Goal Zero Yeti 150 Runtime Calculator

Use this source-linked record to estimate runtime from tracked capacity, output, charging, and weight fields. Unknown specs stay unknown until an official or manufacturer-grade source confirms them.

Quick answer: the Goal Zero Yeti 150 stores 168 Wh and delivers up to 80 W of continuous AC power. Under this site's planning assumptions (85% inverter efficiency, 10% reserve), a steady 100 W AC load runs for roughly 1.3 hours. Last source check: 2026-08-27. This is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Runtime Starting Points

These are formula estimates using the tracked capacity, a 10% reserve, and each scenario's default wattage and duty cycle. They are planning starters, not measured runtimes.

Conservative assumes harder conditions; optimistic assumes favorable conditions.

  • This is an estimate. Real runtime changes with load, temperature, battery age, AC/DC output, and device behavior.

Source-Backed Next Steps

Good fit when

  • Capacity is a compact class; use it for small electronics and short essentials rather than high-wattage appliances.
  • Tracked AC output is 80 W, so high-draw appliances and tools need careful filtering.
  • Tracked solar input is 60 W before panel, weather, angle, and controller losses.

Watch out for

  • Surge output is tracked, but device startup behavior should still be checked against the actual load.
  • Still unknown in the source-backed record: battery chemistry, usb-c output.
  • Confidence is not marked verified; keep the linked source context visible before making a purchase or emergency plan.
