Founded in 1920 by Mr. Lawrence Gill in Redlands, California, Gill Electric Company began by manufacturing lead-acid batteries for the automotive industry. Over time, and especially during the war years, Gill expanded production to include batteries for military ground vehicles and aircraft—many of which are still in use today. Gill Electric pioneered the drycharged battery process, ensuring that each unit remains fresh and ready for service upon the addition of electrolyte. This innovation helped solidify Gill’s reputation as a trusted Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for industry-leading aviation brands including Raytheon, Cessna, LearJet, Mooney, Piper, Ayres, Airtractor, Maule, and Schweizer. In 2007, Gill introduced the 7000 Series LT Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) battery—an FAA-approved product line that delivers superior performance, rapid recharge times, and extended service life. This series has since become the preferred battery solution for an expanding list of airframe manufacturers.
