The differences that matter
- 12 V → 48 V: first of all, this decides which of the two can go into your system.
- 28 kg → 45 kg: 17 kg more to carry with the Liontron.
- Warranty 7 → 10 years (manufacturer-declared values): the Liontron declares 6,000 cycles.
- Bluetooth and cold-charge protection: yes → no: the Liontron has neither.
