Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Lithium and Boulder 100 Watts Foldable Solar Panel

We recently acquired new tools/gadget to improve our off-grid camping experience.  I have acquired a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Lithium and Boulder 100 Watts Foldable Solar Panel.  After an extensive research, I selected an all-in-one integrated solution for harness solar power and provide electricity to some equipment when we go off-grid camping.

You can find the kit info here.  https://www.goalzero.com/shop/kits/goal-zero-yeti-1000-lithium-power-station-boulder-100-solar-kit/


In additional, I also purchased the add-on MPPT charge controller to get more efficient on solar power charging.


I also purchased 6mm to 12V female cigarette adapter.  This adapter is required to run my ARB fridge.



During my visit to Overland Expo East,  I got to try out my new Goal Zero setup.  I have the solar panel setup and charged my car battery.  My car has been powering my ARB fridge for the last 2 day.  I want to make sure my car battery is still have enough juice to start the car.  The Goal Zero Yeti 1000 battery pack already working hard charging my electronic for the last 2 day.  Although still plenty of capacity, I want to try to charge the battery pack via the new MPPT controller.  So far, the investment is really good.  I recharged my car battery and also top off the Goal Zero Battery pack with a full day of good sunlight charge.
