The Yeti website says specifically to not attempt to charge from a 12vdc source! The Yeti is intended to be charged from solar or 110vac.
To charge from another battery would require an inverter between the battery and Yeti.

I've spoken in depth with them on the phone about charging it, and the only reason they don't recommend 12v is because if you forget, it can kill your battery! thus, the isolator. I will be using 2x ac adaptors simultaneously, which can produce about 135W with the mppt installed, according to them. a few hours of charging is sufficient for me to do everything I need, and run my tv as well it he evenings :) thank you so much!
