Which EG4 Lifepower 48V battery?

[goodwillhinton]

I'm going to build a small hand truck system with the EG4 3KW inverter. I was going to get the EG4 Lifepower 48V V2 battery but noticed that the V1 battery is considerably less expensive and on sale today. Is it worth the cost savings to go with the older battery? What differences should I consider between the two? TIA

Not sure where you are finding the V1 batteries. They are no longer produced so, were it up to me, I'd go with the V2. They don't mix well and the V1s will be harder and harder to find.
