The clear winner here is going to the B-124, unless the size requirements and USB outlets are especially important to you.
Wireless capability is great so you can see the capacity and estimated time remaining.
Although the B-124 battery has a larger overall volume, we found that the slimmer profile of it had helped us hide the battery in vehicles much easier compared to the taller B-112. Having the battery hardwired also is a must for a clean installation.
