What it actually runs
Usable energy ≈ 3,395 Wh after our standard 85% inverter-efficiency assumption. Methodology
| CPAP overnightCPAP, humidifier off (40 W × 8 h) | ~85 h continuous · 10.6 days at typical daily use |
|---|---|
| EssentialsFridge + wifi + 3 lights (~190 W continuous) | ~18 h continuous · 2.0 days at typical daily use |
| Storm kitFridge + sump pump + lights + phones (~1,000 W) | ~3.4 h continuous · 0.8 days at typical daily use |

How long will it run YOUR appliance?
Solar recharge
The Yeti PRO 4000 accepts up to 3,000 W of solar input — panels beyond that sit idle. To sustain an essentials load (~1,680 Wh/day) off-grid you'd need roughly 470 W of panels, within this unit’s cap — sun permitting, it can run essentials indefinitely.
Compatible kits: Goal Zero Boulder 200 (200 W) · Goal Zero Ranger 300 Briefcase (300 W) — proprietary connector; third-party MC4 panels need an adapter.

Common questions
How long will the Goal Zero Yeti PRO 4000 run a refrigerator?
About 23 hours of compressor running time — which at a realistic duty cycle covers roughly 2.8 days of normal fridge use. Estimates use usable capacity (85% of rated) and carry ±15%.
Can the Yeti PRO 4000 run a CPAP?
Yes — a 40 W CPAP runs about 10 full nights per charge without humidification. A heated humidifier roughly triples the draw and cuts nights to ~3.
Can it run a space heater?
Yes on output — a 1,500 W heater draws within this unit's 3,600 W rating — but only for ~2.3 hours. Resistive heat is the fastest way to drain any battery; an electric blanket (100 W) runs ~34 hours instead.
How fast does the Yeti PRO 4000 recharge from solar?
At its 3,000 W input cap, roughly 1.7 hours of good sun for a full refill (real-world 80% derate applied). Cloud cover stretches that substantially.
