Looks like that battery can store up to 430wh and since there's a separate lead acid battery, I would guess you can completely drain that lithium battery without any worries.
This could be very useful for those who camp a lot if the 48v lithium battery converts to 12v and directly hooks into accessory power ports.
430 wh is not much power to work with. A run-of-the-mill lead-acid RV battery is about 100 amp/hours which is roughly 1200 wh. From what I saw in this video the system's main purpose is to provide auto start/stop capability and to essentially act as an electronic "flywheel" to capture some braking energy and put it back to the drive wheels when needed. The engineer claimed a 10% increase in fuel economy.
