Pendulum is a startup in Columbus, IN.
By working with us, you’re supporting domestic entrepreneurs trying to onshore battery materials manufacture.
Founding Mission
We are located at the Propeller facility in Columbus, Indiana. We founded Pendulum in 2021 with one mission: bringing the best and most critically needed batteries to the United States, start to finish.
This mission has since been validated by U.S. policy plans to fulfill battery demand domestically, with emphasis on the EV and energy storage markets.
It’s clear from the policy goals that “business as usual” won’t cut it.
Meeting these goals requires new processes, batteries, and battery companies.
Without this, U.S. dominance through industry, on the battlefield and in the air is threatened. Our platform is designed to swing the pendulum, from raw materials to pack.
Same capacity with fewer components and cells.
Liquid batteries can be based on one of several chemistries with longer lives, greater cycle lives, and cheaper, more abundant materials. To keep the materials in liquid state, these batteries operate at high temperatures.
Despite deployment of several hundred megawatt hours annually, liquid batteries are unknown to the average consumer/operator as their high operating temperatures have relegated them to exclusivelygrid-scale infrastructure. We seek to change that.
Pendulum fields innovations to the containment of these chemistries, enabling their use in applications 1/100th of the sizes currently available today. This enables liquid batteries for use in energy storage in form factors as small as a A/C condenser for use in a retail/commercial setting.
