    Any use for the Yeti Lithium Power Station?

    They say it can be recharged via solar (slowly) or off of 230v. Seems like an interesting idea, but I'm not technically familiar enough with solar and lithium batteries in RV applications to know if this is useful.

    I think that is 230W (not volts) from a standard 120v wall outlet. From the wall outlet recharge time is 14 Hr. Recharge time from solar depends on how much solar you have (wattage of panels and brightness/hours of sunlight.

    Hmmm...seems like it would take too long to recharge to be useful for RV folks. You'd need two of them, so one recharges while the other is being used.
