Weego Produces Two New-and-Improved Models to Wow Outdoor Enthusiasts and Pros

WESTAMPTON, N.J. (September 25, 2018) – Weego announces the launch of its new and improved, innovative Jump Starting Power Packs, Weego 44 and Weego 66. These compact, rugged power packs feature increased power and additional features to ensure that users are never left without the ease of use and power they need to keep moving.

Spec’d out with 10 percent more true cranking amps of power, Weego 66 now offers an incredible 660 cranking amps (2500 peak amps) while Weego 44 has increased to 440 cranking amps (2100 peak amps). Tremendous power for such a compact size, Weego Jump Starting Power Packs are built to satisfy any of the jump starting needs of outdoor enthusiasts and professionals alike, including tow operators on land and sea doing multiple jumps a day. Users get the safest, most powerful, reliable and compact portable jump starters  on the market.

The new and improved Weego 44 is also outfitted with Weego’s AutoBoost™ technology. Built into Weego 66, the technology enhances the jump starting experience for extra-challenging, low-voltage vehicle batteries. With AutoBoost, maximum power is automatically sent to dead batteries (batteries down to 1/2 volt) without an override button which can compromise safety. This new feature eliminates all guesswork but is still incredibly safe for the user.

“We listened and responded to what our customers want,” said Gerry Toscani, CEO, Weego. “The upgraded capabilities of Weego 44 and 66 provide increased power and ease of use at an unmatched value. The fact that our Jump Starting Power Packs can jump at such a low voltage without compromising safety for the user, their Weego or their vehicle is a testament to our continuous improvement initiatives. Weego’s mission is to always give customers safe, reliable, easy-to-use products that last. This is what sets us apart from the rest.”

Also new to both products are space-saving, vertical-format packaging. Their on-shelf presence is more arresting for the brick-and-mortar shopper because of the bright graphics with clear callouts to the increased cranking amps, updated Jump Starting Power Pack name and more expansive gas and diesel engine size compatibilities. Each sku is identified with new model numbers: 44.1 and 66.1.

The upgraded Weego 44 will be available this October and the upgraded Weego 66 will debut in December.

Light Enough to Lift with Just One Finger, Crankenstein is the Smartest, Safest, and Most Compact Marine-Grade Portable Jump Starter in the World.

WESTAMPTON, N.J. (February 25, 2019) - Weego, innovators of portable jump starters announced today the launch of Crankenstein™ Jump Starting 12V/24V Power Pack - a powerful, new, combination 12- and 24-volt portable jump starting solution, designed for the marine market. Crankenstein revolutionizes jump starting with industry-first features built into a compact power pack that is just nine pounds – 80% lighter than comparable lead-acid jump starters. Powered by the most reliable lithium-iron phosphate batteries, Crankenstein is ruggedly built to be the smartest, safest, most powerful and most compact solution available.

“When you are out in the middle of the ocean, having reliable power is critical,” said Gerry Toscani, CEO of Weego. “Any time spent dealing with a dead battery while adrift or at anchor can mean the difference between a good day on the water and a bad one. Instead of stopping everything to try to get a tow over VHF or spotty cellular reception, you can reach for Crankenstein with literally one finger for the power you need. Along with pleasure boaters, it’s a real time-saver and workhorse for boat yards, fleet managers and service professionals too!”

Powerful
Crankenstein provides 1,200 cranking amps and 5,000 peak amps for 12-volt systems and 600 cranking amps and 5,000 peak amps for 24-volt systems – even capable of jumping vessels over 30-feet. Unlike many portable jump starters, Weego Crankenstein will jump start 0-volt batteries safely and automatically, eliminating down time until a replacement battery is installed.

Smart
A premium OLED screen clearly walks boaters through the jump and communicates warning messages, light brightness level, connection quality, and more for intuitive, effective and safe use. To help understand the vessel’s batteries’ state of health, a built-in voltmeter is included to measure voltage. Crankenstein’s patent pending Connection Detection technology displays the quality of battery terminal connections so users can adjust the clamps to achieve maximum connectivity with minimum resistance; this reduces the amount of time required making adjustments and initiating multiple start-attempts with lead-acid jump boxes. In addition, Weego’s Hotfoot™ technology allows operation in temperatures as low as -28 degrees Fahrenheit, warming up Crankenstein’s internal batteries to -5 degrees Fahrenheit for an assured jump in extreme cold. Crankenstein features auto on and off for all functions to simplify start-up and preserve battery life.

Safe
Weighing in at only nine pounds, Crankenstein is the lightest professional jump starting power pack on the market today guaranteeing it to be the easiest to transport, store and use on any boat. The premium, high-performance LiFePO4 battery is ultra-stable, making it an incredibly safe lithium chemistry for jumps requiring durability and resistance to potential over-heating situations. Crankenstein is built with reverse polarity, anti-spark, over-current, over-discharge, voltage detection and temperature protections to ensure the user, equipment and Crankenstein are safe.

Rugged
Crankenstein’s reinforced case is built to withstand the rigors of repeated use and handling in the harshest of marine environments. It is IP65 rated for water, dust and dirt resistance, perfect for storing in lockers, dock boxes or other unprotected environments. And it works in extreme temperatures with an operating range of -28 to +140 degrees Fahrenheit. Built for years of daily use, Crankenstein’s battery is rated for up to 2,000 life cycles and will hold a single charge for over one year.

Versatile
The unique clamps with tapered tips are powered on both sides guaranteeing all of Crankenstein’s power is available for a jump, even in the tightest battery compartments or bilge spaces. They open extra wide with half the effort of traditional clamps for the easiest yet most secure connection possible. An intense 1,000 lumen LED work light with adjustable focal length and brightness level is built-in offering 15 hours of extra light during night watches, at 100% intensity on a single charge. Crankenstein also has an SOS and strobe feature for emergencies, lasting up to 30 hours. The unit can be charged in just six hours while on the go with the supplied USB-C DC charger or from a standard AC wall outlet. It includes two USB-A ports with Detect-o-Matic™ fast-charge technology and a USB-C port for phones and tablets, capable of charging cell phones up to 10 times on a single charge. A 12V/15A CLA port accepts power inverters, air pumps for inflatables, and other 12-volt equipped tools and gear.

Quality
Crankenstein is designed and engineered in the USA to meet exacting, professional-mariner requirements, is lab tested both externally and internally for quality assurance and is covered under a one-year warranty. It is certified to the standards of the BC, FCC, CE and RoHS. Each unit includes a USB-C 15V/2.4A wall charger, a 12V DC USB-C car charger, a 40-inch charging cable, storage bag and a quick start guide. 

Crankenstein is priced at $699.
