CARKU to Debut Next-Gen Sodium-Ion Jump Starters at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026

Carku, a jump starter manufacturer, has been steadily expanding its presence in the European market in recent years. The company is now building out its distribution network across five core markets — the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Spain — as well as other parts of Western Europe. From September 8 to 12, 2026, Carku will showcase its next-generation sodium-ion battery technology at Automechanika Frankfurt, a five-day trade show, at booth No. 10.1D73 in the automotive aftermarket zone.

Building on this expansion, Carku’s multifunctional jump starter, the JS-558, has become one of the most popular models in the European market in 2024 and 2025, underscoring the competitiveness of Carku’s products in the automotive aftermarket.

Carku has recently introduced a new 12V and 24V dual-voltage jump starters (Na+ jump starters) built on its next-generation sodium-ion battery technology, covering both passenger and commercial vehicle applications. Leveraging this diversified product portfolio, Carku is deepening its investment in Europe to build out end-to-end research, development and manufacturing capabilities for its jump starter solutions — meeting the growing demand from B2B customers for coordinated OEM/ODM delivery, and marking a key step in the company’s global expansion strategy.

Carku 12V & 24V Jump Starter Series: Professional Power for Cars and Heavy-Duty Vehicles

Following the JS-393B’s Global Sources Innovation Award win in October 2024, Carku has continued to advance its research into sodium-ion (Na+) battery technology, launching the JS-617N 12V & 24V sodium-ion jump starter.

Unlike Carku’s 12V series, which is designed primarily for passenger cars, the JS-617N is compatible with both 12V and 24V vehicles, delivering emergency starting support for passenger cars, diesel pickups, heavy-duty trucks, tractors and RVs. Thanks to the -40°F ~176°F tolerance of its sodium-ion battery, the JS-617N delivers reliable starting power in both extreme cold and heat, making it well suited to roadside assistance, fleet maintenance, off-road use and agricultural equipment.

Key Features of the Carku 12V & 24V Jump Starter — JS-617N

  1. Dual 12V/24V Voltage for a Wide Range of Vehicles— Delivers up to 2,500A of peak current, supporting gasoline cars, diesel pickups, heavy-duty trucks, tractors and RVs, reducing the need for separate jump starters across different vehicle voltages.
  2. Na+ Sodium-Ion Battery for Extreme Temperature Resistance— A next-generation sodium-ion battery offers greater material stability and a lower risk of thermal runaway, with reliable operation from -40°C to 80°C for dependable starts in severe cold or heat.
  3. 38,400mAh High Capacity for Multiple Jump Starts— A 38,400mAh/115.2Wh sodium-ion battery supports multiple emergency starts, while 65W USB-C PD fast charging shortens charging time and improves efficiency for roadside assistance and fleet maintenance.
  4. 10-Layer Protection for Emergency and Everyday Power Needs— Integrated protection against short-circuiting, overcurrent, overheating, reverse polarity and AI-based monitoring, among other safeguards, is paired with a 3W multi-mode LED light and USB and 12V/10A DC outputs for charging phones, night-time lighting and powering other devices.

Carku 12V Jump Starter Series: One Device for Everyday, Multi-Scenario Emergencies

Building on the standard 12V Jump Starter, the 12V Jump Starter with Tire Inflator adds a 160PSI high-pressure air pump and inflation function, and upgrades battery capacity to 24,000mAh — further extending the device’s all-in-one design for emergency starting and tire inflation.

Unlike the 12V & 24V dual-voltage jump starter, this multifunctional device is designed not only for emergency vehicle starts and tire inflation, but also for outdoor use. Its built-in air pump can inflate air mattresses for camping, saving time and effort. By combining multiple practical functions in a single device, it reduces the need to carry several separate tools, making outdoor trips, roadside assistance and everyday driving more convenient.
