    For Sodium Ion it doesn't really matter because the Sodium Ion 12v is capable of going to 15.5v which most existing 12v chargers won't reach. Which is OK because it doesn't have to go to 100%.

    The only company I can find that makes Sodium Ion cells now in China is CATL. So it would be interesting if others make them. But CATL is already making plans for next gen Sodium Ions with greater capacity as good as Lithium and charges as fast or faster.

    Actually there is another called HiNa. Could be that one too.

    Yes, CATL is one of the well-known manufacturers of sodium-ion cells. However, CATL produces several different sodium-ion cell models with dramatically different specifications, particularly when it comes to the minimum charging temperature.

    That's why it would be very interesting to know which specific cells are used in the NexPower 12V battery. Without that information, it's difficult to draw conclusions about its low-temperature charging performance.
