I ordered a new EG4-LL 24V V2 battery, to add to my existing V2's. Attached is a photo of what arrived, from Signature Solar.
This appears to be a V1 battery to me, however the vendor is insistent that this is actually a V2, and that EG4 has updated the V2 to look this way, though the new appearance isn't reflected on their website yet.
Am I getting fleeced? Why would EG4 "update" their V2 front panel layout to match the older version of their battery? This seems like a strange decision, from a branding perspective, and reduces the pos/neg terminals from 2 each back to 1.
My chief concern is a lack of the built in fire suppression which is present in the V2, but I don't believe was a feature on the V1 - that, and not overpaying for old stock, of course.
Any advice is welcome!
