Carku wins Global Sources Innovation Award for portable power station

Battery manufacturer Carku received the 2026 Global Sources Innovation Award in Hong Kong for its PB 113 400W portable energy storage system

Carku, a global leader in proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) design and smart battery integration, has won the Global Sources Innovation Award for its portable power station, the CARKU 400W PB-113. The company unveiled its latest lineup at the Global Sources Consumer Electronics Show in Hong Kong, leveraging the city's role as a global trading hub to connect with partners and buyers.

The PB-113 model, at the heart of Carku's energy storage lineup, showcases a comprehensive range of AC-powered energy solutions designed for outdoor camping and emergency applications. Built on Carku's deep manufacturing expertise and flexible OEM/ODM capabilities, the company showcased models across diverse capacities.

The PB-113 stands out with its 400W AC output, capable of supporting daily electronics and providing a compact solution for off-grid travel. Weighing just 5 kg, the power station saves up to 50% trunk space compared to traditional models, and features smart jumper clamps with 10-stage safety protection, enabling safe jump-starts of dead batteries with a single button.

Powered by premium LiFePO4 cells engineered for over 3,000 cycles, the PB-113 maximizes energy density and thermal stability, backed by advanced BMS hardware that provides real-time operating protection. Carku's leadership emphasized safety as the foundation of the product, stating that the award validates their approach of integrating emergency jump-starting and energy storage into an automotive-grade ecosystem for both roadside assistance and off-grid living.

Carku's win at the Innovation Award underscores the product's role in addressing market demand in Asia-Pacific, where disaster readiness and evolving grids are driving off-grid power adoption. To accelerate regional rollout, Carku is executing its compliance roadmap, including securing PSE certification in Japan, to deliver safe and dependable energy across the region.
