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.Gill
