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 manufacturing 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.
The new battery will deliver more power and significantly better shelf life than traditional VRLA batteries. Developed in-house by the engineering team at Gill Battery, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, Inc. and thoroughly tested by an independent test and measurement firm, the 7638-44 employs an optimal Lead alloy to enable the best possible performance in this chemistry.
The 7641-20 is also FAA and PMA certified. The benefit to aircraft owners and maintenance facilities is a new sealed, VRLA battery that provides exceptional power and previously unheard of shelf life as well as excellent durability and reliability.
