≈ 1.8 days (24h/day) · Safe motor start buffer (88.9% margin).
full-size fridge running (240 W max) and start-up (1,200 W max) draw fit the Goal Zero Yeti PRO 4000's 3,600 W continuous / 7,200 W surge ratings.
ENERGY STAR top-freezer, doors kept closed (36% duty cycle, 40 W avg)
20–25 cu ft fridge at ~41% compressor duty cycle (65 W avg)
older or French-door unit in a warm kitchen at ~45% duty cycle with defrost (108 W avg)
≈ 1.8 days (24h/day)
System standby power: 22W (23.8% of total draw)
Provides 4× CEE 7/3 (230V), 1× IEC Commando (32A) (120V 60Hz).
Pure sine wave inverter output. Safe for all standard household appliances.
Inductive motor/compressor load with 5× starting surge (motor inrush) (88.9% worst-case surge margin).
Wall AC fast charge at up to 1800W (120m to 80%, 150m to 100%).
Safe envelope verified: Starting surge (800W) remains comfortably below the 7200W surge trip line, with steady-state operation settling into the safe continuous zone at 160W.
About 43 hours on AC power, with the full-size fridge averaging 65 W (20–25 cu ft fridge at ~41% compressor duty cycle (65 W avg)). The Goal Zero Yeti PRO 4000 then draws about 92 W from its battery, including 22 W for the inverter itself. Best case: about 62 hours (ENERGY STAR top-freezer, doors kept closed (36% duty cycle, 40 W avg)). Worst case: about 29 hours (older or French-door unit in a warm kitchen at ~45% duty cycle with defrost (108 W avg)).
Yes. The full-size fridge's start-up peak of about 800 W (up to 1,200 W) fits within the Goal Zero Yeti PRO 4000's 7,200 W surge rating, with 83% headroom even in the worst case.
That simple division gives 61 hours, but the Goal Zero Yeti PRO 4000's inverter draws about 22 W whenever its AC outlets are on. At this light load that's 24% of everything the battery supplies, and inverter conversion losses take a further share. The idle figure comes from Goal Zero.
On wall power: about 120 minutes to 80% and 150 minutes to full (Goal Zero figures). With its maximum 3,000 W of solar input connected, expect about 2,400 W in full sun, so a full recharge takes roughly 1.8 hours of full sun, so it can refill in a single day with 4 peak sun hours.
