My unit won’t power on/charge/charge past a few lights

If your unit won’t power on, won’t take a charge OR won’t charge past a few lights

then it’s been overdischarged. This can happen if the engine pulled the Weego

battery past a certain limit during a jump start. It can also happen if the Weego is

not stored with a full charge, or is not recharged every 3-6 months during storage.

Please reach out to support@myweego.com to let them know about this issue –

we’ll receive and test the overdischarged Weego, then determine if we can repair

it or if it needs to be fully replaced.

The Weego won’t jump start my vehicle

A few things can attribute to a failed jump start, which we listed below.

• Poor connection between the Weego clamps and vehicle battery:

the better the connection, the more likely you are to have a successful jump

• Dirty battery terminals: build up prevents all the available power from

reaching your battery

• Vehicle-specific compatibility issues: occasionally we come across a vehicle

that has unique power demands that a smaller model cannot fulfill, even

though it’s within our recommended engine range. In addition, vehicles with

heavier electronics can sometimes create issues when jumping with a Weego;

we mostly see this in push-to-start vehicles.

• Cold temperatures: Freezing temperatures create a lot of resistance in an

engine which means it can require up to 3.5X the usual amount of power to

get started; for example, an engine that usually needs 200A could need up to

700A in the extreme cold. In addition, if your Weego was stored in the cold

temps it will make it harder for the Weego to deliver its full power.

• Low-Charged Weego: it’s always best to work with full power on your

Weego if you can. Our jump starters perform better at 100% charge

than they do at 20% charge, especially when jumping larger engines.

The Weego 44s is a portable jump starter designed to provide a quick and reliable boost to vehicles with 12V lead-acid batteries. It is a compact, red-colored device that comes with "Smarty Clamps" for safe and easy connection to a vehicle's battery. The device is equipped with a "smart" box that guides the user through the jump-starting process using both visual (lights) and auditory (beeps) cues, indicating when it's safe to jump or if there's an error.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Weego 44s is to jump start engines, particularly those with 12V lead-acid batteries. It is not suitable for other voltage batteries (e.g., 6V, 24V) or lithium-ion batteries. Beyond jump starting, the device also serves as a portable power source, though its main focus is on vehicle starting assistance. The "Smarty Clamps" are a key component, featuring built-in intelligence to detect proper connections and potential issues, enhancing user safety and ease of use.

Important Technical Specifications:

The Weego 44s is designed for 12V lead-acid batteries. It features a 5V/2A recharge (input) port, allowing it to be charged using a Micro USB Charging Cord and a USB-enabled wall adapter with a 2.1A output for optimal charging speed. A full charge takes approximately 2.5 hours when using a 2.1A USB adapter. The device is capable of being charged and discharged up to 1000 times, providing an estimated 3-5 years of active use.

Usage Features:

Charging: Upon first use, the Weego 44s should be charged to 100% using the provided Micro USB Charging Cord and a 2.1A USB wall adapter. Indicator lights on the device show the charge level: 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% charged. During charging, the lights flash sequentially; a solid light indicates a completed charge level.
Pre-Jump Checklist: Before attempting a jump start, several safety precautions must be followed:
- Read all instructions and safety information.
- Consult the vehicle owner's manual for specific instructions.
- Ensure the product is used only on 12V lead-acid batteries.
- Never jump or operate an engine in an enclosed area.
- Put the vehicle in PARK (or NEUTRAL for boats/powersports) and engage the emergency brake.
- Turn off all vehicle electronics (air conditioner, radio, lights, etc.).
- Remove any devices attached to the Weego 44s.
- Do not leave the Weego 44s connected to the engine's battery unless actively jumping.
- Always disconnect the Smarty Clamps from the Weego 44s when not in use.
Jump Starting Procedure:
- Ensure the engine is completely OFF.
- Securely connect the Smarty Clamps to the Weego 44s.
- Place the Weego 44s in a secure location.
- Attach the BLACK clamp to the battery's negative (-) terminal, then the RED clamp to the battery's positive (+) terminal. Adjust clamps for maximum contact. Clean dirty terminals with a wire brush or dry towel if necessary.
- Check the Smarty Clamps® lights. A GREEN READY light indicates it's safe to start the engine. If the engine doesn't start, recheck the lights and wait one minute before trying again.
- After a successful start, disconnect the Smarty Clamps from the Weego 44s.
- Detach the Smarty Clamps from the battery.
- Run the engine for at least 15 minutes to allow the battery to recharge.
Smarty Clamps® Indicators: The "smart" box on the clamps provides visual and auditory feedback:
- READY (Solid Green Light, No Sound): Indicates a good connection and readiness to jump.
- REVERSE +/- (Solid Red Light + Solid Beep): Indicates clamps are connected to the wrong terminals (black to positive, red to negative). Correct the connection.
- COOL DOWN WAIT FOR (Flashing Red Light): Indicates the Weego battery is overheating due to long cranks or excessive current draw. Detach clamps from the battery and allow up to 3 minutes for the unit to cool down before retrying.
- SEE REVERSE (No Light/Flashing Green Light): Indicates a poor connection or battery voltage near 0 volts. In this case, press the BYPASS* button (which will turn the light SOLID GREEN) to override safety features and attempt to start the engine. Note: The BYPASS feature should not be used before connecting clamps to the battery or if clamps are touching each other when a GREEN LIGHT is on.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides guidance for common issues:
- Unit won't power on/charge/charge past a few lights: This suggests the unit has been overdischarged, possibly due to prolonged storage without a full charge or if the engine pulled too much power during a jump. Users are advised to contact support.
- Weego won't jump start vehicle: Potential causes include poor clamp-to-battery connection, dirty battery terminals, vehicle-specific compatibility issues (especially with heavy electronics or push-to-start vehicles), cold temperatures (which increase engine resistance and power demand), and a low-charged Weego (performance is best at 100% charge).

Maintenance Features:

Recharging: To maintain optimal performance, the Weego 44s should be recharged every 6 months, even if not in use, to keep it topped off. This prevents overdischarge and ensures the unit is ready when needed.
Storage: Store the unit with a full charge. Avoid storing it in extremely cold temperatures, as this can affect its ability to deliver full power.
Cleaning: Before connecting clamps, ensure battery terminals are clean of dirt or buildup to ensure maximum contact and efficient power transfer.
Post-Jump Engine Run: After a successful jump, run the vehicle's engine for at least 15 minutes to allow the vehicle's battery to recharge, reducing reliance on the Weego for subsequent starts.
Safety: Always disconnect the Smarty Clamps from the Weego 44s when not in use to prevent accidental contact or damage. Be aware that exposed metal jaws may become HOT after use.
