Battle II handle arm

[Keta]

I need a handle arm for a Penn Battle II project and was wondering if the older Battle handle arm will work?  What is the difference between the Battle and the Battle II?

I am as certain as I can be Keta that there is no change in the handle (and still not be certain) .

The B2 changes were in the spool (drag and line markings) and bearings (sealed, not just shielded) and finish as I understand them.

BUT, really only someone from Penn can tell us if they have the identical handle in the same size reel.

The Battle II appears to be a well built reel.
