Quick Answer
To use the Willow Go dual port USB charger, plug it into a power source, connect your Willow Go pump's charging cable, and let it charge until the indicator light shows full. For faster sessions, charge both pumps simultaneously using the two ports, and always carry a backup power bank for on-the-go top-ups.
The Willow Go wearable breast pump is designed for hands-free convenience, but keeping it powered is key to uninterrupted pumping sessions. The dual port USB charger lets you charge two pumps at once, cutting down downtime and ensuring you're ready when you need to pump.
In this guide, we'll walk you through the charging process, share tips to maximize battery life, and explain how to keep your pump charged while traveling. Whether you're a new mom or a seasoned pumper, these steps will help you get the most from your Willow Go.
Understanding the Willow Go Dual Port USB Charger
The Willow Go dual port USB charger is a practical accessory that allows you to charge two Willow Go pumps simultaneously. This is especially useful if you pump both breasts at once, as both pumps will be ready at the same time. The charger is compact and travel-friendly, making it easy to pack in your Pump Anywhere Case or bag.
Pump Anywhere Case
Before you start, ensure you have the correct charging cable for your Willow Go. The pump typically comes with its own cable, but if you're using a third-party cable, make sure it's compatible to avoid slow charging or damage. Always use the charger that came with your pump or a certified replacement.
- Check that the charger is plugged into a working outlet or USB port.
- Use the dual ports to charge both pumps at once for faster prep.
- Keep the charger in a cool, dry place to avoid overheating.
Step-by-Step Charging Process
To charge your Willow Go, first plug the dual port USB charger into a power source. Then, connect one end of the charging cable to the charger and the other end to the charging port on your pump. You'll see a light indicator that shows the charging status. A solid light typically means charging, while a green light indicates a full charge.
For optimal battery health, avoid letting the pump completely drain before recharging. Instead, charge it when the battery level drops to around 20-30%. This helps prolong the overall lifespan of the battery. Also, avoid overcharging by unplugging once the pump is fully charged.
- Charge both pumps at the same time to save time.
- Monitor the indicator light to know when charging is complete.
- Unplug after full charge to prevent battery strain.
Maximizing Willow Go Battery Life
Your Willow Go's battery life depends on usage, but you can extend it by following a few simple practices. First, ensure the pump is fully charged before each session. Second, reduce the suction level if you don't need maximum strength, as higher settings drain the battery faster. Third, keep the pump away from extreme temperatures, as heat or cold can degrade battery performance.
If you're pumping on the go, consider carrying a portable power bank compatible with your charger. This way, you can top up your pump between sessions without needing to find an outlet. The Pump Anywhere Case is designed to hold your pump and accessories, making it easy to carry a power bank and charger together.
- Charge fully before each session to avoid mid-pump shutdowns.
- Use lower suction settings when possible to save battery.
- Store the pump at room temperature to protect the battery.
Charging Steps for Faster Pumping Sessions
- Plug in the dual port charger: Connect the dual port USB charger to a power outlet or USB port. Ensure it's securely plugged in and the power source is working. Checkpoint: If the charger doesn't light up, try a different outlet or cable.
- Connect your Willow Go pumps: Attach each pump's charging cable to the charger. Plug the other end into the charging port on each Willow Go pump. You should see the indicator light turn on. Checkpoint: Make sure both pumps are connected properly; a loose connection may prevent charging.

- Prepare for on-the-go charging: If you're away from home, carry a portable power bank and your charger. Use the Pump Anywhere Case or Bag to keep everything organized and accessible. Checkpoint: Test your power bank with the charger beforehand to ensure compatibility.
