Hi Everyone.
I just picked up a Yeti 400 from Goal Zero. -> http://www.goalzero.com/shop/p/165//16:1/
I was attracted to the small form factor ease of use and I get discount pricing through my work. I plan on using as back-up power for a 12v fridge. I have no solar so charging will be done via 12v or AC power. Originally I planned on using a dual battery mounted to the vehicle but this provides options for use outside the vehicle that I had not considered.
Capacity is only 33Ah and while that should be fine for my immediate use I anticipate needing more reserve in the future. I'm pretty sure I can just daisy chain "any" 12v battery to increase the reserve. Are there any Yeti 400 users out there who can comment?
