quote Raglover:
Straight shaft with lower unit, not curved like the weed eater type. Not the curvy all in one cowl either.

Using Peter Hunn’s book looks to be a post war model but think it is early in the post war era.
Does anyone have any knowledge on how to date it?
Allen, I don’t really have any knowledge about those but looking at some ads I have saved and a couple on eBay that match your description, and going by the first 2 numbers of your model number, I’d say maybe 1946.
As for the battery, some ads say use 6 volt, others say 12 volt, the ’46 ad says use either.
1945
