Founded in 1920 by Mr. Lawrence Gill in Redlands, California, Gill Electric Company initially manufactured lead-acid batteries for the automotive industry. Over the years, particularly during the war, Gill produced batteries for military ground vehicles and aircraft, many of which remain in production today.
Gill Electric has perfected the drycharged process, ensuring their batteries are fresh and fully charged when the electrolyte is added. As a result, Gill has become the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for prominent aviation companies such as Raytheon, Cessna, LearJet, Mooney, Piper, Ayres, Airtractor, Maule, and Schweizer, reinforcing its position as the industry's choice for high-quality battery products.Additionally, Gill's line of Valve-Regulated batteries, which are FAA approved, includes the most popular sizes and continues to evolve. The development of the 7000 Series LT Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) battery line in 2007 marked a significant advancement, offering the best lead-acid chemistry to meet customer needs. This series is designed to provide optimal power, fast recharge, and extended life, quickly making it the preferred choice for an increasing number of airframe manufacturers.
In the UK and Europe, Adams Aviation has established itself as a leading supplier of Gill products, ensuring accessibility and a high-quality service for a wide range of Gill's reliable battery solutions.
