I was just gifted a 500x. I use 2 Zamp 180w suitcase panels to keep the BB lithium batt's charged in our Airstream. They each have a controller and charge thru the 7pin umbilical. How would I use one or both of my panels to charge the 500x?
Thank's

Hi Bob,
Thank you for contacting Goal zero. You would only be able to use one of those solar panels since the Yeti 500X has a maximum input of 120W. If you're able to, you'll need to bypass the charge controller on the solar panel as well since they wouldn't be compatible by having to controllers in line. Also, the 8mm port on the Yeti 500x is proprietary. If you were able to adapt the connection to a 45A Anderson connection, and then use our Anderson to 8mm adapter cable, you'd be able to connect use the solar panel with the unit.

Charly,
Thank you for the replay.
As it turns out I’m not able to use the 500x at all and have to return it.
The relevant word is ‘proprietary’. I understand you want to sell your panels. But some of us already have a working solar system, and would just like to have a backup.
Thank’s…
Bob C.

I returned the 500x as I was not going to modify the Zamp Suitcase.
