About emPOWER Battery Technology
The Gahanna company emPOWER Battery Technology develops a battery anode material it calls the Glass Anode. The material is designed for cells that charge in minutes, hold more energy for their size, keep working in extreme cold and avoid swelling, and it works with several cathode types. The company targets electric vehicles, defense systems, commercial markets and grid storage that trims peak loads.
The company was founded in 2021 to bring the Glass Anode to market and produces the material in the United States. It has begun scaling up production for commercial and defense customers, has designed larger cells for pilot production at a university battery research center, and is developing fast-charging cells for military drones under defense research contracts. Lab visits are by appointment only.
