Can I charge the battery with your 10 watt soar unit, and use the Coleman 40-Quart PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler at the same time?

No idea-i sent this charger to a buddy in jamaica and he told me it didnt work at all -and it wassnt worth the hassle returning it.

Not even close to being enough power to run a thermoelectric cooler with or without charging a battery.

Yes it can charge the camper battery, but I doubt if you are using a lot of watts over night that it will be enough... It is more of a strong trickle charger... You need the larger panels for dry camping. A 24 Series Battery has 85 AMP hours of power. In other words, a single bulb in the trailer draws 1.7 AMPS. Now take the number of bulbs in the unit, for example, a trailer with 15 bulbs = 27.20 AMPs. Add in a radio CD player = 5.0 AMPS. Now the furnace will draw 7.0 AMPS if it were to run for 1 hour depending on how cold at night and how the temperature is set. Even though the fridge is on gas, the board still draws power, 2.0 AMPS. Here are some examples of how much power certain items draw: 85 AMP hours 27.20 AMP bulbs 5.0 AMPS stereo 7.0 AMP furnace 2.0 fridge 41.20 total per hour ____________________________________________________________________________ 85 divided by 41.20 = 2.06 hours of battery power. Now we know that we do not have all of the lights on at the same time but you get the general idea. What can you do so you don't run out of power? First there are solar panels. We recommend a 130 watt panel with a 30 AMP regulator. This will give you 7.2 AMPS of charge per hour (with good weather conditions). Secondly, a new and upcoming idea is LED interior bulbs. They only draw 0.2 AMPS that's 3.20 AMPS verses 27.20 AMPS with the traditional bulbs. So you can see the 5 watt panel you are looking at will not even come close to helping you dry camp, but it will help maintain your charge if in storage.

Yes you can connect up to 3 100 watt Panels is what I was told when I called Goal Zero with that question (888) 794-6250. Note the internal charge controller is 10 amp. For plug and go applications I use 4 bolder 30 panels equaling 120 watts output. I also connected the Yeti to a battery bank. The 120 watts is sufficient for two computers, DVD player, tv, and phone charging simultaneously.

Yes, but you'd better take them out of the unit to recharge them. The O2 Cool Portable Tent Fan I purchased won't run off the battery pack, the contacts in the pack were manufactured incorrectly by accident (they were put in backwards). I can only run the fan off another power source, like my 12-volt portable battery pack or the AC power pack. I'm afraid I don't have much of an opinion because I don't have the success you're having.

Yes, just be sure that the battery has enough charge so you make sure not to ruin the battery. Depending on what you're running, 40 watts may be too small. Also be sure that you use the proper gauge wire for your application.

YES! As far as I know it should be possible. The only thing I would be concerned about is if the internal cooling fan made a noise while laying on it's side. The batteries are sealed and are supposed to work in any position.

I think the answer to this is pretty obvious. This cooler is just barely better than the stock one. Only meant to cool 40Watts or so.

In theory im sure you could. However each unit waivers at different loads so it will be near impossible to synch up the voltages perfectly. Modifying the heatsinks, you can actually push 200Watts through each unit. If you need to convert more power I would recommend buying a larger unit.

Yes, but beware, you probably want to charge more than just 1 battery, more like a small bank of batteries. For example, I have mine hooked up to a small bank of 8 SLA 12V batteries giving me about 1500 watts stored to power a 1200 W Inverter for appliances. It's like a solar powered battery pack so that I can work and have phone conversations in the most odd places (no generator noise in the background, just pure silence or nature noises, it's awesome). You'll want a decent charge controller (I bought a 10 Amp controller, which is overkill, but has the better charge-methods and pattern that I wanted). Good Luck!

Handy Cooler can run on 4xAA batteries but the batteries are not included but a usb cord is included. The battery life on max power is about 4 to 5 hours.

You can as long as the controller is rated at 45 watts. You will boil your battery dry if it isn't rated correctly. The three amp power supply is fine, it will not boil your battery dry. Battery tender has a help line and they are great to talk to.

I don't se why not, Just remember it has a 500W limit, you may have to add the power draw of all the components.

Not sure why you would want/need to, but sure, you could use a PSU instead of the supplied power. I have yet to use anything but the supplied PS.

Yes you can! I use it to charge my Guide 10 all the time. It is a great way to store the power for later use. Goal Zero makes some great products! Hope that helps.

I will handle that for about 5 to 8 hours and not more than that on two batteries. I have a koolatron cooler hooked to mine and it last about 8 hours

According to the website and the various questions on there. You can charge and use the YETI at the same time. Of course though if your input is less than your output then you are in fact going to drain your battery. The maximum that the company recommends charging the YETI with is 8 boulder 30s for a total of 240 watts. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. The only problem with this setup is the power adapter the one I got just keeps making a ticking sound. I was lucky I had a spare on hand to make it work.
