Will Not Jump a Completely Dead Battery/Keyless Ignition
Purchased to jump 6 cars that set for static for about 2 months. If failed on all of them for the following two issues... Problem 1: If a battery is completely dead, the adapter prevents it from channeling power to the cables. This is more than likely on there to protect the Weego, but if you can't jump a completely dead battery, what is the point? If a vehicle with a bad battery can be jumped, the alternator can at least get you to your next location to find a replacement battery. Problem 2: You can't use this on a car with a keyless ignition. This is the most disturbing since a large percentage of cars sold over the past 10 years have keyless ignition. The Weego looks for a system draw before allowing power to flow. On an old car, you turn the key on and a power draw is then sent to the battery/Weego from the ignition, which turns the Weego's adapter on (adapter light green). You can then start the car. For a keyless ignition, the system needs a few seconds of power to start the electronics/ignition/fuel pump before allowing the car to start. If there is low power, it doesn't go through this mode and consequently never sends a power draw to the Weego long enough for it to turn on and allow power to flow. Basically, the thing works as long as your bad isn't completely dead or you have a traditional key-activated ignition. Considering it's purpose in life, this thing was a waste of money. Lesson learned.
