Should be identical...BUT...double check with the Penn guys in the Penn Forum at Stripers Online. They post there daily.

Thanks John!  I had just talked to guys at Penn and while it fits there is a design change that improves line lay on the Battle II so they say not to use a Battle spool on a Battle II. 

On a separate note: I sent a 10 month old Battle 4000 to them to check out because it was still under warranty and was a little "tight" with very little use.  The replaced it with a brand new Battle II 4000 and included an extra spool since I had purchased one of those for the Battle also.  I'M IMPRESSED!
