Goal Zero Yeti 1500 (6th Gen): What to Know
We're disclosing this substitution because it changes the specs meaningfully, not just the name: Goal Zero's own site lists the Yeti 1500X within a 'NEW YETI 1500' collection presented as the ultrafast-recharging LiFePO4 successor to the 1500X line, and the 1500X's original nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC)-based packs have been phased out in favor of LiFePO4 cells in the new Yeti 1500. Some third-party sellers and marketplaces may still list old 1500X stock, but the current Goal Zero product, and the one we verified on Amazon under ASIN B0GMKKGQCY, is this redesigned 6th-generation Yeti 1500.
Capacity is 1,505.28Wh, positioning it between the 1024Wh-class units and the Jackery/BLUETTI 2000Wh-plus tier on this list. Rated output is 2000W continuous with a 3600W surge, and Goal Zero documents genuinely fast AC recharging for a unit this size: 0-80% in about 0.8 hours (roughly 48 minutes) and a full charge in about 1.1 hours (roughly 66 minutes), closer to the EcoFlow and Anker charge-time tier than to the multi-hour Jackery and BLUETTI figures, despite sitting in a larger capacity class than either of those two.
The standout spec here, and the reason it earns a distinct role on this list rather than just competing head-on with the Jackery, is the IPX4 weather-resistance rating, the only unit in this roundup with a documented ingress-protection rating against splashing water. That matters specifically for tent and truck-bed camping where a station might sit exposed to rain, condensation, or dust in a way a garage-stored home-backup unit wouldn't. IPX4 protects against splashing water from any direction, not submersion or heavy direct rain, so it should still be sheltered in genuinely wet conditions, but it's a meaningful edge over units with no stated ingress rating.
At 52.75 lbs (23.93kg), it's lighter than the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus and BLUETTI AC200L despite sitting close to their capacity range, though still substantially heavier than the Anker or EcoFlow units. Port selection is the widest of any unit here: 4 AC outlets, a 140W USB-C, a 60W USB-C, two 30W USB-C ports, two 18W USB-A ports, a 162W 12V auxiliary port, a 405W 12V high-power port, and two 135W 6mm output ports, the 12V high-power and 6mm ports in particular are aimed at Goal Zero's own accessory ecosystem (portable fridges, lighting kits) more than generic USB devices. Goal Zero backs the unit with a 5-year warranty and a 4,000-cycle rating supporting a claimed 10-year lifespan.
