CHARGE UP YOUR WEEGO 44s

When you unpack your new Weego Jump Starter 44s for the first time, charge it up to 100% using the Micro USB Charging Cord provided. Make sure you use a USB enabled wall adapter (like the one that comes with your smartphone or tablet) with an output of 2.1A to charge as quickly as possible (output ratings are always located on the USB adapter).

It takes 2.5 hours to fully charge when using a 2.1A USB adapter. The power indicator lights will flash one by one while the unit is charging. A solid light indicates a completed level of charge, while a blinking light means the level is progressing. When all 5 lights are solid, the charging is complete.

Weego 44s will last over a year without recharging, but to keep it topped off, recharge it every 6 months or so. Weego 44s will allow you to charge & discharge your unit up to 1000 times, which will give you a good 3-5 years of active use.

JUMP STARTING

BEFORE YOU JUMP

JUMP STARTING YOUR ENGINE

Ensure your engine is completely OFF.
Securely connect the Smarty Clamps® to your Weego 44s.
Place your Weego 44s in a secure location.
Attach BLACK clamp to your battery’s negative (-) terminal, then the RED clamp to your battery’s positive (+) terminal. Adjust your Smarty Clamps® to achieve MAXIMUM contact with the terminals. Poor connections will prevent you from starting your engine! Clear off any dirt or buildup with a wire brush or a dry towel before connecting your clamps.
Check your Smarty Clamps® lights. When you have a GREEN READY light, start your engine. If the engine doesn’t start, check your Smarty Clamps® lights and wait a minute before trying again.
After a successful start, disconnect the Smarty Clamps® from your Weego 44s.
Detach the Smarty Clamps® from the battery.
You’re now good to go – be sure to run your engine for at least 15 minutes before shutting it off again so it has time to recharge your battery.

If you are having issues getting your engine started, see the Troubleshooting section on page 10 or visit myweego.com/support for further details and assistance.

WARNING! Exposed Metal Jaws May Be HOT After Use!

UNDERSTANDING YOUR Smarty Clamps®

Your Smarty Clamps® have a “smart” box that will help guide you through a jump with both sight and sound. It will let you know when it is safe to jump or if there is an error.

Solid green light, no SoundSmarty Clamps® detect that you have a good connection and you are ready to jump.Flashing Green & Red Lights + BeepingYou attached the Smarty Clamps® on the wrong terminals. Make sure the BLACK clamp is attached to the battery’s NEGATIVE (-) terminal, and the RED clamp is attached to the battery’s POSITIVE (+) terminal. If not attached properly, Weego 44s will not let you jump your engine.Flashing Red Light + BeepingThe Weego battery overheats after long cranks or excessive current draw. Detach the Smarty Clamps® from the battery and give the unit up to 3 minutes to cool down. Then, repeat steps 2-5 under Jump Starting Your Engine.

Solid Red Light, No SoundThis means the vehicle’s battery is too weak to even start, OR the system voltage of your vehicle is not compatible with your Weego 44s (for 12V vehicles ONLY).Solid Red Light + BeepingThere may be an engine size issue. If your engine is larger than what we recommend, it will try to pull more power than your Weego 44s is able to give. Please see Engine Compatibility in the owner’s manual to determine if your engine size falls within the scope of Weego 44s.

No LightEither you have a poor connection, or your battery is so dead (nearly 0 volts) that your Weego clamps cannot register a connection.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Visit www.myweego.com/support for FAQs and additional troubleshooting inquiries.

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 over discharged. 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 [email protected] 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 vehicleA 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.

ENGINE COMPATIBILITY

The larger the engine, the more power it’s going to need from your Weego to start; for this reason, we offer a range of sizes to accommodate most engines. Bear in mind, though, power demand from an engine isn’t an exact science and changes wildly from one car to the next – our ranges offer a good starting point to capture most scenarios, but unique engine setups may demand unexpected power.

Weego Jump Starters can be used on gas and diesel engines* as follows:

Weego 44s Gas 7L+ Diesel 3.5L+
Weego 44 Gas 7L+ Diesel 3.5L+
Weego 44 Gas 7L+ Diesel 3.5L+

There are a few external factors that would increase the power demand of your engine, too, of which you should keep in mind when choosing your Weego model:

Freezing temperatures
Poor vehicle battery condition
Poor engine condition
Weego charge level (works best when fully charged)
Heavy electronics in modern vehicles

Choose the model that’s best for you, and if you’re still not sure, feel free to reach out to our customer service for assistance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

If any liquid comes in contact with any part of your body, wash with cold running water and consult a doctor. Please contact us immediately at [email protected].

WEEGO 44s OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE RANGES

All lithium-ion batteries have recommended temperature ranges for different scenarios – there’s one for using your product, one for recharging your product and one for storing your product. All should be adhered to, to ensure the safety, longevity and/or performance of your Weego 44s:

For USING your Weego 44s:	Optimal Range-4˚F to 140˚F -20˚C to 60˚C	Extreme-low temps will hinder performance, while high temps pose a safety risk.
For RECHARGING your Weego 44s:	32˚F to 114˚F 0˚C to 46˚C	Lower than 32˚F produces a slow charge, while higher than 114˚F poses a safety risk
For STORING your Weego 44s:	-4˚F to 86˚F-20˚C to 30˚C	When not in use, storing your Weego 44s within this range retains its longevity. At high temps your battery ages much faster.

*DO NOT store your Weego 44s in any location in which the temperature can exceed 140˚F (ie. inside an enclosed vehicle on a hot day)

To further elaborate . . .Cold temperatures freeze the chemicals inside all batteries (including cell phone batteries) and hinder their performance (or stop it all together). Moving your battery to room temperature, such as inside your home, reverses the effects.

Hot temperatures are never good for any battery – they can diminish the lifespan of your battery, or worse, pose a safety risk to you and your device.
