How to Charge Your Willow Go® with the Dual Port USB Charger

The Willow Go® wearable breast pump is designed for busy moms who need freedom and flexibility. But to keep it running smoothly, you need to know how to charge it properly. The dual port USB charger is a convenient accessory that lets you charge your pump quickly and efficiently. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about charging your Willow Go®.

From understanding the battery life to maximizing charging speed, we've got you covered. Whether you're a new mom or a seasoned pro, these tips will ensure your pump is always ready when you are.

Understanding Your Willow Go® Battery

The Willow Go® is equipped with a rechargeable battery that provides hours of pumping on a single charge. The exact battery life can vary based on usage, but on average, you can expect several pumping sessions before needing to recharge. It's important to keep an eye on the battery indicator lights on the pump to know when it's time to charge.

The battery is designed to last for the lifetime of the pump, but proper charging habits can extend its overall lifespan. Avoid letting the battery fully drain before recharging, as this can put stress on the battery cells. Instead, aim to charge when the battery drops to around 20-30%.

• Check the battery indicator lights: green means full, yellow means medium, red means low.
• Avoid charging overnight every day; a quick top-up is fine.
• If you notice a decrease in battery life, it may be time to contact support.

Using the Dual Port USB Charger

The dual port USB charger is a versatile accessory that allows you to charge two devices at once. This is perfect for moms who need to charge their Willow Go® pump and their phone or other devices simultaneously. The charger comes with two USB ports, so you can plug in two charging cables at the same time.

To charge your Willow Go®, simply connect the USB cable to the charging port on the pump and plug the other end into one of the USB ports on the charger. The charger can be plugged into a wall outlet, and it will provide a fast and reliable charge. This is especially handy when you're traveling or at work, as you can charge multiple devices without needing extra outlets.

• Use the original charging cable that came with your pump for best results.
• The dual port charger is compatible with most USB cables.
• You can charge your pump and your phone simultaneously with this charger.

Tips for Fast and Efficient Charging

To get the fastest charging speed, use a wall outlet rather than a computer or laptop USB port. The dual port USB charger is designed to deliver optimal power output, but the source matters. Plugging into a wall outlet ensures a consistent power supply, which can reduce charging time significantly.

Additionally, avoid using your pump while it's charging. While the Willow Go® can technically be used while plugged in, it's not recommended as it can slow down the charging process and generate extra heat. For the best battery health, let it charge fully before your next pumping session.

• Charge your pump in a cool, dry place to prevent overheating.
• If you're in a hurry, a 15-minute charge can give you enough power for one pumping session.
• Keep your charging accessories, like the Willow Go® Backup Parts Set and the Willow Go® Pump and Anywhere Case, handy so you're always prepared.

Troubleshooting Common Charging Issues

If your Willow Go® isn't charging, there are a few things you can check. First, ensure that the charging cable is securely connected to both the pump and the charger. Sometimes, a loose connection can prevent charging. Next, try a different USB port on the charger or a different outlet to rule out power issues.

If the pump still doesn't charge, inspect the charging port for any debris or damage. You can gently clean it with a dry, soft cloth. If the problem persists, it may be time to replace the charging cable or contact customer support for further assistance.

• Check the charging cable for any signs of wear or damage.
• Try using a different outlet or USB port.
• If your pump is still under warranty, contact Willow support for a replacement.

Charging your Willow Go® with the dual port USB charger is simple and convenient. By following these tips, you can ensure your pump is always ready for your next pumping session.
