Hello Byron,

Great question! Both the Yeti 1000 and Jackery 1000 portable power stations have 12V car ports rated at 10 amps, meaning they can supply up to 120 watts (12V x 10A) of power. However, the Everchill RV Mini Fridge # EV46RR requires 12 amps at 12 volts, equating to 144 watts (12V x 12A). Because this exceeds the maximum output of the power stations' 12V ports, they would not be able to handle the refrigerator’s power draw directly.

Instead you will want to use a power station like the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X Lithium Portable Power Station - 120V # GZ64FR. ?The Goal Zero Yeti 1500X Portable Power Station features a regulated 12V car port capable of supplying up to 13 amps, with a maximum power output of 160 watts (12V x 13A).

Where were you looking to use this set-up?

I apologize for previous email. I thought this was a 1-1 conversation with customer service. I looked more closely at the specs for the Jackery 2000 Plus and now realize it does NOT provide the 12v/12a required by the Everchill

@Byron Looks like you already figured it out Byron.

@KateF - To make connection between Yeti 1500 and Everchill, should I plug one end of a car charger into the car charger port of the Yeti, then snip off the other end of the car charger and wire it to the Everchill? I see two other ports in the 12v output area of the Yeti - can they be used to connect to the Everchill?

@Byron Byron, To connect the Everchill 4.5 cu. ft. 12V RV Mini Refrigerator # EV96RR to your Goal Zero Yeti 1500, the best method is using the 12V Anderson Powerpole output. You'll need an Anderson Powerpole to bare wire adapter (google that part and you will find it) to connect the fridge’s red (positive) and black (negative) wires to the corresponding terminals on the adapter. Then, plug it into the Yeti’s Anderson Powerpole port and enable the 12V output on the Yeti for direct, efficient power.
