Actually, this has more to do with it's battery and how it can be used.

Does anyone know if the lithium battery built into this system can power the accessories within the vehicle?

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.

Lithium batteries do not like to be completely discharged. Chris

Never had a problem discharging all my tool batteries.

That's because you can't. Even when the tool battery appears to be "dead" meaning it won't put out a single bit of power, it's not actually dead. It's just at the low voltage cut off. Cordless tool batteries are just filled with 3.7V 18650 lithium cells. They have protection built in where they won't discharge lower than what is safe, and the tool battery likely has a BCM (battery control module) in addition to that because lithium batteries are very dangerous if not treated right. Many videos on YouTube about replacing 18650s inside tool batteries that show the guts.
