World's first sodium-ion power station is ready for extreme cold

"The Pioneer Na (get it? Na = sodium) is covered in AC and USB jacks and delivers up to 1,500W of continuous power, which is enough for the majority of household or camping devices. It also accepts up to 500W of solar input. But the star of this show is its 900Wh sodium-ion battery - a "world's first," according to Bluetti."

"Bluetti's at IFA 2025 with the world's first portable power station built around a sodium-ion battery, and a second, slim unit designed to mount next to the fridge to keep it running during a blackout. Take that claim with a... pinch of salt, however, because Bluetti announced a larger and more capable sodium-ion power station on wheels back in 2021."

Bluetti showed a portable power station built around a 900Wh sodium-ion battery and a slim unit intended to mount beside a refrigerator to maintain power during blackouts. The Pioneer Na offers AC and USB outlets, 1,500W continuous output, and up to 500W solar input. The sodium-ion chemistry permits charging and operation in extreme cold, with charging supported down to -15 degrees Celsius. Bluetti previously announced a larger sodium‑ion power station on wheels in 2021, and the Pioneer Na follows Elecom's recent sodium‑ion power bank release. The Pioneer Na is positioned for household and camping use.
