Goal Zero Yeti 700 Portable Power Station - 677Wh LiFePO4

Our review of the Goal Zero Yeti 700 shows it is a solid choice for campers, tailgaters, and anyone needing a reliable emergency power source; the single biggest reason to buy is the large 677 watt hour LiFePO4 battery which delivers steady, long-lasting energy in a compact, transportable package. Built to be water resistant and dustproof, and supplied with a Boulder 100 briefcase solar panel, this unit is aimed at people who prioritize durability and the option to recharge from solar while off-grid.

Key Features

• 677 Wh LiFePO4 battery: Provides sustained portable power for devices and small appliances over extended outings or during short power outages.
• Rugged, weather resistant build: Water resistant and dustproof construction protects the unit in outdoor conditions and makes it suitable for campsite use.
• Solar ready with Boulder 100: Includes a briefcase solar panel so users can recharge from sunlight and reduce reliance on wall outlets while off-grid.
• Versatile usage: Designed to run phones, lights, small appliances, and accessories for camping, tailgating, or home backup scenarios.
• Portable design: Compact and relatively lightweight for a 677 Wh unit, making it easier to move between vehicles and storage.

Who It's For

The Yeti 700 suits outdoorsy users who need a dependable, transportable power source that can handle multi-night trips when paired with solar, and homeowners who want a compact backup for essential devices. Its rugged construction benefits those who expect exposure to dust and occasional wet conditions.

Those who need very long runtime for heavy appliances or who require a fully weatherproof, submersion-rated unit should look at larger capacity or differently rated systems. If absolute minimal weight is the top priority, there are lighter ultra-compact options with much lower capacity.
