Will the Goal Zero Yeti 1500 run a power tools (drill)?

Yes — the Yeti 1500 runs a power tools (drill) comfortably

Its 2000W continuous output easily covers the 700W draw, with 3600W of surge on tap for startup.

Estimated runtime

about 1.6 hours

on a single full charge

Est. usable (AC): 1,152 Wh

Appliance draw: 700 W

Continuous output: 2000 W

How we calculated this

We start from the Goal Zero Yeti 1500's 1,152 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 1,505 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the power tools (drill)'s 700W draw:

1,152 Wh ÷ 700 W ≈ 1.6 hours

Heads up: a power tools (drill) is a motor/compressor load that spikes 2–3× on startup. The Goal Zero Yeti 1500's 2000W continuous / 3600W surge output has plenty of headroom for that spike.

Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
