Reviving Goal Zero Yeti Link To Charge My Lithium Starting Batteries
Here's how I modified a repaired a YetiLink 120W power supply originally used for my GoalZero Yeti 3000X Lithium battery bank. At 16V it’s perfect for charging the 4S lithium starting batteries I built for my riding lawnmower and mini dozer. I show each step and my thought process behind it, in an effort to demonstrate how non-engineers can understand, repair, and adapt devices for new uses. Repair covers removal of MOSFETs, capacitors, using an electronic parts tester, reading electrical specifications, hot air and Metcal soldering, desoldering, PCB inspection, and component replacement.
