How this score is computed
We score the hardware using sourced specifications and independently attributed measurements. Seven sub-scores form a 0–100 composite, grouped into four buyer pillars. The score is price-independent: a sale changes what you pay, while this analysis evaluates the station's capabilities within its size class.
| Pillar | Built from |
|---|---|
| Power | Capacity & expansion + Output & versatility |
| Trust | Trust & reliability + Durability & longevity |
| Charging | Charging & solar |
| Livability | Portability + Quiet / livability |
Scores are cohort-relative — each model is ranked against others in its size class. Missing inputs renormalize out rather than scoring zero. Incomplete evidence can leave a sub-score unavailable; it does not establish that a model performs well. Any figure resting on a documented estimate is tagged est.

How many full charge-and-drain cycles before the battery drops to its rated threshold (shown alongside — brands rate to different thresholds, so never compare bare cycle counts).
The type of battery cell. LiFePO4 (LFP) cells last far more cycles and are more thermally stable than older lithium-ion (NMC) cells.
The battery's nameplate energy capacity — the headline number on the box. Battery-side usable and AC-delivered capacity are shown separately.
The remaining-capacity level the cycle rating is measured to. 3,000 cycles to 80% is a stronger battery than 3,000 cycles to 70% — always read the two numbers together.

Quick answers
Each answer restates a sourced figure from elsewhere on this page — nothing new, nothing guessed.
- How many milliamp-hours (mAh) is the Goal Zero Yeti 300?
- Its manufacturer-claimed capacity is 296.96 Wh. A mAh conversion also needs the battery's nominal voltage: mAh = Wh × 1,000 ÷ V. Our record has no sourced nominal battery voltage, so we leave the mAh figure unspecified. USB output voltage is not a substitute for battery voltage. Compare watt-hours across power stations.
- How much capacity does the Goal Zero Yeti 300 deliver through an AC outlet?
- About 252 Wh of the rated 296.96 Wh reaches an AC outlet from a full charge — an estimate after our published 15% inverter-loss constant (marked est. on this page).
- What is the cycle-life rating of the Goal Zero Yeti 300?
- 4,000 cycles to 80% remaining capacity, manufacturer-claimed. A cycle rating is not a calendar-life guarantee.
