The Gill Electric Company was founded by Mr. Lawrence Gill in 1920, in Redlands, California, where the factory remains today. At that time, Gill Electric manufactured lead-acid batteries for the automotive industry. During the war years, Gill manufactured batteries for military ground vehicles and aircraft; some of these batteries are still in production today. Gill Electric improved the drycharged process which provides a fresh charged product when the electrolyte is added. Gill has become the OEM "original equipment battery" for Raytheon, Cessna, LearJet, Mooney, Piper, Ayres, Airtractor, Maule, Scheizer and others in the aviation industry and Gill continues to be the industry's choice for quality battery products. |

Battery was easy to install once I found some electrolyte. I do not think Aircraft Spruce should ship the G25 battery and not be able to supply the required electrolyte.

The battery requires acid. The only reason to order without the acid would be if you already have electrolyte that you can use to fill the battery.
Yes, this battery will qualify for free ground shipping to the lower 48 USA with or without acid.
Gill recommends that you fill it, charge it, and then use it. If it is absolutely necessary, you can pour the acid in, wait an hour, and use it but it will hurt the longevity of the battery.
No, these are not considered hazardous for ground shipping in the USA. These do qualify for free ground shipping and you will not incur an additional hazardous charge if you select the free ground method.
It's a Dry-Charged Lead Acid Battery.
Approx 21 lbs filled.
No, without the acid the battery can be safely stored without risk of deterioration.
That is an oversight in the app data. This should fit the 172A fine.
