    5.12kW is 5.12kW no matter what the voltage is. I think you might be confusing current (amps) with power (watts).

    P = IV

    P = power

    I = current

    V = potential difference (voltage)

    so 5.12*10^3 W / 240V = 2133.33A —> 2.13 kAh

    vs

    5.12*10^3 W / 48V = 10666.67A —> 10.67 kAh

    so yes, it will last longer at 48V but calling it 5.12kWh is not misleading

      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.
