    <p>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.</p>
