Sodium-Ion Jump Starters

CARKU is expanding portable vehicle power with the JS-617N, a 12V/24V sodium-ion jump starter designed for passenger and heavy-duty applications. Debuting at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, the device applies sodium-ion battery technology to roadside starting power while emphasizing reliable operation in sub-zero conditions. CARKU pairs the battery chemistry with its proprietary battery management system and intelligent controls to provide protection during vehicle starting. The launch extends the company’s existing portfolio beyond lithium-powered jump starters.

For automotive businesses, sodium-ion technology could provide another battery option as manufacturers diversify energy-storage chemistries and adapt to changing market requirements. Compatibility with both 12V and 24V vehicles broadens the product’s potential across individual drivers, commercial fleets and maintenance operations. CARKU’s two manufacturing facilities and established global distribution network could also help the company scale its sodium-ion products throughout European markets.
