Newer large-capacity battery systems seem more likely to specify battery capacity in (k)Wh. I think this is because they come with sophisticated battery management systems that keep the battery within a narrow charge (20%-80%) range, so therefore they can be assured of the bounds of the voltage.

Also, Li-ion and LiFePO4 batteries have a much different discharge curve than earlier chemistries [1], with much more constant voltage up to 80% discharge.
