Goal Zero 98105 HPP 30ft Extension Cable for Boulder 200,Multicolor

Works great for the our battery. Now we can put our panels out further

Für die Zero Powerstation und die Solarzellen Boulder das richtige Kabel mit einer ausreichenden Länge für einen flexiblen Outdoor-Einsatz.

GREAT PROFUCT, WELL MADE...

I was having a little trouble finding ratted watts for the 8mm and HPP cables from goal zero so I decided to do some testing, it turns out the type of cables you use and how long the runs are makes a big difference in power delivered to your Yeti battery pack! Below are the results from my tests, hope this helps! I hooked up two Goal Zero Bolder 100 BC solar panels and one Bolder 50 solar panel for this test these were then combined using the 4x 8mm to HPP combiner from Goal Zero. It is February in Arizona in early afternoon we had good direct sun but since it is winter the sun was not directly overhead At the panel the watt output was 162 watts which is pretty good for a winter day! I tested the following configurations over about 10-15 minutes to minimize change in suns position. As you can see below how you hook up the panels makes a huge difference, upgrading to an HPP cable could provide you a significant boost in power to your Yeti battery depending on your current setup, may be much cheaper than buying an additional solar panel! Testing with Yeti 1000 +4x 8MM to HPP Combiner -162 Watts + 30’ HPP Cable -161-162 Watts (Basically no loss) +30’ 8mm Cable – 147 Watts (Loss of 15 Watts) +30’ 8mm Cable x 2 (60’ run) -102 Watts (Loss of 60 Watts OUCH!!) Also cables were getting warm +30’ HPP Cable to. 8mm adapter -162 Watts (Basically no loss) +30’ HPP Cable to. 8mm adapter + 30’ 8MM Cable (60’ run) -133 Watts (Loss of 29 Watts) +30’ HPP Cable to. 8mm adapter + 30’ 8MM Cable x2 (90’ run) -91 Watts (Loss of 71 Watts!!!) Testing with Yeti 400 +120 Watts - 30’ HPP Cable to. 8mm adapter *These results would be same for Sherpa, or Yeti 200x / Yeti 150 the charge controllers on these units are limited to 120 watt input and will restrict inputs that provide more poser to protect internal components Conclusion, you might be able to get a significant boost in performance with a simple upgrade to wiring. Since the Yeti 400 limits the 8mm input to 120 watts I’d probably only use the 8mm cables for applications of 120 watts or under, otherwise you are leaving a significant amount of power on the table especially if your have more than one 30’ cable connected together. . The HPP cables are rated for 45 amps, the Yeti solar panels put out between 14-22 watts, this works out to a minimum watt capacity of 630 watts, but beware, longer runs with watt outputs over 300 may have some loss of total output. Hope this helps! Wish Goal Zero would publish some of this information on their website but I did the work for you so you don’t’ have to buy everything to find out -Cheers!

Great product!
