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.
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.
