[RE-wrenches] Simpliphi Phi 3.8 48V Case Color

[Ray Walters]

Black case 48v are older, probably in the 5 to 6 year range. I can't 
comment on exactly when they made the change from black plastic to white 
metal, but I just did a warranty replacement of old black plastic models 
with new white metal ones. I would think paralleling would not be a good 
idea, because of the age difference. As with lead acid, you probably 
could get away with it, but I don't think they would charge and 
discharge evenly. IMHO, those are too expensive to play with.
