Question:

Have a yeti 1000 battery and a 200w goal zero solar panel suitcase. Its a very solid matched setup with one weakness. The cord from the panels to power the yeti 1000 are a bit short in certain circumstances. I need an extension cable between the 200w suitcase panels and the yeti 1000 battery. Especially when trying to keep the battery warm/stable temp and the panels in the best energy gathering location. Can you please recommend what extension cable I need to extend the range between the two products. I both off grid vehicle camp roofnest and a built 200 series Land Cruiser AND have an identical setup for my end of life mother who needs an oxygen concentrator to survive. Having the panels on her deck and the battery inside powering the oxygen concentrator which MUST remain indoors can be a challenge easily solved by extension cords between components. Thank you for your time and reply.

To extend the distance between your Goal Zero Yeti 1000X Lithium Portable Power Station # GZ44FR and the Boulder 200 Briefcase Solar Panel # 287-32409 we have 2 different cord lengths:

- 15' # 287-98064
- 30' # GZ42VR

Since it sounds like you're needing more flexibility with where you can place the solar panels I recommend going with the 30' length.
