Weego Intros New Compact Jump Starters

Packed with Innovation, Technology and Safety, Weego's New Products are Designed to Be the Most Reliable and Best-Performing, Portable Jump Starters in the World

WESTAMPTON, N.J. – Weego, innovator of portable jump starters and rechargeable battery packs, announced today the addition of three, new jump starters to the Weego family. Models have been created to complete a line of jump starters that can jump start virtually all gas and diesel engines, charge phones and tablets, power 12V accessories and light the way using many of the same design cues, technologies and feature-sets already launched in Weego 44. Each successive model within the series targets larger engine displacements, increasing starting power and additional innovative features. The line consists of Weego 22, the award-winning Weego 44 and Weego 66 along with a high-value, jump-starting-only, 'special' model, called Weego 22S.

"Our U.S. product design and engineering team have been working extremely hard to build upon the success that we are already seeing with Weego 44," said Gerry Toscani, CEO of

Weego. "These three product extensions ultimately create a cohesive full line, offering a model for anyone that loves to boat, camp, fish, adventure ride, and more. From moms to mechanics, road warriors to seasoned boaters, a new Weego is available to end dead-battery panic. We have a jump starter for any size engine, any size budget!"

Weego 22 and 22S – Big Power in a Small Package

Weego 22 and 22S are designed with the personal watercraft (PWC), kayak and small-boat community in mind. Measuring just a little larger than a smartphone, both jump starters deliver 300 amps of peak power. They are perfect to drop in a ditch bag or slip under a seat to ensure a boater is ready for an unexpected dead battery. Both the 22 and 22S jump starters come with patents-pending Smarty Clamps™ complete with an in-line smart box of lights and sounds to guide the user through a safe and successful jump-start process every time. Unique to these models is the new, pinch-point tip jaw design that allows a better connection on small terminals – common on personal watercraft batteries.

Weego 22 and 22S Features: • Starts boat, car, truck, motorcycle, PWC, snowmobiles or ATV gas engines up to 5L (diesel up to 2.5L) • Smarty Clamps have comprehensive safety protections built in and feature: o An extra-wide opening plus, power to both sides of the jaws guarantee a successful connection o Pinch-point tips on each jaw means an improved bite on small battery terminals found on motorcycles, PWCs, snowmobiles and ATVs o Ergonomic grips and 20-inch cables ensure easy handling and storage • 'Surf 'n turf' ready with water, dust and dirt resistance built in • Recharges in just 1.5 hours with included micro-USB cord and provides up to 3-years of standby power on a single charge • Offers over 1,000 full charging cycles • Ideal operating temperature range from -4-degrees Fahrenheit to 140-degrees Fahrenheit Weego 22 Additional Features: • Detect-O-Matic™ USB charger automatically provides fastest charge to phones, tablets and other portable devices • 250 lumen dual LED flashlight illuminates up to 11 hours with strobe and SOS modes that last up to 22 hours on a single charge • Hook and lanyard to hang from vehicle's hood or over a remote work area for additional task lighting • DC charger provides convenient, on-the-go recharging • IP65 rated for water, dust and dirt resistance • Water-resistant zipper bag ensures worry-free storage

Weego 66 – Big Power for Big Jump Starts

Not to be outdone by its smaller brothers, Weego 66 packs a peak 600-amp punch and provides plenty of innovative features while still being compact enough to store in tight spaces such as storage lockers and emergency kits. Weego 66 is capable of jump starting any gas engine up to 10 liters or a 5-liter diesel. The included Smarty Clamps provide all the same built-in safety protections of the other models to guarantee safe yet simple jump starts every time. Large jaws on these clamps ensure a tight bite on boat, car and truck battery terminals. Weego 66 also provides the full complement of charging, powering and lighting features found in Weego 44.

Weego 66 Features:

• Starts car, truck, boat, motorcycle, ATV gas engines up to 10L (diesel up to 5L) • Smarty Clamps have comprehensive safety protections built in and include a smart box that guides the user through a safe and simple jump by a series of lights and sounds o An extra-wide opening, improved bite on the battery terminals and power to both sides of the jaws guarantee a successful connection o Ergonomic grips and extra-long 24-inch cables ensure easier handling with improved access when connecting to battery terminals • Detect-O-Matic USB charger automatically provides fastest charge to phones, tablets and other portable devices • 12V and 19V outputs to power accessories and charge laptops • 600 lumen dual LED flashlight illuminates up to 18 hours with strobe and SOS modes that last up to 36 hours on a single charge • Hook and lanyard to hang from a vehicle's hood or over a remote work area for additional task lighting • Surf 'n turf approved - IP65 rated for water, dust and dirt resistance; a weather-tight zipper-bag is included for worry-free storage • Recharges in just 3 hours with included wall and car chargers and provides up to 3years of standby power on a single charge • Offers over 1,000 full charging cycles • Ideal operating temperature range from -4-degrees Fahrenheit to 140-degrees Fahrenheit

All of the new models feature safety protections with Smarty Clamps playing a pivotal role in alerting the user to any issues. Connection Detection technology indicates proper connections to 12-volt systems. Reverse Polarity Detection, Over-Heat Protection, Power Surge Protection and Anti-Spark Protection are built in for users' peace of mind. All Weego models are independent lab tested and backed by a 'Crazy Long' 18-month warranty.

"We knew immediately when designing Weego 44 that it would be extremely important to provide the same quality and targeted feature-sets of jumping, charging, powering and lighting to different-sized jump starters. Not only should our products be easy to use, they should be

easy to buy," said Toscani. "As I like to say, when it comes to portable power we've got your number!"
