Looking back-this is the time of the year when the winter in the northeastern United States gradually heats up. I live by the sea, and power outages are normal. After more than 2 years of power outages, I know the value of preparing a few powerful/powerful power plants so that all the mobile equipment and other smaller items I need can be used for at least a few hours during a power outage that lasts only for a while . The Goal Zero Yeti 200X portable power station should be another important addition to my collection. Let's see!
The Goal Zero Yeti 200X portable power station is the lightest power station in its product line. It provides 187 watt-hour lithium battery and the latest fast charging technology in a compact, ultra-portable design. These functions include 2 USB-A ports, 1 USB=C port, 1 USB-C 60W power supply port, 1 AC inverter port, 1 6mm port and 1 12V car port.

The power station is made of material that looks like ABS plastic, and possibly some metal. On the front are all power ports, and on the back are the device charging ports. There is also an interactive LED display on the front. There is a sturdy built-in handle on the top of the Power Station, and 4 rubber feet under the Station.
This Goal Zero Yeti 200X is very simple to use. The first thing I use out of the box is to plug it in and fully charge it. After fully charged, the LED displays too %. Then I was left to plug in my device. I rarely let any of my devices reach a zero charge level, so I test the device by charging other devices while charging them. Even if multiple devices are connected, the Yeti 200 X does not seem to get a little warmer, and it is very quiet. The image below shows how I used this Goal Zero Yeti 200X to charge/power some of my devices:
Of all the power stations I own, I rank this one in the top two. It is well constructed, provides a sufficient number and types of ports, is portable and durable, and can be roughed outdoors. Goal Zero is known for making rugged, fully functional and reliable power stations, and this power station meets their standards. well done! !
Price: $299.95 Where to buy: Goal Zero website and Amazon Source: A sample of this review is provided by Goal Zero
[I think the power list shown in brackets should be W instead of Wh. ] This is a good price for how much Wh the Power Station can store.
