Goal Zero Yeti 300 specs FAQ
What are the Goal Zero Yeti 300 specs?
297 Wh capacity; 350 W continuous AC; 600 W surge; 13.7 lb; LiFePO4; listed at $349.95. 13 of 19 tracked specs are published by Goal Zero on the product page we read. List price is shown separately ($349.95).
How long does the Goal Zero Yeti 300 last?
The vendor rates it for 4,000 cycles with LiFePO4 chemistry. Runtime on a given day is capacity divided by load (with inverter losses) — see our guide on how long a power station lasts.
Can the Goal Zero Yeti 300 charge from solar?
Yes — Goal Zero publishes a maximum solar input of 200 W. Ideal fill time is roughly capacity ÷ that input; real sun takes longer. See how long to charge with solar.

Who buys this brand, and why
All models →Who it is for
- Outdoor-retail shoppers who want to handle the product before buying
- Overlanders, car campers and basecamp users
- Brand-loyal outdoor households, often older than the category average
- Buyers who want lights, fridges and panels from the same brand
What they will pay extra for
- Buying an ecosystem, not a box
- A brand they can buy in a physical store
- Simplicity and ruggedness over feature count
- US support and parts
Honest drawbacks
- Capacity per dollar is generally behind the value brands
- Recharge speeds and solar input can trail the newer competitors
- Generations vary a lot — an older Yeti and a newer one are not comparable
- Line-up has churned, which complicates comparisons across years
