    Shhhhhhh!

    Still funny to me they have batteries rated at 48V but, ummm… 240V 🤷‍♂️

      The battery is 48V DC. It uses an inverter to produce 240V AC, similar to solar installations.

        Yeah, but does that mean a 48V 5.12kWh would be (roughly) equivalent to a 240V 1 kWh battery?

        Sorry, I’m only kinda familiar with power tools and bikes etc where the motor/output is rated the same as the battery itself…

        meh, I guess the volts don’t matter. All the other batteries are rated at Ah, not kWh…

            Yeah, thanks. I kinda figured it out that I was confusing the other batteries being rated at Ah, not kWh.

            But I appreciate you spending the time to set it out clearly.

            Have a good one.

        Thanks, bro. That’s a great comment to encourage participation.

        I’d hate to learn anything. And your comment achieved that.
