At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers choosing between a mid-capacity portable station and a high-capacity home backup system. The SuperBase V4600 delivers 3800W of running power and 4608 Wh of battery capacity, nearly doubling the Yeti 1500X on both counts.
Its LFP chemistry is rated for 3000 cycles versus 500 for the Yeti's NMC cells, a six-fold lifespan advantage that matters for daily or seasonal use. Zendure also includes UPS functionality with a 1ms switchover, making it viable as an always-on home backup.
The tradeoff is significant: the V4600 weighs 121.3 lbs, almost triple the Yeti's 45.6 lbs, and its 4608 Wh battery needs roughly 16.5 hours to fill via solar at 1500W max input. The Yeti 1500X charges in about 5.4 hours with up to 600W of solar, keeping it practical for portable setups and shorter trips.
