It will be interesting to see if there is a difference between the two.
Please let us know

There are many advantages, as with using LiPo or LiFePO4 batteries for other applications..
Weight vs capacity
BMS
Variation in voltage output. Many of these devices have inverters fitted for 240v AC output.
Amount of power they will deliver to the device.
Number of charging cycles in the lifetime of the battery.
The amount that you can discharge the battery each cycle.

what's TP??
Regarding 240 volts, why would this be needed bankside,?
I have a small 10ah, sealed battery from a stairlift, that belonged to my late father, it must be over ten years old, on a full charge I can charge a phone 11 times with it, but never needed to more than one time, in a week and a half session, it also powers a small red bivvy led for tea making and baiting up in the darkness, I can charge the bait boat too if needs be.
you could source a similar battery for less than £30 if you shop around, and a double usb socket with voltmeter is a fiver or less. lithium for more if you really must have it, but again it seems an expensive way to do the same job.
some of these fancy power packs are mega money.
I use BMS myself.

I'm guessing your battery weighs about 3.5kg? Wouldn't bother some but to others that's too much just to charge a phone.
I wouldn't use the 240v either, but if anyone has any equipment with a wall wart style SMPS you can't use a 12v adapter.
If you want to charge most laptops you need at least 45W delivery, smaller 12v lead acid batteries won't deliver that consistently over USB C without proper BMS despite having the power available.
I don't have the use for one of these high capacity power packs either as I take a 100ah LifePo for my outboard, but for people who like to take their gadgets the advantage is there.

ok, fair comment, but I come from an era where the "laptop" wasn't event invented let alone being taken fishing. [I'm talking pre bivvy/bedchair days] hell when I started it was with whole cane and greenhart.

Mine has been at Parcel sorting for 17 days

Have you seen the pictures online of the sort centre's with hundreds of cages outside,well your power-pack is probably there

Just a little update, the usb c charge port is also a fast charge and does work as a fast charge. Charged it up to 100% and so far charged my work phone and currently seeing how many times it will charge my note 10+ but all is looking good
