Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 150 W. **Surge:** 150 W. **Voltage:** 120 V AC. No inrush spike, consistent draw across flow settings. Field note: Verify power station inverter can deliver 150 W continuously for 24-hour cycles. Monitor battery state of charge during overnight operation. Can I run this concentrator on battery backup during a power outage? Only if your power source can supply at least 150W continuous and 150W surge at 120V. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 350W continuous. **Surge:** 350W (no inrush spike). **Voltage requirement:** 120V AC. Resistive heating element drives steady draw with minimal transient. Field note: Ensure power station inverter handles 350W continuous without thermal cutoff. Voltage deviation beyond ±5% may trigger device fault alarms. Can I run this on a portable power station during an outage? Only if your power source can supply at least 350W continuous and 350W surge at 120V. Verify capacity in watt-hours exceeds your runtime need. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 310W continuous. **Surge:** 310W (no starting transient). **Voltage:** requires 120V AC. The device demands 7440 Wh over a 24-hour period. Field note: Medical oxygen concentrators tolerate no interruption. Verify the power station supports pass-through charging during mains operation. Can I run this oxygen concentrator on a portable power station during an outage? Only if your power source can supply at least 310W continuous and 310W surge at 120V.

Generator Insights
The 7200 W surge can handle typical compressor-based appliances like well pumps, refrigerators, and air conditioning startup events on 120V circuits. The 3600 W continuous rating supports sustained operation once inrush currents settle, making this unit a strong option for heavy 120V backup loads.
This unit uses LFP chemistry and draws from manufacturer documentation for its output specifications. The 7200 W surge rating reflects the inverter's transient capacity, not a thermal or safety certification.

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running range: 150W (portable SimplyGo) to 350W (stationary EverFlo). Surge: modeled equal to running — no OEM startup current published for any oxygen concentrator in this class. Voltage: 120V AC.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~8h. Stationary concentrators operate 24 hours daily at constant draw, consuming 7,440-8,400 Wh per day. Portable units draw less but still require continuous power for uninterrupted oxygen delivery.
Field Note
Oxygen concentrators are life-critical — always have a backup power source. Use pure sine wave output only. Verify pass-through charging capability so the power station stays charged while the concentrator runs on mains power.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 power a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?
Yes. The Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 provides 3600W running / 7200W surge. The Portable Oxygen Concentrator needs 403W / 403W (including 15% buffer). That leaves 3197W of running headroom and 6797W of surge margin.
How long will the Yeti Pro 4000 run a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?
Approximately 8.0 hours, based on the Portable Oxygen Concentrator's 350W draw and the Yeti Pro 4000's 3993.6Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 1045W allocated to the Portable Oxygen Concentrator, the Yeti Pro 4000 still has ~1485W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
