Learn how to use a 12V regulated cable to improve compatibility with 12V devices on your Goal Zero Yeti Lithium power station. Step-by-step setup and common mistakes.
Quick answer
Use the Yeti Lithium 12V Regulated Cable to get a consistent 12V output from your Goal Zero Yeti Lithium power station, making it compatible with sensitive 12V devices.
Why a regulated cable matters
Many 12V devices expect a steady voltage. Without regulation, the output from your Yeti Lithium can fluctuate, potentially causing issues or poor performance. The Yeti Lithium 12V Regulated Cable solves this by maintaining a consistent voltage.
This cable is specifically designed for Yeti Lithium power stations. If you have a Yeti X or Yeti Lead Acid model, you don't need it—they already include 12V regulation.
How to set up your 12V regulated cable
- Check compatibility: Verify your power station is a Yeti Lithium model (e.g., Yeti 500X, Yeti 1000 Lithium). The cable won't work with Yeti X or Yeti Lead Acid units. If you own a Yeti X, you don't need this cable—regulation is built in.
- Connect the cable to the High Power Port: Plug the male end of the Yeti Lithium 12V Regulated Cable into the High Power Port on your Yeti Lithium power station. Ensure it's fully seated. Do not force it; if it doesn't fit, double-check the port type.
- Attach your 12V device: Connect your 12V device to the female end of the cable. The cable supports up to 15A, so confirm your device draws less than that. Check your device's current draw—exceeding 15A may damage the cable or device.
- Power on and test: Turn on your Yeti power station. The regulated 12V output is now active. Test your device to ensure it powers up and operates normally. If the device doesn't work, verify the cable is fully connected and the device is 12V compatible.
