power supply hot?Heat is normal and can reach temperatures up to 140°F (60°C) due to the voltage conversion from AC to DC.
Why is my power station not charging?Ensure all connections are firmly plugged in. The Yeti Power Stations have built-in overcharge protection. If the unit is fully charged or near full capacity, it may not charge. Confirm functionality when the battery level is below 80%.

Common problems
Power supply feels hot
This is normal during operation as the unit converts AC to DC voltage. It can reach up to 140°F (60°C).
Power station is not charging
Check that all connections are secure. If the battery is already near full capacity (>80%), the overcharge protection may prevent charging.
Before use
- Verify your power station is a Yeti X model (1000X, 1500X, 3000X, or 6000X).
- Ensure the ambient temperature is between -20°C and 40°C.
- Use only the original AC cable provided.
- Place the unit in a well-ventilated area to allow for heat dissipation.
