CARKU Debuts Sodium-Ion Power Solutions at Automechanika Frankfurt

The centerpiece of the company's exhibit in Hall 10.1 is the JS-617N, a versatile jump starter engineered for both passenger and commercial vehicles. Designed to function in extreme climates, the unit maintains cold-start capabilities down to -40°C. It features intelligent voltage recognition and a manual override for deeply depleted batteries, supported by a 10-point safety architecture covering thermal and electrical safeguards.

Beyond individual jump starters, CARKU is pivoting its battery portfolio toward sodium-ion technology to address the needs of heavy-duty transport. The new CBN50-G51-24V battery utilizes sodium-ion chemistry specifically to ensure engine reliability in fluctuating temperatures. Complementing this is the CBL230D-24V, a dual-purpose LiFePO4 battery currently in mass production. Engineered for trucks, this unit serves as both an engine starter and an auxiliary power source, allowing drivers to integrate parking air conditioning and inverters without relying on traditional lead-acid systems. These hardware advancements reflect CARKU’s strategy to phase out conventional lead-acid dependency across maritime, trucking, and automotive sectors.
