Costco has the Goal Zero Yeti 3000 watt $500 off just a few days. At 3000 watts, how many 12 volt 100 amp RV batteries would that be equal to? 3000/1200= 2.5 batteries??? Curious minds want to know.
I'd recommend against this model, as it's battery type is Li-ion NMC.
Everything I read about lithium batteries points towards the superior lithium battery type designated as LiFeO4.
LiFeO4 lithium batteries tolerate a much larger number of recharge cycles before their end of life, and they are more stable when it comes to high temperatures occuring from any internal shorts or the real dangerous situation called thermal runaway.
As far as I can tell, the only disadvantage of LiFeO4 type lithium batteries is they are a bit heavier than the Li-ion NMC type for any given capacity size.
