Chloride Electrical Storage Company was started in 1891. The company was originally registered as Chloride Electrical Storage Syndicate on December 12, 1891.[1] It was formed in a deal between the Electric Storage Battery Company (E.S.B.

Products

Until 1914-1918 most of the demand was for large stationary batteries "used in generating stations and for domestic lighting installations". [1] New and growing demand came for batteries on submarines, and after the World War I the company's batteries were used for lighting and starting motors, and for accumulators for radio receiving sets. [1]

Acquisitions

The company made numerous acquisitions and gained control of alkaline battery and lead-acid battery manufacturing and became "a leading supplier of automotive and traction batteries".[1]

Customers

The company supplied Indian Railways, Ford, Rolls Royce and Vauxhall. Demand increased during World War II.[1]
