You're comparing apples to oranges. The two vehicles and setups are just too different to compare anything.

Essentially what you have found out is that the orions are lower quality batteries.

This is the info you're looking for:

"A good place to be is at less than 5%-7% of pack voltage for the worst-case ripple voltage.

An OK place to be is 7%-10% of pack voltage for worst-case ripple.

10%-12% is marginal, and is risky.

If ripple voltage is above 12-15% (or more) of pack voltage at any point, it's likely that the battery isn't up to the task, and you run the risk of damaging the battery and the electronics."
