Question about Goal Zero Solar Power Generator Yeti 1000X
I have had the Yeti 1000X in the kitchen since spring. 10m of cable leads out to the balcony, where the Briefcase 200 panels are located. On sunny days, the power is enough to watch TV, charge the laptop and smartphone and Roomba too. So it's actually very cool! But somehow I don't feel comfortable having such a big battery in the flat all the time, because of the risk of fire. Now the question: Does anyone have a solution to operate the PowerStation outside? A ventilated box where it never overheats and never gets wet?
I also have the 1000 indoors and have no concerns. Outside, in summer and winter, you will exceed or fall below the temperature range of the device, I would have more respect for that.
As an idea if you still want to go outside with it: A styro box (Landi for fruit) with holes, that would equalise the temperature somewhat, although if it is 3 days below zero, it is also below zero there.
Another alternative is an aluminium box like those used by campers (often on the roof), they don't cost the earth and are waterproof (but you have to provide ventilation!).
In the aluminium box, it would also be "more safely enclosed" inside, but here, too, make sure it is ventilated.
