Questions about Goal Zero Sherpa

nope, it's still the (very similar) older version. (the older variant also comes with 2 USB-C PD, 2 USB A, 8mm input and a small 100W AC inverter, but only 7.5W wireless charging).

This may vary from airline to airline. Most allow batteries up to 100Wh (this product 94.72Wh). It is best to ask your airline directly for the exact guidelines. Enclosed is the information from Zurich Airport: https://www.flughafen-zuerich.ch/passagiere-und-besucher/abflug-ankunft/sicherheitskontrollen

Unfortunately not, I'm sorry.

According to the manufacturer, the two high-speed usb-c ports are both inputs and outputs. Therefore, both ports can be used to charge the battery.

This energy bank is compatible with all Target Zero solar panels. For example, it charges the following panels in the written time: Nomad 14: 12-28 h Nomad 28: 6-14 h Boulder 50: 4-8 h It can also be used to charge all normal devices such as telephones and, thanks to the 220 V socket, you can also charge digital SLR cameras or laptops, if they have a common socket. Yes, it works with all solar panels from lens zero, without any plug.

Should actually work, the ceiling needs 60 watts, the battery delivers up to 100. But I don't know how long you could operate the ceiling, because 60 watts is quite a lot...

Warning, risk of explosion or fire. Purchased on 29.6.2022, I noticed on 29.7.2024 that the battery was starting to swell and the box was deforming. Digitec doesn't want to do anything 25 months after the purchase and tells me that the product cannot be repaired and that no repair programme is planned for the Sherpa 100AC. The product is beautiful, expensive, practical, but not at all durable.

DC-to-AC converter is a consumer. Even if no device is connected to the AC... If you switch on AC, you have consumption, that is normal. (Hint: DC-to-DC (USB-A, USB-C) also needs energy, but less).

Exactly :-)

Hello, I don't use the Sherpa every day, and I haven't experienced this problem. However, there is a "Time Out" function for the AC sotie when no current is drawn for more than 5 minutes. If this function is activated and your switch consumes very little power, it's possible that the AC source cuts out unexpectedly.

No

Practically no, only in principle yes, if the charger draws less than 100W of power. But beware: this is extremely inefficient (a lot of power loss/heat). And the capacity of the Sherpa is far too small: with just under 100Wh, it can theoretically charge a car battery to about 10% - but because of the losses (charger gets warm) probably more like 5%. A car battery typically has a capacity of about 100AH at 12V, which is 1.2kWh. To charge the car battery, a GoalZero Yeti 1000X would have to be used, which, if the car battery is not completely dead, should be just enough for a charge.

The Nomad 20 is a bit too light, I think. It will charge a phone, but not much more. The 50 will do the job but you'll have to be patient and have good sunlight... A 100 would be ideal!

That can't be answered like that. You can only say how often you can charge your laptop. A MacBook Pro, for example, has a capacity between 6000 and 9000 mAh, i.e. you can fully charge it 2.5 to 4 times. Multiply this by the number of operating hours you achieve per charge and you have your value.

Connect Boulder 50 and Nomad 20 via 8mm connection (chaining) and connect the 100AC with 8mm connection to the Boulder 50. The power is added 👍

The display didn't work for me... Warranty case - approx. 2 weeks and you have a new one.

Theoretically yes, but you need an adapter 230v-12v and the problem is solved👍.

Theoretically, yes 🤭 Practically, forget it. Because even with a 21W panel it takes 3-4 (or more) days to fully charge it. Would personally recommend 50W +

No. I can read it well. Even in bright sunshine. Except when the sun shines directly on the display.

The product manager told us that a battery replacement was possible. However, this does not seem to be as simple as on the Yeti model and, more importantly, it risks blowing the manufacturer's warranty.

Hello Bruno, Well, I can't say for sure, but the connection to the powerbank "Goal Zero Sherpa 100AC" and the charging with the solar panel "Zero Nomad 100" should work without any problems! I myself charge the powerbank with the Goal Zero 50-Watt solar panel.

Did you even bother to look at the pictures of the connections? Or were you too lazy? You could have easily answered the questions yourself, except which solar panel makes sense.
