How quickly does this particular panel charge the Yeti 150?

I have the Escape and it was about all day in summer. I have the Yeti 400 and I have not tried that yet. But it holds a charge a lot longer than the Escape. I daisy chain two of these panels together. I also have the solar briefcase. For what I use... These are perfect for me. Hope this helps.

I'm guessing it would charge anything fast and efficiently. Each slot has it's own chip. A very good buy.

Depends what you're plugging into. If your plugging it into a power source and just using it as a basic extension it should charge at about normal speed.

This battery is a bear. On a slow trickle it takes about a week with a 1.5amp battery tender. I think that any slow charging is good, but I would be hesitant to have solar be my primary source. I have toyed with the idea of getting a panel, but usually don't stay out long enough to justify it. These are great batteries though. I have two in parallel, and they go for days with about five years on them.

The Sunforce panel isn't listed on the Goal Zero site as being compatible with the Yeti 400 or Escape 150.Apparently the problem isn't in the output of the Sunforce panel (I'm not sure about that) but in the Sunforce connector. The Yeti site states it needs an 'input able to plug into an 8mm input or have an adapter.' Goal Zero web site has answered the questions of others re. adaptability of their solar panels and the availability of adapters. My not very direct, but probably safest suggestion for you is to contact Goal Force with exactly the query you made here.

It doesn't much matter unless your charging your battery very quickly, such as jumping it. Which isn't good for batteries anyway. I purchased the 1.1amp. I have a car that I don't drive very often the battery died and it took about a day or so to fully charge. Though slow its better for the battery. One nice feature about the 1.1 amp model is the cold charge feature. I use this feature in upstate NY because cold batteries should be charged even slower. Either way the .75 and the 1.1 amp models are both trickle chargers. So they will slowly charge your battery and turn on and off as needed. I'd say you can't go wrong with either but for 10 dollars more the 1.1 amp and it's winter charge feature is quite nice.

It really depends on the battery size. But you can usually get a lipo charged within an hour.

As the others said, it varies.But in my experience, on 200 mA it charges the fastest batteries in about four hours, and my oldest batteries take around 24 hours.

I only have two 650s but I know that it's a fairly fast charger. Much faster then the two port ones that often come with batteries or "package" deals. I know it takes about two or three hours for one 650 from empty. on 350s it's about an hour I think.

According to the Yeti 1250 specs, the unit can handle an max input of 240watts. So, eight 30 w panels is the most the Yeti 1250 can handle....assuming one can link them all together. Just for info, if one did hook up 240 watts of solar panels, the fastest, theoretically, you could charge a very low/dead battery would be 1250 divided by 240 or say 5-6 hours. This assumes 100% efficiency for the solar panels and 100% bright sunlight. Realistically, it would probably take 8-10 hours of bright sun. Sorry.....too much info.

My experience is that it takes well over a day to charge. I'm also finding that the true capacity is 50-60% of what was advertised.

5 or 6 hours for a 100 Amphour battery or faster if you use the 120 AC to run a 15 - 20 amp battery charger which I prefer

Also, make sure you remove the plastic over the solar panels, otherwise it wont charge as well. I leave mine inside my truck on the dash and it charges in 6 hours.

I've never owned the Escape 150 - but I've owned the Yeti 400 for 14 months or so. It's very reliable and always seems to surprise me how long it'll hold a charge. I use it to power the lights, small fan, and charge cell phones and cameras in my camper when off the traditional grid. One full charge on the Yeti 400 will keep things well lit for 2-3 nights. The manual does say you should store the Yeti 400 plugged into an outlet to ensure a proper charge. I don't do this, but it does seem to hold a charge regardless, for 60 days or so.

Neither, it has a small CR123A battery. You charge is via solar, hand crank or USB connection to a PC or a USB charger. I'm told the solar panel isn't very strong to charge with in the winter months and you will need to USB charge it every couple of weeks. The hand crank actually works quite well. A minute or two of cranking gets you 15-30 minutes of radio. Solar is weak but again I'm told it's because of the winter sun strength. USB seems to be working well.Dan

I'm able to do that with my Mercury 10 panel, but that basically means you're charging 2 things at once. You'll need good sun with the smaller panel, and there's no guarantee that the Goal Zero will charge. It will probably depends on the power you get from the Nomad and how much drain from the charging device.

Well we would need the specs for you're tv but if it is an led tv it should run. I have an 18 in Samsung led tv and it only draws about 24 watts so my yeti can power it for up to 7 hours at a full charge. I would guess that you would get atleast 5 hours out of the tv. Not sure about the camera specs but I don't think that will draw that much.
