What is the power loss to heat? I am thinking about using Rad Cycle batteries as a power source for my van (instead of a Jackery, Goalzero, etc) The batteries are 48V, 600Wh and I mostly just want to be able to convert to 5V up to 2.4amps. Is this possible and is this a dumb idea? Any pointers welcome.

At 80W, running a laptop, it hovered around 90F, shown here: https://transistor-man.com/lenovo_ebike_adapter.html#How_doe...
