CARKU Showcases Next-Generation Sodium-Ion Products at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026

CARKU, a company based in Europe, showcased its next-generation sodium-ion products at the Automechanika Frankfurt 2026 trade fair. The event, held in Frankfurt, Germany, on September 16, 2026, saw CARKU present its JS-617N jump starter, which caters to both passenger and commercial vehicles. This product is designed to handle starting needs in extreme conditions, including temperatures as low as -40°C.

In addition to the jump starter, CARKU introduced two new starting batteries. The CBL230D-24V is a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, while the CBN50-G51-24V is a sodium-ion battery. Both are aimed at expanding the company's commercial vehicle applications. The CBL230D-24V is already in mass production in Southeast Asia and is being considered for broader use in automotive, marine, and truck sectors as an alternative to traditional lead-acid batteries.

The JS-617N jump starter is equipped with intelligent voltage recognition, manual-start capability, and a suite of 10 safety protection functions. These features ensure reliable vehicle starting in demanding conditions. The product is designed to operate effectively in extreme temperatures, making it a valuable tool for drivers in cold climates.

CARKU's presence at Automechanika Frankfurt underscores its commitment to innovation in vehicle emergency starting solutions. The company's jump starter series contributes approximately 30% of its revenue, reflecting its established expertise in this area. Europe remains a key overseas market for CARKU, with the company aiming to capitalize on the growing demand for advanced battery technologies.

The CBN50-G51-24V sodium-ion starting battery is particularly noteworthy for its ability to support reliable engine starting across a wide temperature range. This makes it an ideal choice for commercial vehicles operating in challenging conditions. The battery's sodium-ion chemistry is designed to provide consistent performance, even in extreme temperatures, thereby enhancing the overall reliability of the vehicle's starting system.

CARKU's CBL230D-24V LiFePO4 battery is another highlight of the company's product lineup. This dual-purpose battery is designed to combine engine starting with auxiliary power for fuel-powered trucks. When paired with a power inverter and parking AC system, it can support an integrated power solution for commercial vehicles. This versatile battery is already in mass production, indicating CARKU's proactive approach to market demands.

CARKU's portfolio of products is backed by 852 global patents and is compliant with international standards, including CE, FCC, RoHS, and UL. The company's comprehensive range of solutions, from jump starters to starting batteries, positions it as a leader in the automotive accessories market. As CARKU continues to innovate, it aims to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving battery technology landscape.
