The Goal Zero Yeti 300 is a compact 297Wh LiFePO4 power station with a 300W AC inverter (600W surge) and a solid port mix: 2 AC outlets, 2 USB-A, 1 USB-C PD (18W), and 12V car output. Recharges from wall (4–6 hours), solar (up to 100W input), or car. Weighs 7.5 lbs and measures 9.6 × 6.7 × 6.3 inches — highly portable for camping, tailgating, van life, and light home backup. LiFePO4 cells rated for ~3000 cycles (~10 years daily use). Includes UPS passthrough and basic app control. Well-regarded in r/Camping and r/SolarDIY for reliability and brand trust, though solar recharge is slower than larger competitors and real usable capacity sits closer to 270Wh after system losses. Goal Zero is a category leader with strong reputation for durability.
